  • Traveler's Chosen
  • Hawkmoon (reprised)
  • Cloudstrike
  • Dead Man's Tale

Under Proctor's leadership, the weapon sandbox experienced substantial improvements, introducing new weapon archetypes and innovative perks that enhanced Guardian abilities and subclass synergies. His work has been instrumental in shaping the current state of Destiny 2's combat systems.

Proctor was a familiar face to the community, regularly appearing on developer livestreams to discuss weapons, perks, and balance changes for major updates including Episode Revenant, Act Two of Episode Echoes, and Into the Light.

While Proctor plans to announce his next role in approximately four weeks, his impact on Destiny 2's development and gameplay systems will continue to influence the game's future direction.
