Destiny 2's latest expansion, Curse of Osiris, has launched on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. In addition to adding some new single-player mission content and a higher level cap, the expansion has also added a ton of new weapon and armor choices. If you want to check out a wider-ranging list of all the new weapons we've been able to find so far, you can find that here, but in this list, we'll focus on the exotic equipment we've come across. Alongside the DLC, we also got update 1.1.0 for Destiny 2, which has introduced a number of buffs and nerfs, and more big tweaks are on the way for the game's December update. The next patch will add Masterworks weapons, which should give hardcore players in particular some much-needed variety. We'll have our initial impressions of the DLC going up tomorrow, but if you're already digging in, we also have the solution to one potential mystery: how to unlock the Heroic Public Event. We'll be spending more time on Mercury over the month to find out everything we can about The Curse of Osiris.
Titan Shoulders: Ophidian Aspect Perk: Cobra Totemic -- Weapons ready and reload very quickly. Melee range is extended.
Hand Cannon: Crimson
Titan Helm: Helm of Saint-14 Perk: Starless Night -- Your Ward of Dawn blinds enemies that enter it. Guarding with Sentinel Shield temporarily blinds nearby enemies.
Trace Rifle -- Prometheus Lens
Fusion Rifle: Telesto Perk: Fusion projectiles attach and detonate with a delayed Void blast.
Titan Guantlets: Aeon Safe Perk: Aeon Energy -- Summoning a barricade grants energy to nearby Aeon Cult allies. Other allies receive a fraction of the shared energy.
Scout Rifle: The Jade Rabbit Perk: The Fate of All Fools -- Chain body shots to gain bonus damage on your next precision shot and return ammo to the magazine.
Titan Helmet: Khepri's Horn Perk: Solar Rampart -- Solar damage kills recharge your Barricade, which unleashes a blast of Solar energy when summoned.
Titan Leg Armor: MK. 44 Stand Asides Perk: Seriously, Watch Out -- Grants an overshield when sprinting at full health with Seismic Strike, Hammer Strike, or Shield Bash equipped. Hits with these abilities recharge a portion of your melee energy.
Hunter Helmet: Graviton Forfeit Perk: Vanishing Shadow -- Increases the duration of any invisibility effects. Your melee recharges faster while you are invisible.
Warlock Gauntlets: Aeon Soul Perk: Aeon Energy -- Throwing grenades grants energy to nearby Aeon Cult allies. Other allies receive a fraction of the shared energy.
Grenade Launcher -- The Colony
Helmet -- The Stag

Destiny 2's first DLC expansion, Curse of Osiris, is now available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. It introduces a variety of new content; there are campaign missions and Strikes set on the new planet of Mercury, which is home to a new free roam area with its own Public Event and the unique Infinite Forest zone. There's also new Crucible content and a variety of other changes, but for many players, the big highlight is the new gear. There are a number of new weapons in Curse of Osiris. While it'll take some time to acquire them all, we've already gotten our hands on quite a few. In the gallery above, we've rounded up all the Legendary weapons we've seen at this point. You'll also find a new Exotic trace rifle--the weapon type Bungie added for Destiny 2. Before now, there was only a total of one (Coldheart) in the game; now we've got another. You can also check out all the new Faction gear and Eververse cosmetics. Curse of Osiris's release coincided with that of update 1.1.0, which made some major balance changes to the game. Numerous weapon types have been buffed or nerfed, and further tweaks to Destiny 2 are coming soon as part of another big December update. The next patch will add Masterworks weapons, which should give hardcore players in particular some much-needed variety.

Destiny 2's first expansion, Curse of Osiris, is now available and brings with it all sorts of new playable content on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. There's a new planet with story missions, Strikes, and a Public Event, Crucible maps, and more. But in addition to acquiring new Curse of Osiris weapons, Faction gear, and Exotics, there's also a variety of cosmetics to get your hands on.

In the gallery above, we've compiled a selection of Exotic gear you can now find in-game. There's plenty more than what you'll see here, including numerous Legendary items and other things that we just haven't seen yet. There are still more changes on the way to Destiny 2 in the near future. The aforementioned update 1.1.0 made some major balance changes to the game, but further revamps are coming soon as part of a second big December update. The next patch will add Masterworks weapons and new ways to acquire Faction armor and weapons.

