When Destiny's first expansion pack came out last month, hardcore players were stunned. Not only did it ask them to upgrade their old exotic gear through a messy, convoluted process, it also rendered much of the loot they had acquired from the game's first raid, Vault of Glass, totally useless. Suddenly you could buy better armour at the damn vendor.

This week, hard mode launched for Destiny's Crota's End raid. Along with tougher enemies and lightly remixed battles, hard mode brought the opportunity to win a number of cool new guns. But the rarest of them, a rifle called Necrochasm, appears to be mysteriously missing in action.

The newest update to Destiny -- that introduces a hard mode to the Crota's End raid -- has only been out for about two hours at the time of this writing, but a team of players has already beaten it.

On Saturday, I started a brand new character in Destiny, a video game in which players travel through space fighting against impenetrable dialogue.

Destiny's new DLC is out today, and with it comes a brand new strike called The Will of Crota that also doubles as the weekly heroic. Of course, the game doesn't do a very good job of explaining how you can unlock and play that strike. That's what we're here for.

Well, that didn't take long. One group of Destiny players has already gotten through the toughest content in the new expansion pack, The Dark Below.

Are you a Destiny player who didn't buy today's new expansion pack, The Dark Below? Hope you don't plan on doing this week's heroic strike. Because you can't.

It's Thursday, which means it's time for a new Destiny leak. This time around, it's the cinematic intro for the upcoming 'The Dark Below' DLC, which Bungie will release on December 9.
