Introduced in the very first expansion DLC of Destiny 2, Curse of Osiris, Duty Bound was an Auto Assault Rifle rewarded from the “Savathûn’s Song” Weekly Nightfall Strike on Titan. However, the Strike was removed, and the weapon received an Infusion cap (or was “sunset” as Bungie said) with the Beyond Light expansion in 2020. It was a pretty popular Legendary gun thanks to its high fire rate, flexible Perks for PvP and PvE scenarios, and the cool bayonet. Now, thankfully, Bungie has re-added Duty Bound again to Destiny 2 with The Witch Queen expansion, complete with a slew of powerful Perks.
