Editing Weapons of Sorrow

The '''Weapons of Sorrow''' are a collection of infamous weapons that have been modified by [[Hive]] arcana and magic. They are associated with tragedy and destruction, as they seem to inevitably corrupt those who wield them and drive them to commit heinous acts of violence and cruelty. These banned weapons also have copies that reached [[Last City|City]] [[Guardians]] and their arsenals despite the [[Praxic Order]]'s best efforts to prevent it.<ref> '''Bungie (2019/3/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Drifter]] - [[Lore]]:[[Lore:The Warlock Aunor|The Warlock Aunor]], [[Lore:The Warlock Aunor#Message from Aunor II|Message from Aunor II]]''</ref>

There are only five confirmed Weapons of Sorrow: the [[Hand Cannon]] known as [[Thorn]],<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/9)''', ''[[Destiny]] - Item description: [[A Light in the Dark (Year 1)|A Light in the Dark]]''</ref> the [[Auto Rifle]] known as [[Necrochasm]]<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Inventory|Inventory]]/[[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons|Primary Weapons]], [[Grimoire:Inventory/Primary Weapons#Necrochasm|Necrochasm]]''</ref>, the [[Scout Rifle]] known as [[Touch of Malice]]<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]] - Item Description: [[Shadow of Silence Suit#Shadows Vest|Shadow's Vest]]''</ref> the [[Submachine Gun]] known as [[Osteo Striga]].<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/51319 '''Bungie.Net''': ''This Week At Bungie – 5/05/2022'']</ref> and the [[Praxic Blade#Variants|Praxic Blades]] known as the Blades of Sorrow.<ref>'''Bungie (2025/12/13)''', ''Destiny 2: [[Renegades]] - Weapon Description: [[Heirloom]]''</ref> Various other items bear some of the corrupted hallmarks of Weapons of Sorrow, but are not confirmed to be part of this class; these include the [[Warlock]] [[Gauntlets]] [[Necrotic Grip]], which were based on studies of the Thorn.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]] - Item Description: [[Necrotic Grip#Llore|Necrotic Grip]]''</ref>

The [[Hive]] [[Acolyte]] [[Enkaar, the Anointed]] is known to be a craftsman of one or more Weapons of Sorrow.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - [[The Draw#Step 6: A New Jagged Purpose|The Draw: Step 6]]''</ref> Enkaar himself wields a weapon referred to as "Proto-Thorn", which may or may not itself be a Weapon of Sorrow.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/12/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Forge]] - [[The Conversation]]''</ref>

==Trivia==
*The Weapons from the [[Crota's End]] [[Raid]] appear as human-made armaments infused with Hive chitin; whether these are Weapons of Sorrow is unclear.
**The weapons that also appear in the [[Crown of Sorrow (raid)|Crown of Sorrow]] [[Raid]] seem to be corrupted [[The Reef|Reef]] weapons infused with Hive runes. Whether these are Weapons of Sorrow is also unclear.
*[[Barrow-Dyad]] is supposedly a precursor to the Weapons of Sorrow.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/live/hMKjQaJdZvg?t=2559 '''YouTube''': ''Destiny 2: Heresy Act I Developer Livestream'']</ref>
