The Heroic Mode for the Wrath of the Machine raid of the latest "Destiny" expansion pack called "Rise of Iron" will be unveiled on Oct. 18.

The more challenging phase of the new raid will feature the completion of an ongoing battle against Aksis and his minions. According to Bungie's community manager DeeJ, players still have time to complete the mission against Aksis and form their dream team before the tougher challenge comes out on Tuesday next week.

Upon completion of the battle against Aksis, players will be rewarded with loot that could reach up to 400 light levels. This means that players can have a better chance of reaching the game's latest level cap.

"The next leg of the race begins in a few weeks. Mark your calendars. Rally your allies. We know one Fireteam that is likely to try and redeem themselves with a title defense. When World First status hangs in the balance, the true final boss is the Fireteam that is one encounter ahead of you," DeeJ stated on the game studio's website.

He also revealed that the game studio will keep an eye on the first team to successfully complete the Heroic Mode of the Wrath of the Machine raid.

Also, the Bungie community manager revealed that the game studio recognizes several issues that players experience while playing the game.

According to DeeJ, the internal teams of Bungie are currently investigating several issues that are reported by the players. It includes the unavailability of the S-39 Lightrider Sparrow in the Crucible Reputation Packages, the incorrect rewarding of the Legendary Marks in the dismantled Dusty Iron Engrams, as well as the problems of reclaiming several "Rise of Iron" Crucible Emblems like the Solar Labor, Vigilant Disciple, the Iron Alight, and the New Wolf Pack from the Collection in the Tower.

Other issues are expected to be solved in the next update for the "Destiny: Rise of Iron" DLC.
