Season of Opulence carries on the story of Emperor Calus and the Leviathan (big planet-eating space ship). Calus was first introduced into Destiny universe with the launch of Destiny 2’s first ever raid called Leviathan where he challenged the Guardians in various encounters. Later on, we’ve had also got 2 raid-lairs on the Leviathan called Eater of Worlds and Spire of Stars.
With the Season of Opulence, Bungie released a brand-new raid called Crown of Sorrows. This raid goes more in-depth into the story of Calus and why he came to our Sol system.
Crown of Sorrows starts off at the Leviathan and only has 1 Boss encounter at the end of it. The main boss is Gahlran The Sorrow Bearer. And by defeating the end-boss, one of your Fireteam members will get an exotic sub-machine gun called Tarrabah.
If you’re a PvP player, you must’ve heard of The Recluse (a pinnacle weapon for Competitive playlist made available in Season of the Drifter). This SMG reigns supreme in PvP and in PvE as well.
Moving on to the raid exotic weapon this season, Tarrabah. Intrinsically, the main perk on this weapon is called Ravenous Beast which states “This weapon stores power when dealing or receiving damage. Once full, hold reload to unleash the beast.” Another pinnacle trait on this weapon is “Dealing continuous damage extends the duration of Ravenous Beast.”
This means as long as you are doing damage to the main boss, you can keep the Ravenous Beast active for a long time. This might sound a little too over-powered but it’s not. Remember, the main perk only lasts for seven seconds. So, it’s basically useless in PvP since you can’t find enemy after enemy to deal more damage. In PvE though, this weapon can be used on Majors, Captains, etc.
This YouTuber has melted every Strike boss using only this SMG and it just looks unreal. You can check out the video of him slaying this weapon below:
If you don’t know, just like last year, Solstice of Heroes will be available on July 30, 2019. Here’s the complete questline on how you can acquire that glowing armor set for every character.
