Acquiring New Land Beyond in Destiny 2 requires a financial commitment, as this exotic sniper rifle is currently only available through a pre-order. Unlike past pre-order exotics, there is no free in-game option at this time, although players can anticipate future opportunities to obtain it without cost. Pre-ordering now grants immediate access to this coveted weapon.
During the recent Edge of Fate stream, Bungie unveiled not only this new bolt-action exotic but also teased the next four expansions for the game, one of which draws significant inspiration from the Star Wars universe. Among the enticing pre-order bonuses for the Ultimate Edition are skins for iconic characters such as Darth Vader, Kylo Ren, and General Grievous.
How to get New Land Beyond in Destiny 2
To secure New Land Beyond, players must pre-order the Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition for Destiny 2, the premium tier for the upcoming year of content. As seen with previous pre-order exotics like Quicksilver Storm for Lightfall and Tessellation for The Final Shape, the only current avenue to access this new exotic is through financial investment.
Fortunately, history suggests that players will eventually have the chance to acquire New Land Beyond for free in-game, likely by purchasing it from the Monument to Lost Lights exotic archive located in the Tower. This pattern followed the releases of Tesselation and Quicksilver Storm, so players should remain hopeful about obtaining the weapon without additional costs in the future.
In addition to New Land Beyond, those who opt for the Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition will gain access to all playable content for the year, which includes the Renegades expansion, battle passes, three Star Wars-themed outfits, an exotic sparrow, an emote, and an exotic catalyst and ornament, presumably for New Land Beyond as well. It’s essential to remember to collect New Land Beyond in-game after pre-ordering. Typically, pre-order bonuses can be retrieved from the Special Deliveries Terminal in the Tower, located to the right of gunsmith Banshee-44. However, players should note that New Land Beyond must be claimed from the Exotic Archive by the vault, specifically under the Edge of Fate exotics section, so checking both locations is advisable.
