NEW Exotics, Arenas, “Quests”

This article may contain spoilers!

With the new patch that was recently announced, there’s tons of new items that have been added to Destiny’s database.

In this article you’ll find everything that’s brand new, along with some older stuff that’s been updated.

Keep in mind that all of this information is subject to change. The Dark Below releases on 12/9, so there’s a lot of time for Bungie to make changes/additions.
