Do I need to pay-

[Bulgarian Bootyhole Sniffer]

Been playing the game a bit and reached guardian rank 6 but I realized to progress I need to buy all this stuff like nightfall pack- lightfall. Is there anyway around that or do i really gotta spend 60$ just to reach guardian rank 7

My recollection is that getting to Guardian Rank 7 requires completing the Lightfall Campaign, so ... yes, if you want Rank 7, you need to pay for Lightfall.

ALright cool thank you, wanted to see how far I could get as a F2P but once you reach 6 i guess everything else you need to pay for lmao

Pretty much everything beyond Guardian Rank 6 requires at least one (or another) piece of paid content.

dont forget you also need Duality Dungeon DLC to reach rank 8.

Eh cause all there really is to do is stuff like vanguard, Gambit, legend, and cruc. Everything else needs money

I mean, it is that way by design. The 'F2P' tag is basically for the demo of the game.

There are things like additional mods and load out slots that are unlocked by increasing guardian rank.

[EDIT] It was also announced in the new TWAB that rank will persist for 1 season. If rank is increased then it will go up, if not it will drop. The idea I believe is so you can't just sit on rank, if you want to be high rank then you need to be up to date with the latest content. Although it is good to note that the repeatable criteria [the blue ones] have a reduced threshold for achieving if you have done them already in previous seasons.

To be honest, I like the changes Bungie has said they are making. If I had one thing I would change it would be making the "End Game" requirements in ranks be something like "finish 'x' number of raids and 'x' number of dungeons" rather than the currant "you must finish this specific raid and this specific dungeon" to progress.... Also Bungie, seriously, why the f*** does doing a Master level Nightfall not also tick off the "Do a Legend Nightfall" requirement?? Gahhhh! lol

Destiny 2 is free to play technically, but in reality is not actually free to play, you need to buy the latest expansion to do any of the latest greatest content.
