If you wanna snag the New Land Beyond in Destiny 2, you gotta be ready to shell out some cash, my friends. No freebies here—at least not yet. Bungie has unveiled this new bolt-action exotic sniper rifle, but you’ll need to fork over some dough to get your hands on it right away.
In addition to this shiny new weapon, Bungie has also given us a sneak peek at the next four expansions coming to the game in the Edge of Fate stream. And get this, one of them is heavily inspired by Star Wars. I mean, who doesn’t love a good lightsaber battle, am I right?
If you’re willing to drop some serious coin, you can score the New Land Beyond by pre-ordering the Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition for Destiny 2. This is the top-tier purchase option for all the content coming in the next year. So, if you’re a hardcore fan, this might be worth it for you.
But don’t worry if you can’t swing the cash right now. Just like with previous expansions, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to snag the New Land Beyond for free in-game down the line. You’ll probably be able to pick it up from the Monument to Lost Lights exotic archive in the Tower, just like you could with other exotics in the past.
If you do decide to go all-in and grab the Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition, you’ll also get all the playable content for the year, including the Renegades expansion, battle passes, those sweet Star Wars skins, an exotic sparrow, an emote, and some other goodies. Plus, you’ll likely score an exotic catalyst and ornament for the New Land Beyond itself.
Don’t forget to claim your pre-order bonuses in-game after you’ve made your purchase. You’ll typically find them at the Special Deliveries Terminal in the Tower, but it looks like the New Land Beyond might be waiting for you in the Exotic Archive by your vault. Make sure to check both spots just to be safe.
Now, let’s talk about what makes the New Land Beyond so special. Its intrinsic trait, The Master, boosts damage with precision hits until you meet your demise. Plus, it massively increases your ammo reserves. Talk about a bang for your buck, right?
And the weapon perks? Horizon Ironsights beefs up your range and handling speed, while Accurized Rounds gives you even more range. Bullseye Bolster rewards you for landing precision hits by boosting your target acquisition, handling, reload speed, and stability. Snapshot Sights make aiming down sights a breeze, and Short Action Stock cranks up your handling speed.
So, there you have it—everything you need to know about scoring the New Land Beyond in Destiny 2. Keep an eye out for more updates and deals from the PC Gamer team. And hey, if you’re like me and still trying to finish that darn Horus Heresy campaign, maybe we’ll see each other out there in the wild. Happy hunting, Guardians!
