Destiny 2fans have been treated with highly anticipatedBeyond Lightnews lately. Alongside thenew Stasis subclass reveals, the latest weekly article by Bungie details how the rewards for the game’s core playlist activities will be changing with the new expansion.
Beyond Lightdoesn’t come out until November 10, but the studio has made it clear that it will steadily provide information about the upcoming expansion until its release.

Players can earn pieces of these armor sets by completing the said core playlist activities, or by ranking up their respective vendors.High stat rolls of the armorcan be earned by completing the weekly challenges, which are also getting an update. This change will give the more casual or solo fans a way to put together a high stat gear set.
It might not be groundbreaking news, but having a vendor refresh every year is what many in the player base have been asking for, and it seems like Bungie is committed to the idea. While it is a bit unfortunate that playlists won’t havewholly unique armor sets, the decals can allow for some personal expression. The other side of the coin is that fans who like the base armor set’s look can play whichever core activity they like to earn it.
Similarly, in season 12, players will be able toplay Strikes, Crucible, or Gambitto acquire the seasonal pursuit weapon. The gun will be the same, but players will be given the option to complete Gambit, Crucible, or Strike objectives to acquire it. This weapon will not be a pinnacle weapon with unique perks but will have a powerful static roll that features four traits players can choose from.
Like the new armor sets, fans will be able to earn activity-specific and themed ornaments for the base model of the pursuit weapon. Zavala will offer the Vanguard ornament’s quest, while Shaxx and Drifter will provide the Crucible and Gambit ornaments respectively.
Destiny 2: Beyond Lightis available on November 10 for PC, PS4, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. A PS5 version is also in development.
