The time has finally come, Guardians. Crota’s End gets its hard mode on January 21 at approximately 10 a.m. Pacific / 1 p.m. Eastern.
The more aggressive version of the Crota’s End raid is set at level 33. What’s that you say? Your gear only gets you to level 32. Well, they call it “hard mode” for a reason.
Thankfully, the rewards are plentiful. You’ve likely started seeing special and heavy weapons drop throughout the raid. They are Swordbreaker (shotgun), Light of the Abyss (fusion rifle), Black Hammer (sniper rifle), Song of Ir Yut (machine gun), and Hunger of Crota (rocket launcher).
Hard mode will yield primary weapons, though. Here they are, straight from Bungie:
Additionally, you’ll be able to get the Crux of Crota to upgrade Eidolon’s Ally (in turn upgraded from Husk of the Pit) to Necrochasm, an exotic auto rifle. You’ll also be able to get a new ship called Bane of the Dark Gods and a shader called Glowhoo.
Bungie says that hard mode has some new wrinkles that might confound even the most stalwart of Crota’s End veterans. Good luck.

PN Opinion: Panic Nation gave Crota hell this past Tuesday when we ran the raid for the first time since the bug fixing patch was released. It was actually quite impressive that we managed to clear the entire raid in 42 minutes, quicker than our average time when cheesing through the end game content with cheats and exploits. I'm pretty excited to jump into hard raid and try to get the Fang of Ir Yut, it should make an excellent addition to my arsenal of Scout Rifles!
