On Dec. 4, Destiny 2's Black Armory will open its doors to players for the first time. The new Tower location is just one piece of a larger addition to the game, and the first since September's foundation-shaking Forsaken launched.

Central to Black Armory is the titular forge, or really, set of forges. The new Tower vendor ADA-1 will be your guide to exploring these new locations, all of which are built into existing Destiny 2 destinations. They're tied to a new three-player survival activity that gives Guardians an opportunity to craft gear from the new weapon pool.

Also coming with the launch of Black Armory is a new raid -- not a smaller raid lair, as was common among Destiny 2 expansions during its first year of release. The Black Armory raid, called Scourge of the Past, invites players to explore a rarely-visited, often-clamored-for destination in Destiny lore: the Last City. In typical raid fashion, expect to wait a bit before Scourge joins the rest of the Black Armory content.

Bungie's newly released extended look covers all the specifics. Check it out.
