Game developer Bungie is bundling a lot of new goodies with pre-orders for the upcoming "The Taken King" expansion for "Destiny."

First off are the pieces of new content that will be available to everyone who chooses to pre-order "The Taken King" expansion. 

By pre-ordering the expansion, players will receive the Suros Arsenal Pack. As the name suggests, the pack comes from Suros, a new weapon foundry to be introduced in the expansion, according to Polygon. Players who get this pack will receive three new weapons — the PRR-11 auto rifle, the BNS-13 pulse rifle, and the WSC-17 scout rifle. Players will also get a new fire emblem and a minimalist shader from this pack.

Another pre-order bonus for "Destiny" players is the Vanguard Weapons Pack. This pack contains an auto rifle, a pulse rifle, and a sidearm, although specific names were not given.

Players who opt to not pre-order "The Taken King" expansion pack can still get these new items, but to do so, they will have to wait until Jan.1, 2016 when all of the aforementioned offerings become available to be earned through playing the game.

As for content that is no longer available to everyone, first off is the new Founder's Fortune Pack that is attainable only for "Destiny" players who are either over level 30 or have played both of the two previous expansions prior to "The Taken King," according to Gamespot. This new pack will give players a new emblem, a shader, and a new Sparrow vehicle.

There is also a set of new items that comes bundled with the collector's edition of "The Taken King" expansion, but players can actually buy these things separately. The collector's edition extras include three class-specific emotes, three class items, and three shaders. The extras may be purchased separately for $20.

"The Taken King" expansion pack for "Destiny" will be released on Sept. 15.
