5 Things To Do First In Destiny 2: The Witch Queen

gamespot.com:

There's a ton of new stuff to do right now in Destiny 2, thanks to the launch of both The Witch Queen expansion and the new seasonal content, Season of the Risen. There's so much, in fact, that it can be a little overwhelming--campaign missions, evidence board quests, weapon crafting, seasonal content, and a new zone to explore, just to name some of it. So how do you even begin to approach it? In time, you'll be able to get to everything, but we've assembled a list of suggestions on what to do early on to make the most of the opening hours with the new update and ensure you're maximizing your progress across the board.

As usual, season pass holders get a new, free Exotic weapon right at level 1 of the season pass. This time around, it's Grand Overture, which is basically a machine gun that fires missiles. While you'll probably want to claim that immediately and start messing around with it, it's also worth paying a trip to Banshee-44 at the Tower. He'll provide you with a new questline to get the Grand Overture catalyst. While the first step is reasonable enough (killing Cabal with the new gun, or any Power weapon, is basically all there is to it), the next requires you to play a ton of Nightfalls or Crucible/Gambit matches. As such, you want to reach that step as quickly as possible so that any forays you take into those modes are counted toward unlocking the catalyst.
