The Dragon's Shadow (costs 23 Legendary Shards) is an exotic Hunter class chest armor that's constructed out of wraithmetal mail and "grants movement and weapon handling speed for a short time after dodging," which should come especially handy during PvP matches, considering Hunters do a fair amount of dodging in competitive.

Polygon notes that Destiny 2 players can no longer access certain end-game content without purchasing the Curse of Osiris DLC first (and presumably future DLC as well).

While they're still available to the general public, the Nightfall's Prestige variant, which previously required Power Level 300, now requires 330 gear, a leve...

No mention of making up for the lost rewards or the monetization aspect here of course and there's another layer to just how bad this really may be.

Things went sideways for Osiris when he became obsessed with solving the mysteries surrounding the nature of the Traveler, the Guardians, and the Traveler's enigmatic enemy, the Darkness. He was particularly interested in prophecies surrounding the arrival of Oryx — which came true, in The Taken King — and the secrets of the Prometheus Lens (costs 29 Legendary Shards) is an exotic Trace Rifle that's considered to be the strongest weapon in the game right now.
