Destiny 2 is about to enter its new era with Beyond Light, with Bungie revealing almost a complete overhaul to how the FPS will work moving forward.<\/p>\n
As a newcomer, or maybe a player that returns after a long absence, seeing every tidbit of information spread around might be a turnoff, so, in order to help those looking to get into Bungie’s looter shooter, we’ve put together all the information necessary to enjoy a first-time trip to Europa, new exotics, and all the content coming up with Destiny 2 Beyond Light.<\/p>\n
First thing’s first, Destiny 2’s latest expansion, Beyond Light, is set to be released this upcoming 10th November for Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Google Stadia.<\/p>\n A free upgrade for users that get an Xbox Series X or a PS5 will be available on 8th December, so keep your eye on that if you’re one of the people moving to next-gen hardware.<\/p>\n PlayStation<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Beginning on November 8 after 8 PM PST (0400 UTC), users can start pre-downloading Update 3.0.0.1 by:<\/span><\/p>\n In an effort to decrease server load, some PlayStation Plus users may be able to pre-download Update 3.0.0.1 starting on November 7 after 8 PM PST (0400 UTC).<\/span><\/p>\n Xbox<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Pre-load for Xbox will be available shortly after Destiny 2 is taken offline for expected maintenance at 7 PM PST (0300 UTC) on November 9. <\/span><\/p>\n PC<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Pre-load for PC will be available shortly after Destiny 2 is taken offline for expected maintenance at 7 PM PST (0300 UTC) on November 9. Update 3.0.0.1 should automatically be put in the Steam download queue once it is available to pre-load.<\/span><\/p>\n Below are the updated storage requirements for Beyond Light:<\/p>\n While the install size is much smaller, PS4 and PC users are required to have the current version of Destiny 2 installed on top of the pre-load file.<\/p>\n Bungie has mentioned that once Beyond Light goes live, the file size will become smaller on these platforms to line up with the rest.<\/p>\n There’s plenty of ways players can get ahold of Destiny 2’s Year 4 expansion. First off, the standard edition of Beyond Light will set you back $40, or the equivalent depending on your region. This price does not include the Season Pass for Season of the Hunt, the first one of Year 4, but more on that later.<\/span><\/p>\n There is also a Deluxe Edition of Beyond Light, priced at $70. These will give you the following perks:<\/span><\/p>\n For hardcore collector’s, there is a special edition that grants you all the benefits of the Deluxe Edition plus a statue of the Exo Stranger, the mysterious character that didn’t have time to explain why she didn’t have time to explain back in the original Destiny that’s finally making her return after six years.<\/span><\/p>\n This special statue will set you back $129.99, and you can get your hands on it via Bungie’s site<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n Oh, by the way, if you’re a Game Pass owner, you’ll get the expansion for free! (You’ll still have to pay for the Season Pass, though…)<\/span><\/p>\n We mentioned Season Pass a lot there, didn’t we? Well, now it’s time to look at… Season 12, or Season of the Hunt, will be available alongside the release of Beyond Light, featuring both premium and free tiers for players to grind. <\/span><\/p>\n The story of the Season follows Xivu Arath, the sister of the Hive god Oryx, and her quest to build a corrupt army using Hive Cryptolyths.<\/span><\/p>\n A cool thing Bungie has confirmed that will start with Season of the Hunt is that none of the activities or gear set to make their debut during this time will be removed at all during Year 4, leaving players the opportunity to jump at a later date and experience everything the game has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n Some interesting pointers that were revealed in the roadmap are:<\/span><\/p>\n Remember that if you only buy the standard edition of Beyond Light, you’ll have to fork out an extra $10 to get the Season Pass.<\/span><\/p>\n I see something at the bottom of the roadmap image caught your eye, and yes, Bungie already revealed all the exotics coming initially with the Beyond Light expansion, so let’s take a look at them.<\/span><\/p>\n Bungie has confirmed a total of 12 new exotics are coming to Destiny 2 with the initial release of Beyond Light.<\/p>\n For those that purchase the Season Pass, the No Time To Explain Exotic Pulse Rifle and its Catalyst will be available right from the get-go. However, if you don’t acquire it, you’ll have to wait until the Season ends to earn it.<\/p>\n Other Exotic weapons revealed include the Cloudstrike Sniper Rifle or The Lament sword. Here’s the full list down below:<\/p>\n Check out a more in-depth look at some of them as well as requirements for how to unlock them right here<\/a>!<\/p>\n New gear is not the only new thing that’s coming to Destiny 2, we have new subclasses!<\/p>\n
