Renegades introduces an arsenal of new weapons and gear, including the Praxic Blade, Destiny 2’s lightsaber-inspired kinetic Exotic Sword. This new weapon offers multiple customization paths that meaningfully impact gameplay, along with earnable cosmetics that alter the color of the blade. Renegades also debuts a new weapon archetype, Blasters, which features a heat-based firing and reload system that replaces traditional magazines.

​New Exotics arriving with Renegades include:

• Kinetic Sword - Praxic Blade (inspired by lightsabers)
• Solar Crossbow - Heirloom (inspired by Chewbacca’s iconic weapon)
• Strand Machine Gun - Service of Luzaku
• Warlock Helmet - Deimosuffusion
• Hunter Legs – Fortune's Favor
• Titan Chest – Praxic Vestment

During the stream, members of the Destiny 2 developer team dove deep into the Lawless Frontier, a new activity designed for replayability and scalable challenge. In Renegades, players build reputation with shady Syndicate factions through the new Notoriety system, taking on a range of solo or three-person missions commissioned by three distinct factions:

• The Pikers: An anarchist and atheist biker gang of Eliksni seeking to build a society free from traditional ranks and hierarchy.
• Tharsis Reformation: A breakaway sect of sentient Vex, driven by a desire to experience personal identity outside the Vex collective.
• Totality Division: A rogue branch of the Barant Imperium Cabal, operating as a Syndicate on Mars and ruled by psions.

​Job types include Smuggling runs to transport valuable goods between Syndicate facilities, Bounty Hunts that track and eliminate high-value targets, and Sabotage operations that disrupt rival Syndicate strongholds. Lawless Frontier features new maps set on Mars, Europa, and Venus, expanding these destinations with fresh routes and combat spaces. The update also introduces the new Invasion mode, an opt-in feature which allows a Guardian to spawn into the playing field to disrupt progress and earn unique rewards.

Renegades Abilities are powerful tools that let Guardians bend the rules of combat within the Lawless Frontier mode. Guardians can earn, upgrade, and deploy a wide arsenal of offensive, defensive, and support abilities to enhance their abilities and role in battle.
