Actually the no time to explain in d2 is current. The d1 version was from the future. "Using his device again, Clovis scans the ground until the blinking light goes solid. He digs into the snow until he hits something. He pulls it up halfway—a rifle, shining like new, etched only with one word: Now." D2 version "A single word is etched onto the inside of the weapon's casing: 'Soon.'" D1 version Edit: Also the d2 version uses burst from the past when the perk is activated. This is evident by the noise the orb makes. It is the strangers rifle from d1y1.
