'Destiny: The Taken King' DLC updates: SUROS Arsenal Pack pre-order details

Giving in to a leak, Bungie has decided to announce the SUROS Arsenal Pack earlier than planned. This add-on, which is set to be released on Sept. 15, gives "Destiny" players five additional weapons, namely a minimalist shader, a fire emblem, a pulse rifle, an auto rifle, and a scout rifle. 

Players can get their copy by pre-ordering a digital or a physical edition of "The Taken King" DLC. They can also get it by purchasing the Collector's Edition. The game studio adds that the pack will also be accessible to gamers overseas and to those who buy the $40 and $60 packs. 

The $40 purchase is the normal edition, which is available via download and has no additional freebies on top of the DLC. The $60 option is called the Legendary Edition, which includes a copy of "Destiny" and past DLCs — "House of Wolves" and "The Dark Below" — on top of "The Taken King." Buyers can have this via download or on disk. 

The third variant is the Digital Collector's Edition, which costs $80. Included here are the base game, the two previous expansions packs, "The Taken King," and nine in-game items — three shaders, three class-specific emotes, and three class items. It will only be obtainable through download. Players who only want the in-game additional gear can buy them for $20. 

Lastly, there's the "Destiny" Collector's Edition. It costs $80 and includes a steelbook case, a Modified Treasure Island book complete with artworks and notes from Cayde-6. A collection of pictures and cards as well as a Strange Coin replica are also included. 

"Destiny" gamers who have a level 30 character will be rewarded with the Founder's Fortune Pack upon their purchase of "The Taken King." This add-on holds a shader, a Sparrow vehicle, and an emblem.

"Destiny: The Taken King" will be released on Sept. 15.
