no, and no. Raid gear will still be needed, if only for the Shards, to get to 32. weapons won't have a damage increase, the new raid is meant to be a real challenge, so they will make you use regular weapons.

I'm guessing by "challenging" you mean that they're going to just make every enemy a bullet sponge.

well, I'm simply going off of Bungie's previous work here. only time will tell if this Raid is actually hard or not.

What about new exotics are they goin to be 32?

no, because what if you're a level 23 and your friend ropes you into the raid? no, all Exotics are scaled to level 20. that won't change.
