Destiny 2 Curse of Osiris DLC owners will soon be able to play the game's first Raid Lair.

The Eater of Worlds Raid Lair has a December 8 release date and a 10am PST start time. This means UK fans will be able to start playing at 6pm GMT.

Bungie confirmed the news on Twitter, telling fans that the race for first place is on.

"Eater of Worlds, the Raid Lair for 'Curse of Osiris,' will open to Fireteams. The race for World First will be on. We will be watching. And so will the community."

Raid Lairs are shorter and more compact versions of Raids, which means you'll still need a Fireteam of six in order to take part.

The Raid Lair will be available on PS4, Xbox One and PC, and will be followed by another Raid Lair with the release of DLC 2.

It also features new enemy encounters and new locations, not to mention a brand new boss at the end.

Needless to say, fans can also expect new loot, items and armour to unlock.

Fans will be hoping that the Eater of Worlds Raid Lair launches alongside a new update for the Prometheus Lens Trace Rifle.

The Prometheus Lens Trace Rifle launched with a bug that has made it hugely overpowered.

Indeed, Crucible players are taking advantage of the weapon's range, accuracy and power.

This has led to a series of complaints on Reddit, where fans have questioned how Bungie didn't spot this in testing.

Bungie community manager Deej has addressed the issue on Twitter, telling followers that more will be revealed in this week's Bungie blog.

"Prometheus Lens shipped with a bug," the tweet reads. "We’ll address the issue and talk solutions in ‘This Week At Bungie’ on the blog."
