No? Just like when DB and HoW came out, they came with PoE and Crota raid and what not. So if you dont get the expansions..then no, you dont get to play the new stuff, including playing with the new weapons and armor. But YES even if you dont get RoI expansions, you CAN get gally!!! Simply hope you get one from the exotic engram for a crappy light lvl haha! You get what you pay for, in this case, nothing. If you buy the expansions then you get the quest to get a better gally thats up to par with the game expansions.
