As promised, Bungie has announced one of the new Exotics coming to Destiny through the upcoming Taken King expansion. Revealed today by Xûr on Instagram was the Empyrean Bellicose Titan helmet.
Here is the official description for the helmet: “This barely understood Golden Age technology once held aloft the floating gardens of Pomona Mons. Now, it’s stopping bullets.”
A quote from Xûr adds: “Titans: fly like the shadows with the Empyrean Bellicose. Aiming your weapons while in the air will hold you in place for a short time. Orbs collected when your Super is full will recharge your melee ability.”
Take a close-up look at the Empyrean Bellicose helmet through the image below.