Fantastic Armor Sets And Where To Find Them
The final DLC drop from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is out now. Titled The Champions' Ballad, it contains an assortment of new armor and headgear that offer new tactical and cosmetic benefits. Some are even inspired by characters that longtime franchise fans are likely to recognize, such as Ravio from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. To help you ease the headache of figuring out exactly where these items are, we've detailed each of their locations and have provided screenshots of where they are on the map. Like the game's first expansion pass DLC, it's possible to find each costume out in the world by following a series of quest hints provided by various Rumor Mill magazines scattered across the world. However, you can nab all the special DLC items without interacting with these helpful texts. If you're looking to take more of a hands-off approach, follow the details provided by the side-quest sections that open upon booting the game with the DLC installed. It's important to note that none of the new DLC armor can be upgraded at the Great Fairy Fountains. An unfortunate sacrifice in order to look as cool as you do with this stuff equipped. The Champions' Ballad DLC is the second and final part of Breath of the Wild's paid DLC. If you need even more Zelda guides, check out our recipe and cooking manual, our beginner's guide, or just our general list of everything you might want help figuring out. And of course you shouldn't miss our official review of Breath of the Wild.
Royal Guard Armor
If you ever felt like Link should look more regal, than the Royal Guard armor is the perfect fit for you. When equipped, this set decreases the amount of stamina used from a charge attack. Each individual piece provides you a base defense rating of four.
Royal Guard Armor Piece Locations
Royal Guard Cap: This piece is found in a chest in the room above the Hyrule Castle Sanctum. Approach from the castle rear for the easiest path up. Royal Guard Uniform: This piece is found in a chest in a small room near the Hyrule Castle Dining Hall. There should be a hallway in front that leads to a dead end, which you need to blast with a bomb. Royal Guard Boots: The boots are found in a chest in the Hyrule Castle Guards' Chamber, surrounded by two pesky Lizalfos.
Phantom Ganon Armor
Aside from looking incredibly menacing, the Phantom Ganon Armor provides you a stealth bonus. Each individual piece provides you a base defense rating of four. Hardcore fans are likely to recognize that the armor is inspired by Ganon's appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Phantom Ganon Armor Piece Locations
Phantom Ganon Skull: This piece is found in a chest at the base of the main, large waterfall leading up to Corta Lake, in the Faron region. Phantom Ganon Armor: This piece is hidden in a chest underneath the Sarjon Bridge, in the Faron region. Phantom Ganon Greaves: This piece of armor is found in a chest next to the broken statue in Ebara Forest on the northern side of the curve in the pathway, in the Faron region.
Ancient Horse Armor
This armor set is likely to trigger memories of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's horse armor, but don't be alarmed, this set is a whole lot cooler and more functional. Comprised of two pieces, each provides a special perk. The Ancient Bridle increases the number of spurs available to the horse it's equipped on, while the Ancient Saddle grants you the ability to summon your horse to your current location.
Ancient Horse Armor Piece Locations
Ancient Bridle: This piece is found in a chest at the peak of Satori Mountain, under the cherry-blossom tree. It's just like one of my Japanese animes. Ancient Saddle: This piece is found in a chest behind the Malanya Spring in the Lake region.
Island Lobster Shirt
Sometimes you're just too lazy to put on clothes. Inspired by the pajamas you wear in the beginning of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, the Island Lobster Shirt doesn't offer much defense, sporting a base defense rating of one. However, it does offer you an increased resistance to heat. That makes sense; after all, Wind Waker Link was always too hot wearing that hero's tunic in the middle of summer.
Island Lobster Shirt Location
The Island Lobster Shirt is found in a chest at the root of the Menoat River, which is south of the Lake Tower. You'll see the chest slightly upstream where it's at the bottom of the river. Use the Magnesis Rune to unearth it from its watery slumber.
Ravio's Hood
The hood of Ravio--the cowardly merchant's hood from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds--offers a base defense rating of two. It's not particularly useful, offering the odd benefit of increased speed while climbing sideways. But hey, at least it's a fun little nod to the recent Link to The Past successor.
Ravio's Hood Location
Oh Ravio, Ravio! Wherefore art thou Ravio's hood? This piece of headgear is found in a chest near the Spring of Courage, directly underneath the right hand of the stone dragon.
Zant's Helmet
If there's one thing that most gamers remember about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, it's the menacing oddball villain, Zant. His helmet contributed to his threatening countenance; though, when it was removed, we almost wished he'd kept it on. Luckily, this nifty piece of headgear can be found in Breath of the Wild. It sports a base defense rating of three, while offering the useful perk of making you unfreezable when it's equipped.
Zant's Helmet Location
Zant's Helmet is found in a chest north of Tobio's Hollow, on a small island with two dead trees at the west corner of the swamp.

Suit up!
One of the major highlights of the 2017 edition of The Game Awards was the new trailer of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Expansion Pass DLC 2: The Champions' Ballad.
