@@Lylybeebee tbh i was thinking of more different of class specific weapons. Glaives stay to Hunters, gauntlets for Titan and staves for Warlocks. but sadly that will take much much longer to even make .. so yea titans shouldve been the one saying "dear god".. because all they know is fisting and punching
Gotta give it to bungie. When they released The Lament nothing made you feel more badass than wielding and revving a chainsaw sword! The glaive is the next big thing essentially a multi-tool with a whole lot of utility. Who doesn't like meleeing or just straight up punching things?
I still scream 'For the Emperor' whenever I use the Lament... A Warhammer Chainsword is honestly one of the best weapons they could have added, and now with the Glaive they tossed in a Guardian Spear. AND IM HERE FOR IT
One of my favorite details about the Glaive is the blade. It looks like it has a Damascus blade design to it. I absolutely love it! I'M. SO. READY!!!!!
Honestly, the Dev Areas were much more interesting to me than the Glaive They should show us their Test Environments and how they test stuff in there that looks interesting AF to me to see how they test the game.
Imagine one day in the future we get a map editor type thing and we can build our own test environments, that would be fucking insane but not sure how that would be possible in an MMO
Right? I loved those segments. In an older video they have a part where they're testing Leviathan's Breath and blowing all of the enemies away; it's so cool getting to see that stuff.
Reminds me a lot of the BO2 Origins Staffs. Similar reload animation, both have special melee integration, both have special offensive and defensive ways too
For me it's reminiscent of the Guardian Spears wielded by the Adeptus Custodes in Warhammer 40K. I have always wanted to know what it would feel like to wield one of those bad boys, and this for me is probably about as close as it'll ever get. I am beyond hyped.
@@Khaujii My brother is actually gonna test if Necrotic Grips and Osteo Striga are gonna work together in WQ, I'm kinda scared to see how broken the combo might turn out to be.
Best way to test new equipment; Turn it up to 11 and tune it from there. Hope we get an actual fantasy looking mage staff in the future or Zavala's spear from his trailer.
It was actually just an Arc staff he scavenged from a Fallen, but I agree with top comment, hope we get that as an exotic glaive quest or maybe just an ornament.
Y’all are killing it at maintaining the hype around this release, especially considering how long it’s been teased. The hype is real and it looks like y’all are gonna deliver
"You're not play testing If no one's being a insufferable little trash goblin" I mean the glaive is cool and all, but this line just hits different and hits hard
Exactly! Glaives aren't original in D2! They are in many other games. All Bungie did was combine glaives from Monster Hunter World with magic staffs from Elder Scrolls....
@@ladyofthedarkmoonlotus I mean they are right tho, warframe did the same thing ages ago too, glaives being able to shoot aren't exactly a destiny exclusive thing
If things stay the same from the video then I'm stoked melee with the glaive doesn't use ammo. I've been curious if they were like swords so this is awesome. :D
1:06 If this is the final size of the shield hitbox this footage is gonna be really useful for finding out exactly where the shield blocks since the visual of the shield is much smaller than what the hitbox looks like here.
When Bows released I liked them, but was nothing too crazy, but the Glaive is just on another level of hype. I'll keep my expectations low for the Warlock Exotic Glaive, but the base weapon looks so cool and I can't wait to craft my perfect god roll (Grave Robber + Swashbuckler 😁 (both confirmed))! I noticed they changed the design from the picture to in-game and I think I prefer the Throne World look from the picture, but it won't stop me from using the s**t out of it! Fun fact for those who don't know: the melee on the Glaive doesn't use ammo and can be used even when you have no ammo in your Glaive. Also I love the WQ version of Regicide at the beggining. Edit: Damn, damage increasing perks don't increase melee damage of the Glaive.
@@DustyDesertRat Each weapon is still going to have its own limited perk pool, that you can then pick perks to choose from, so FPS' comment still stands.
Well everytime something new gets announced I see even more cool things I can't wait to get my grimy hands on. I hope the exotics we get are nutty for the glaive.
It might do. Originally Actium War Rig didn’t work on Machine Guns until they updated it so maybe Sword-based exotic Armor will get the same treatment.
Dev: " its the type a weapon you can only find in a bungie game" me: So its a Jaffa staff from Stargate, but with an actual blade at the end? Still cool to see them add a new type of weapon to the game again, wonder what hoops we will have to jump through to get one.
When the Glaives come I guarantee I'm never taking it off even in the crucible. So much utility and usefulness! I wonder how well this will do in PVE content. Congrats Bungo you have officially gotten me hyped.
“It’s the kind of weapon you can only find in a Bungie game.” *coughs in Bloodborne spear rifle* I’m pretty hyped for the glaive, hope it turns into a fairly competitive special weapon option.
