Black Armory will be made available to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC players on Dec. 4, bringing with it new exotic items and the ability for players to increase their power levels. Story-wise, the mini-expansion sees the titular Black Armory’s Ada-1 tasking players with reigniting four special weapon forges that were lost during the Golden Age.
As part of this quest line, players in groups of up to three can band together in the new Lost Forges activity in pursuit of one of Black Armory’s new weapons. Players will first need to collect a number of materials and then place them into the forge, which will trigger waves of enemy attacks.
If able to successfully fend off the enemies while the forge finishes its work, players will unlock a new weapon for themselves from the Black Armory. The Black Armory will also let players earn new mods for all Forsaken weapons and bring back heavy machine guns.
Finally, Black Armory adds Scourge of the Past – a raid set in abandoned sections of Earth’s Last City. While Lost Forges sound like it will be light on story, the Scourge of the Past is expected to expand Destiny’s lore by letting players explore areas of the Last City they’ve never seen before.

Black Armory is just one piece of Bungie’s expansive Destiny 2 roadmap, revealed back in August.
Earlier this month, Activision revealed that Destiny 2 isn’t performing as well as the publisher would like. However, its games-as-a-service model has helped Activision grow, even if not as much as it would have liked.
