Last week, we received a release date for Destiny’s first DLC pack. The Dark Below arrives in December and brings new story, PvP, strike, and raid content. It also includes new gear (including exotics).
In its weekly update, Bungie community manager David Dague discussed the contents of the first pack. A few of the things we mentioned last week will drop with The Dark Below, but aren’t expressly tied to ownership of that content.
Regardless of whether you pony up for the $20 DLC pack (or $35 content pass that includes the first two drops), you’ll get access to new weapons and armor. You’ll also be able to pick up new bounties and slot them into one of the five additional spots.
You won’t be able to take on any of the new missions or join your DLC-owning friends on the new strike or raid. You will be able to gear up, even if you can’t raise your light level to 32 without a purchase.
For more on The Dark Below, check out the coverage from last week. The DLC arrives on December 9.

PN Opinion: At this moment, I'm pretty burned out on Destiny. In fact, a lot of us are. The thought of jumping in and doing anything besides the Vault of Glass at this point is nearly enough to put me to sleep. Seriously, if I have to do one more bounty I'm going to cry. However, I'm sure I'll be back into the swing of things by the time The Dark Below expansion arrives. The mention of us getting new bounties and slots for them is very exciting, though the 'gear up' part has me a little confused. Does it mean free players can earn the new gear but won't boost their light level when equipping it? If that's the case, do we still get the other benefits from the gear such as defense and strength?
