A major Destiny patch dropped today, and with that comes lots of currently hidden information that will likely be part of upcoming DLC for the game.

You can read all of the official changes to the game in our post on the 1.0.3 patch here, but intrepid data miners at Reddit have also scoured the content to see what it reveals about upcoming additions to the game. And there's a lot of exciting new stuff, which Reddit user sgtfrankieboy breaks down to: "35 new Activities, 7 new Activity Types and around 230 new items"

From the Reddit post, the new exotic weapons and gear are going to be a major point of discussion:
