<\/figure>\n\n\n\nForsaken also changed how bows work and made them viable for PvP and PvE<\/a>. This meant that the bows that were added in Forsaken were highly sought after and since there were only a few of them, people started looking towards bows that you could get without Forsaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This allowed them to change their model according to their own vision and in order to get more players than ever before, Bungie made the base game free-to-play and included the 3 expansions; Warmind, Curse of Osiris, and some of Forsaken, into this new version and called it Destiny 2: New Light<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Destiny](\"https:\/\/gamingreaper.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/929255-2-1024x655.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThat makes it so that there are only a few bows that players can get without getting any of the expansions, especially Forsaken, although there are a few really cool bows that are only available for Shadowkeep owners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this, we’ll go over all the bows that are available with the free version of the game and what players can do in order to get them. Some of these bows are exotic so there are certain quests that need to be completed to get them and some of them are only unlocked through world drops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We will also go over some of the great bows that are available with Forsaken<\/a> and the other expansions so that you have an idea of what to look forward to if you ever get the expansions. Before we get into all of that though, there is something that you should know about how random drops work in the game and what it means for players that don’t have any of the expansions.<\/p>\n\n\n
Random Drops<\/h2>\n\n\nThe main feature that New Light players have access to is the world drop pool which decides which weapons can be had from the engrams that enemies drop. This loot pool is the same for all players, regardless of what expansions that they have purchased. This means that free-to-play players can get a chance for a bow to drop from an expansion even if they don’t own that expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This only includes certain exotics and legendaries but it does not include raid-related weapons. It also doesn\u2019t include weapons that require you to complete a quest that is part of any of the expansions that you don\u2019t have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\nPre-Forsaken Bows<\/h2>\n\n\nLuckily, there are a few bows that exist as Exotic weapons which means that you won’t have to grind for the best roll or spend hours trying to get it to drop. Sunsetting is also another great boon for players because it makes it so that they don’t have to complete the quest in order to get the weapon, instead, they can just go to the exotic vendor and buy the bow without having to do a single thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This change only became possible after the release of Beyond Light which is the newest expansion to Destiny 2. The new expansion itself adds a few bows so it might be worth it to get all of the expansions just so that you can experience all that Destiny 2 has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The bows that existed before Forsaken can be divided into three tiers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Rare<\/li>
- Legendary<\/li>
- Exotic<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n
Rare Bows<\/h3>\n\n\n
The rare weapons in Destiny 2 are denoted by the color blue and are quite common. If you desperately need a bow then you have the best chance of getting this one. It was added to the world pool with the latest season which means that it will be quite a common drop. It is called the Holless- IV and is the only rare bow currently in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since this bow is part of the newest season, you have a really high chance of it dropping for you from just random blue engrams. The best course of action to get this bow is to either play crucible matches as those usually reward you with a couple of blue weapons. You could also do strikes that don\u2019t take a lot of time to complete as that will enable you to get a lot of rewards in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n\n\n
Legendary Bows<\/h3>\n\n\n
Legendary rarity is where you\u2019ll find most bows as they are more than 10 bows that belong in this category. There are certain ones that are native to specific events whereas some are raid exotics and New Light players just can\u2019t participate in raids anymore without getting one of the expansions.<\/p>\n\n\n
World Drop Bows<\/h4>\n\n\nThe bows that are available as world drops are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- No Turning Back<\/li>
- Biting Winds<\/li>
- Arsenic Bite<\/li>
- Subtle Calamity<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
There is no real guide to get these weapons as they are random drops and could be in any of the legendary engrams that you unlock. To maximize the chance of getting any of these bows I recommend doing pinnacle activities as they have a chance of being a pinnacle drop and that way you can get one that is at a high light level. You should also do all the activities that give out powerful rewards as that will increase the chance of getting one of these bows.<\/p>\n\n\n
Activity Bows<\/h4>\n\n\nThere are certain activities that give you a bow as a reward. Currently, there are only 2 activities that do that. Those activities are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exotic Bows<\/h3>\n\n\nThere are certain exotic bows that players can get without much trouble. The exotic bows that you can get as a New Light player are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Trinity Ghoul<\/li>
- Wish Ender<\/li>
- Le Monarque<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
All three of these exotic bows are extremely good although Trinity Ghoul is the best of the three because of the catalyst that it recently got. The catalyst makes it so that it can take out groups of enemies in a matter of seconds. It is also extremely fast as it has a short draw time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wish Ender is also a great bow and since the quest for it is no longer available, you can just get it by buying it from the exotics vendor. Le Monarque, on the other hand, used to be only available from completing a Black Armory quest but since that has been sunset you can just buy this bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\nBows to Look Forward To IN dESTINY 2<\/h2>\n\n\n
There are still a lot of bows that New Light players cannot get because they are locked behind certain quests or events.<\/p>\n\n\n
Raid Bows<\/h3>\n\n\nThere are two bows that are locked behind raids and they are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Tyranny of Heaven<\/li>
- Accrued Redemption<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The Tyranny of Heaven can be found in any of the chests or encounter drops from the Last Wish raid. The Accrued Redemption, on the other hand, is exclusive to the Garden of Salvation raid.<\/p>\n\n\n
Exotic Bows<\/h3>\n\n\nThere are also two exotics bows that are native to Destiny 2 expansions. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Leviathan\u2019s Breath<\/li>
- Ticuu\u2019s Divination<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
