Pondered this for a while now but anyone actually know if those things will ‘ever’ show up in game?

I can still see the datamine for Fargate Opener, Mistreaver and the other weapons but you cant actually attain them.

The ones from beta? They lost them.

Im not joking either, that was from a dev response about the mistreaver stuff. I cant remember if they said they will be restored at some point, presumably when found

Well, they have basically said that the weapons were created for the betas as Randulf’s linked post quotes. So it is likely that only the few that revenants used by default on those betas were ever created… and then as was pointed out they lost them.

I guess it is also worthwhile to point out that even if they had found them there is little reason to push such an incomplete weapon set into the game… and considering them putting them on the gem store (which would likely be the easiest option for them, as well as the quickest way to get the set finished) is not an option, due to it being a very bad PR choice.

It might be that it is simply something waiting in the pipeline for appropriate content to exist that it can be hooked into (as obviously they were not designed to be part of HoT, sadly).

Mike Z, seeing as the quote is from him, also happens to be the person spearheading expac two development at this time. So it might be we will only hear about these weapons once they announce said expansion if they have made plans for them to come out with that expansion. Same applies to if they plan to throw them up with LS3, seeing as that is still not talked about publicly.