Legitimately haven't felt this much hype since the buildup of TTK (I missed the Forsaken buildup) Also Darkness theme at 1:14 but this time with a choir
I’ll be honest, I’m shocked there wasn’t a dreg spear exotic glaive, not including the hunter exotic. No idea what it’s perk would be or how it’s uniqueness would’ve manifested, but still, could’ve been fun. One more fallen weapon for the collection.
Obviously literal glaive exists in other sci-fantasy IPs, but a glaive that has shielding and is also a gun is not too common. The closet I can think of is Bloodborne’s rifle spear.
Fellas, if my suggestion that an order of Demi-god giants wished to file a grievance against someone named Joe wasn’t tongue-in-cheek enough, I’ll be more clear. Glaive rad. Destiny good. Very excite for the 22nd.
@@troudbalos As far as I remember, the only gun blade weapon Warframe has is the redeemer (and it’s prime version). But will agree that WF’s melee system is way smoother than D2, but D2 is primarily a shooter as opposed to an ARPG with shooting.
@@J-manli Warframe has spears with guns attached. You can also throw them. They're classified as 'spear-guns'. They aren't overly meta or anything within Warframe but they do exist.
This is very similar to the introduction of swords in the taking king. Even has 3 exotic versions but this time for class specific. Hive god=new bladed weapon? Xivu arath hopefully its a battle axe that would be sick af. Looking forward to this
"This is kind of weapon you can only find in Destiny". It looks very familiar to pistol spear (if im correct) from Bloodborne. The only thing it couldn't do is make a shield and fire elemental projectiles
the moment everyone get their hand on the glaive. "I am the hammer, I am the sword in His hand, I am the point of His spear, I am the gauntlet about His fist, I am the bane of His foes, and I am the woes of the treacherous, I am the end."
The soundtrack of this video is great. It’s like what we’ve been hearing at the ends of any trailer/video for the past few months. Title screen music, perhaps?
I really like the concept of these guys putting a lot of things to introduce in the next dlc and throw them into the wall to see if anything stick. Its like the transformers movie but here works
@@hunterwoodham6314 I have no doubts that this expansion will have a ton of bugs, I just hope that they put enough work into the guns so that they don't have to disable them the second someone finds out the worm gun can shaxx instead of the worm. But hey, a man can dream.
I’ve never played Warhammer before, but does the glaive in that game have a shield and projectile function as well? I don’t think they’re saying glaives as a weapon are only in this game, just the version they’ve created.
@@fyrusgrey5153 doesn't have a shield (although the custodes wielding them would hardly need one) but it does have a boltgun that the blade is attached to.
You say it's something you can't find elsewhere yet it's a near carbon copy of a guardian spear from warhammer 40,000. Granted that's also why I'm very excited to use it.
The glaive is looking super sick! I can't wait to get my hands on one. But, as for it being only in Destiny, I don't think that's true. I remember there was this one game on the PSP called Legend of Arcana that had a gun pike/spear. And it was one of my most favorite weapons in the game.
This really just makes me think the best games come from devs in tune and communicating with gamers who respect and want the best for the game as well. So hyped for WQ hope Bungie keeps doing well. Also, glaives are one of my favorite weapons since I started gaming its so sick.
Need more crazy weapons going forward like this, a whole arsenal of merged melee / range weapons. A pistol and shield, a scythe, claws / knuckles, crossbows along with craftable modular modifications and more, kind of sad how we live in this crazy universe but our weapons have been streamlined into generic archtypes for so long.
2:52 "It's the kind of weapon you can only find in a Bungie game. Doesn't exist outside of the Destiny universe" It's basically what the custodes have in 40k. (and, shield aside, kind of what Monte Carlo could have been)
I immediately think of Custodian blades when i see these. I'd love a kinetic one that would fire projectiles that have explosive damage, that you could hurl and pierce enemies with
The only problem I have with this is the comment of "It can only be found in the Destiny universe". The thing I immediately thought of when I saw these announced were Custodes Guardian Spears from Warhammer 40k. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they stole them or anything. In fact, seeing how much they resemble the main weapon of my favorite army in Warhammer made me more hyped for them. Just wanted to throw that out there.
I thought exactly the same thing. Got my Custodes cosplay all ready to go for my Titan, but Bungie are really out of touch if they think 'blade on stick that shoots stuff' is something they invented; a quick google search gives you results from loads of different IPs
And Warframe. A game that is compared to destiny alot and they've had glaives for a while..that also flow alot better than these lol. They look so clunky
They remind me of a RWBY or Monster Hunter weapon with the capability of it shooting, and the shield is very Elder Scrolls. The attack combos are definitely a Destiny thing though.
I know they said the glaive doesn’t exist outside D2 universe but… all I could think about when they first showed a melee weapon that can shoot was RWBY. That show took the concept of a gun blade and just turned it upside down and explored it hard! I love the design choices for the glaive and can’t wait to use it next week!
"...the importance of breaking whatever it is you're working on in order to make sure that it's functional and that we can ship it in a healthy way." Lol good one.
My guess is most people will use it initially to get access to weapon crafting then almost never use it again otherwise. There will always be a handful of Glaive purists out there but the majority won't use it exclusively.
No matter how hype when seeing this, I can't imagine to get close to the boss with this weapon. He will stomp me repeatly until the glaive and me becoming a pizza.
@@bannedmann4469 WHAT DO YOU MEAN BOSS DESIGN IS STILL WEAK!!? Savathun is the coolest looking boss Destiny 2 has ever seen! Her face is terrifying and elegant. Her body structure is strong and yet feminine at the same time. Her wings give her an angelic structure. Her abilities are unmatched and epic! Her backstory and her plot is awesome. Her voice is elegant, terrifying, and ancient. Her very presence looms over her realm, she can see you, where ever you are. And even worse, she knows you. All these things make her dark and scary, terrible and threatening. These points show she is not weak in design. She's not Eramis, who's just a reskinned Fallen captain, with all the same abilities as her followers, a non powerful voice, a weak plot, and a very normal air about her. Savathun is strong, with a cunning plot, and a terrifying presence in universe. She is anything but weak.
"Glaives don't exist outside the Destiny universe" Bruh... I thought you guys just copied glaives from Monster Hunter World and added a blast to it..... Ok Bungo.
Do they shoot and create energy shields? and besides its not their fault that they dont know Monster Hunter exists...and HOW can they copy something if they dont know about Monster Hunter???
There's shooting glaives in Warframe too. And a similar gun staff in a popular anime called RWBY. The only thing Bungie did was add a shield option to it. There's been many glaive guns in many games recently besides just these examples. These devs are gamers too. Do you really think they only play the game they made? Or don't look at competition to see what they can add to draw in people like you who are gullible enough to believe they made something unique?
All it needs is a Cabal ornament and then I'm set! Well, even without an ornament it still looks close enough to the Cabal spear! I'm loving this! Pair this up with my Heir Apparent and I got a little Loyalist to the Empire! >:)

This does put a smile on my face
🥴
This really just makes me think the best games come from devs in tune and communicating with gamers who respect and want the best for the game as well. So hyped for WQ hope Bungie keeps doing well.
Also, glaives are one of my favorite weapons since I started gaming its so sick.
That's not what the people in Steam discussion forums are saying!
Sure, but where are those devs?... who are you talking about?
Need more crazy weapons going forward like this, a whole arsenal of merged melee / range weapons. A pistol and shield, a scythe, claws / knuckles, crossbows along with craftable modular modifications and more, kind of sad how we live in this crazy universe but our weapons have been streamlined into generic archtypes for so long.
Man, now you’ve got me reminiscing about the Brute Shot and the Mauler.
Can’t wait to put 1000s of hours into the first person glaiver!
1:33 my new favorite line XD
This weapon gonna be a lot of fun
Yes yes yes!
Now that we have a weapon like this, I wonder if we'll be able to use Monte Carlo's blade?
Literally the one thing I'm most excited about
New glaive themed finisher right at the end! Super cool
I'm in love with this thing already! Super excited for this and the launch trailer we'll hopefully get tomorrow! Next Tuesday can't come soon enough!
2:52 "It's the kind of weapon you can only find in a Bungie game. Doesn't exist outside of the Destiny universe"
It's basically what the custodes have in 40k. (and, shield aside, kind of what Monte Carlo could have been)
I can't wait for witch queen I'm hyped
Who isn't bruv!?
@@theblazinghawk1310 destiny reddit lmao

@@spookwavevevo I mean of course they aren't, they're redditors lmao
I immediately think of Custodian blades when i see these. I'd love a kinetic one that would fire projectiles that have explosive damage, that you could hurl and pierce enemies with
YOOOOO
I was thinking this exact same thing holy shit
The only problem I have with this is the comment of "It can only be found in the Destiny universe". The thing I immediately thought of when I saw these announced were Custodes Guardian Spears from Warhammer 40k. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they stole them or anything. In fact, seeing how much they resemble the main weapon of my favorite army in Warhammer made me more hyped for them. Just wanted to throw that out there.
i can see the golden boy cosplay happening now with titans...if i dont see one person named "captain-general kitten" i will be sad
I thought exactly the same thing. Got my Custodes cosplay all ready to go for my Titan, but Bungie are really out of touch if they think 'blade on stick that shoots stuff' is something they invented; a quick google search gives you results from loads of different IPs
And Warframe. A game that is compared to destiny alot and they've had glaives for a while..that also flow alot better than these lol. They look so clunky
When you really think about it 40K and Destiny have a lot in common.
