Here’s the complete guide on how you can unlock the new New Land Beyond exotic sniper rifle in Destiny 2.
Destiny 2’s next major expansion, Edge of Fate, launches on July 15, 2025, which marks the beginning of the Year of Prophecy, a new annual content cycle previously known under the codename Frontiers. Edge of Fate was previously known as Codename Apollo, and will be followed by another expansion titled Renegades. (formerly Codename Behemoth)
This expansion features the storyline about the Nine and introduces a new destination called Kepler, a planetoid on the edge of Sol. As part of the pre-order bonus for Edge of Fate, Bungie is bringing back another fan-favorite exotic sniper rifle from Destiny 1.
Let’s go over how to get the New Land Beyond exotic and what makes it special.
How To Get New Land Beyond In Destiny 2
Getting your hands on the New Land Beyond is pretty straightforward, but there’s a catch: you need to pre-order Destiny 2 Year of Prophecy Ultimate Edition.
If you want this weapon as soon as it drops, you’ll need to get your pre-order secured before the expansion launches on July 15, 2025.

Destiny 2 New Land Beyond Exotic Catalyst
Right now, we don’t have any details on whether New Land Beyond will have an exotic catalyst or what it might add to the weapon. Considering this is a pre-order exotic, if there is a catalyst, it will likely become available when Edge of Fate launches in July 2025.
If any new information comes out, we’ll be sure to update this guide!
Speaking of exotics, Bungie recently added a brand-new exotic weapon to Destiny 2, Finality’s Auger, a Solar linear fusion rifle from the Sundered Doctrine dungeon. If you’re looking for another powerful weapon, here’s how to get it in the game.
