Ice Breaker confirmed for Destiny 2 return, against all odds

Bungie wants to break the ice.

Ice Breaker, an Exotic Sniper Rifle from Destiny 1, will be making a return to Destiny 2. This has come as a surprise to many fans, because devs have been saying for years that Icebreaker, among other Exotics from Destiny 1, would never make it into the second game.

In a blog post celebrating the game's 10 year anniversary, Bungie has teased that the fan-favorite weapon will be making a comeback.

"A certain Exotic Sniper Rifle, one considered a myth by many at this point, is resurfacing in the upcoming Dungeon. We'll share more info at a later date, but we hope this helped... break the ice," they said.

Icebreaker was famously OP because of its ability to regenerate ammo, similarly to Whisper of the Worm, which saw some significant nerfs to its ammo regeneration in Destiny 2 because of balancing issues. The game has changed significantly over the last 10 years, though, so it should be interesting to see how Icebreaker fits into the current state of Destiny and alongside Whisper.

Gjallarhorn was another Exotic that made it into Destiny 2 as an old weapon from the first game, and it came with a few changes, so it's possible that Icebreaker will also look different from Destiny 1 when it's eventually added to Destiny 2.

Since you need to complete an intricate amount of steps to get Gjallarhorn, it's likely that you'll need to do something similar with Icebreaker. Bungie did mention that it will be coming back with a Dungeon, but it's unclear if it's just a release with the new Dungeon or if we will need to complete the Dungeon to get it.

We'll keep you updated as more information becomes available. In the meantime, be sure to check out How to complete the Salvation's Edge Raid and The one fatal flaw with the Pathfinder system on Pro Game Guides.
