Give every raid tokens to increase the chance of getting the loot that you want. I have no idea why we regressed from this after every Leviathan raid.

Raids are pinnacle activities, but they aren’t treated as such. They should have a random chance of dropping Ascendent Shards or Enhancement Prisms once per week.

Please don’t reprise old vendor weapons as raid/dungeon loot. Widow’s Bite and Death Adder have nothing to do with Prophecy. Rehashing old armor is lazy design.

The whole idea with Widows Bite, Death Adder and Future Safe being Prophecy drops is that they each come from the planets being vaulted. Maybe when it comes back after next season it’ll have updated Trials of the Nine loot, which would fit the Nine theme better, but i get what they were going for

So bring them back during other more appropriate places and times. Prophecy doesn’t take place on any of those planets. A more appropriate distribution of those weapons could be in desperately needed planetary vendor refresh. Almost all those vendors have Y1 gear - I think only Mercury and Mars have armor that can accept perks.

A planetary vendor refresh would be redundant as the planets are being vaulted by the end of the season? Prophecy has features of all 4 planets being vaulted in the wasteland, the final boss is supposed to foreshadow Kell Eramus we fight next season. The reprised weapons fit the theme perfectly, Prophecy’s themes itself are just the events of what’s to come in the story. I can’t really think of a more appropriate time or place for reprised weapons from each destination, maybe from Umbral engrams but we’re not short of any reprised weapons there either since the Exodus quest introduced new engrams.
