Overview

• The expansion, created with Lucasfilm Games, introduces the Lawless Frontier across Mars, Europa, and Venus with the Tharsis Outpost social hub and unlockable Renegade abilities for co-op contracts.
• Players will wield the Praxic Blade, a customizable lightsaber-like melee weapon, and a new Blaster energy pistol archetype with distinct mechanics.
• Portal scoring is being overhauled by sunsetting most featured-gear bonuses and allowing all Exotics to count where the feature remains, making legacy activities viable for Power progression again.
• Raid and dungeon drops will start at Tier 3, with a planned system to upgrade Legendary weapon tiers and an increase to Vault capacity, though exact upgrade currency and storage size are still to be detailed.
• Today’s Ash & Iron update is live with the Reclaim three-player activity and a refreshed Rewards Pass, an Epic version of The Desert Perpetual raid arrives Sept. 27, a new Exotic mission lands Oct. 7, and Bungie is pausing noncritical nerfs while planning phased buffs to original Supers.
