Throughout the game's long lifespan, many players wonder if certain old exotic weapons could be brought back into Destiny 2. Considering the majority of weapons from the first Destiny have now returned, it can now be believed that it's only a matter of when and not if.
Destiny 2: All Rite of the Nine Rewards & How to Get Them
Rite of the Nine is essentially a prologue to Destiny 2's next expansion, but it is also an opportunity for players to get some great loot.
While some weapons are utterly reminiscent of their Destiny 1 counterparts, old weapons featured in Destiny 2 can sometimes get reworked to further enhance the experience. Weapons like
Khvostov 7G-0X got a heavy rework from their older counterparts, which ended up being for the benefit of the weapon and how effective it can be. The New Land Beyond exotic sniper rifle, previously named No Land Beyond, is similar in this regard.
How to Get New Land Beyond in Destiny 2
New Land Beyond is the newest exotic weapon to be added to Destiny 2. It is a sniper rifle present in the kinetic slot that is a reprisal and long-awaited return of the No Land Beyond from Destiny 1. It features similar aspects reminiscent of its older version and new perks to help it compete in Destiny 2's more robust sandbox.
At the time of writing, the only way to get the New Land Beyond is by pre-ordering the deluxe edition of the Destiny 2 Expansion Pass, currently priced at $99.99 USD. Upon pre-ordering this, you will gain instant access to the weapon and simply have to go to the kiosk in The Tower to the right of Master Rahool, the Cryptarch, which is the main hub for all pre-order rewards and bonuses. This is like how players could obtain weapons like
Quicksilver Storm prior to the release of its expansion.
Destiny 2: Explorer Mode for Dungeons, Explained
As part of Rites of the Nine, a new feature has been added to Destiny 2 called Explorer Mode and here is how it works.
You will also be rewarded with other bonuses, like three new sets of layered armor themed off of some of Star Wars' most iconic villains, along with a new emblem, emote, and ghost shell to go along with it. Upon claiming the weapon, it will drop at pinnacle power levels for your character.
If you do not want to drop the hundred dollars on the expansion pass right now, the New Land Beyond will be available for all players to earn once the Edge of Fate expansion releases on July 15. Reminiscent of other weapons that have been pre-order bonuses, the catalyst for this weapon will not be available to anyone until July 15 as well. The details of what it is and how it will change the weapon are still a mystery.
Destiny 2: New Land Beyond Stats
No Land Beyond was previously notorious for being a potent PVP sniper in Destiny 1. However, the New Land Beyond can be used as a potent DPS option in PVE. This is due to its new perks providing a steady increase in damage as the user inflicts consistent precision damage, along with its high-impact sniper nature. Here's a look at the weapon's perks and stats:
