New Season Content: Season 3 progression begins immediately. Complete seasonal objectives, progress through the manhunt, and earn exclusive Season 3 rewards.

Gear Meta Shift: With significant buffs to Concentrated Company and the Beacon Exotic, expect shifts in the meta for both PvE and PvP content.
