Destiny’s DLC isn’t out yet, but here’s how you can get into yet another locked off area

By Will Fulton October 13, 2014

Another resourceful Guardian has finagled their way into a poorly-locked expansion area, this one earmarked for Destiny‘s upcoming December 2014 add-on content, The Dark Below.

The video above offers step-by-step showing how you too can have an early glimpse at “The Hypogeum Strike” on Mars. Like the recently discovered “Terminus,” entering the new area involves a series of precise jumps. Also like the previously-discovered DLC area, there is nothing really to do there yet other than look around. There aren’t even any dead ghosts to find yet.

These stealthy discoveries started after a recent glitch caused the game’s map to show all unvisited areas, including those that will be included in the two announced DLC expansions. Learning their general locations was enough to point nosy guardians in the right direction, and with through diligent snooping they have now been able to access two unseen areas.

If you've been a fan of the series since the beginning then you've had plenty of reasons to be excited with Destiny 2 recently. Starting with bringing back old zones to explore again, Bungie has also reintroduced some fan-favorite Exotic weapons back into the pool in the Beyond Light expansion. This came as a major surprise, with no mention or lead-up for players to prepare for the popular Hawkmoon Exotic hand cannon's return. Aside from Beyond Light, you will need to own the Season of the Hunt to start the specific questline you need to complete to earn this old exotic once again. But this is a long and complex quest that even experienced players might struggle with. This guide will show you exactly how to complete it so you can reunite with this classic gun.

How to get Destiny 2’s new Witherhoard exotic weapon, and its catalyst

Destiny 2 Witherhoard

With Destiny 2’s Season of Arrivals here, that means there’s more loot to collect. While the latest update won’t add too many new exotic weapons, the first new addition is already having a major impact on the game. Here’s how you can get Witherhoard, and its catalyst, right now.
Getting Witherhoard
Like Symmetry in Season of Dawn, Witherhoard is obtained through the new season pass. If you’ve already purchased it, that means you’ll get the gun at rank zero. Log in to the game and open up the Season tab in your director is all you need to do.

Those who don’t own the season pass will need to wait a little longer. The free tier offers Witherhoard as a reward at rank 35. You’ll need to do quite a bit of grinding if you want to get the weapon in a timely manner, so start running activities like Crucible to gain experience.
