Bungie's stuck to a legally distinct Destiny veneer, but Destiny 2 is officially 100% more Halo than it was before. There are some more goodies in the 30th anniversary pack, too, including the returning Destiny 1 hand cannon Eyasluna, the iconic Exotic rocket launcher Gjallarhorn – which has retained its trademark, tracking Wolfpack rounds – and a boatload of cosmetics. 

Gear aside, the headliners for the 30th anniversary pack are the new Grasp of Avarice dungeon, which is accessed via the original Cosmodrome loot cave, and the free six-player activity Dares of Eternity. Both of these will be playable starting today, so get ready to blast through the past in the name of all-new loot. 

The "biggest balance patch ever" is also going live today, so expect your Guardians to play quite differently from before.