They remind me of a RWBY or Monster Hunter weapon with the capability of it shooting, and the shield is very Elder Scrolls. The attack combos are definitely a Destiny thing though.
So excited for this weapon!!!!
Can’t wait to use it!!
I know they said the glaive doesn’t exist outside D2 universe but… all I could think about when they first showed a melee weapon that can shoot was RWBY. That show took the concept of a gun blade and just turned it upside down and explored it hard! I love the design choices for the glaive and can’t wait to use it next week!
RIP Oum
The Glaive kind of reminds me of the Elemental Staffs from COD: BO2 zombies Origins.
Looking good! Keeep up the great work bungie! 💙
It's like a mix of bayonet and firelance together to make something so much beautiful
It is nice to see, how this thing was developed. More of these insights, I like seeing how stuff is made.
this is exactly like the umbrella in kingsman
I wonder how quickly this Glaive will be nerfed or perks removed. Only time will tell...
I wouldn’t worry tbh, they don’t seem like they’ll be overpowered pvp weapons.
“We don’t want it to come out halve baked”
I love that everyone seems to forget that the sword has a shield.
Let's not act like it's a good one
@@xXMemelord it's incredibly memey as a titan if you're running strongholds and passive guard artifact mod
Because who in their right mind *Outside of titan memes* uses the sword block
"...the importance of breaking whatever it is you're working on in order to make sure that it's functional and that we can ship it in a healthy way." Lol good one.
Glaive exists in Monster Hunter but the execution is unique
2:24 he got another glaive on his back. does that mean a stasis glaive too? it looks different as well
"you're not really play-testing if nobody is being an insufferable little trash goblin."
i just love this quote, all i wanted to say
Dude, my buddy with his Chaperone TwT
My guess is most people will use it initially to get access to weapon crafting then almost never use it again otherwise. There will always be a handful of Glaive purists out there but the majority won't use it exclusively.
No matter how hype when seeing this, I can't imagine to get close to the boss with this weapon. He will stomp me repeatly until the glaive and me becoming a pizza.
Hnmmmmmmmmmm I'm gonna see what happens anyway!
Yeah, boss design is still weak. Dont forget invulnerable phases.
You can build up the long range attack and the shield according to Chris is quite strong for PvE which would be helpful in high end PvE activities.
@@bannedmann4469 WHAT DO YOU MEAN BOSS DESIGN IS STILL WEAK!!? Savathun is the coolest looking boss Destiny 2 has ever seen!
Her face is terrifying and elegant.
Her body structure is strong and yet feminine at the same time.
Her wings give her an angelic structure.
Her abilities are unmatched and epic!
Her backstory and her plot is awesome.
Her voice is elegant, terrifying, and ancient.
Her very presence looms over her realm, she can see you, where ever you are. And even worse, she knows you.
All these things make her dark and scary, terrible and threatening.
These points show she is not weak in design.
She's not Eramis, who's just a reskinned Fallen captain, with all the same abilities as her followers, a non powerful voice, a weak plot, and a very normal air about her. Savathun is strong, with a cunning plot, and a terrifying presence in universe.
She is anything but weak.
@@IvoryTempestCandleOfStories I think they mean mechanical design, not art design. Not sure if anyone dislikes Bungie's art team.
Will the glave have a killtracker and a helmet mod to generate orbs with it?
"Glaives don't exist outside the Destiny universe"
Bruh... I thought you guys just copied glaives from Monster Hunter World and added a blast to it..... Ok Bungo.
Do they shoot and create energy shields?
and besides its not their fault that they dont know Monster Hunter exists...and HOW can they copy something if they dont know about Monster Hunter???
There's shooting glaives in Warframe too. And a similar gun staff in a popular anime called RWBY. The only thing Bungie did was add a shield option to it. There's been many glaive guns in many games recently besides just these examples. These devs are gamers too. Do you really think they only play the game they made? Or don't look at competition to see what they can add to draw in people like you who are gullible enough to believe they made something unique?
Minute 1:14 is the Darkness/Pyramid theme but with vocals 👀 willing to bet that's the raid boss theme.
With the Glaives I expect an exotic to be a one handed Glaive and a shield. Make it happen 👍
Double bladed glaive 😮
All it needs is a Cabal ornament and then I'm set! Well, even without an ornament it still looks close enough to the Cabal spear! I'm loving this! Pair this up with my Heir Apparent and I got a little Loyalist to the Empire! >:)
