Destiny 2

Frequently asked questions

• What is Destiny 2, and how does it differ from its predecessor, Destiny?

  

  Destiny 2 is the sequel to Destiny, building upon its foundation by offering a more comprehensive narrative, improved visuals, updated player vs. environment (PvE) and player vs. player (PvP) gameplay, and quality-of-life improvements. Destiny 2 features new storylines, worlds to explore, abilities, gear, and a more streamlined user interface. Players embark on epic quests, either solo or with a fire team, to acquire powerful weapons and armor, defeat challenging foes, and protect humanity from various threats.
• What is the class system?

  

  Destiny 2 features three main classes, each with unique abilities, subclasses, and playstyles: 1. Titans: Known for their resilience and protective barriers, Titans excel at close-quarters combat and can serve as a team's front line. 2. Hunters: Agile and cunning, Hunters can quickly maneuver around the battlefield and excel in dealing with precise, high-damage attacks. 3. Warlocks: Masters of the arcane, Warlocks use powerful elemental spells to support their team or deliver devastating damage from afar. Each class has several subclasses that allow further customization of abilities, allowing players to tailor their gameplay to their desired approach.
• How does the leveling and gear system work?

  

  In Destiny 2, players earn experience points (XP) by completing activities like missions, strikes, and crucible matches. Leveling up enables access to new areas, and activities and the ability to equip higher-level gear. Gear includes weapons and armor, which contribute to a player's Power Level – an aggregate measure of their combat effectiveness. Higher Power Level gear is typically acquired through challenging end-game activities, such as raids, Nightfall strikes, and competitive PvP.
• What are the different types of activities available?

  

  Destiny 2 offers a range of activities for players, including: 1. Story Missions: Narrative-driven quests that unfold the game's lore. 2. Strikes: Cooperative missions designed for three players, featuring tough enemies and bosses. 3. Raids: Complex, high-end missions requiring a team of six players to solve puzzles and defeat powerful bosses. 4. Crucible: The game's PvP mode, where players can compete in various match types. 5. Gambit: A unique mode combining PvE and PvP elements where teams race to defeat AI opponents and disrupt the opposing team. 6. Patrols: Open-world activities that include public events, adventures, and exploration opportunities.
• What is the importance of Clans?

  

  Clans in Destiny 2 are groups of players who can band together to earn exclusive rewards, experience a sense of community, and participate in clan-specific challenges. Being in a clan also facilitates finding fire teams for completing activities and sharing strategies and gear advice.
• Can you transfer your progress from Destiny to Destiny 2?

  

  While players' characters and appearances were transferable from Destiny to Destiny 2 for a period surrounding the game's release, progress, gear, and abilities were reset to ensure an even playing field and a fresh start for all players.
• Are there expansions available?

  

  Yes, Destiny 2 has had multiple expansions since its release, including "Curse of Osiris," "Warmind," "Forsaken," "Shadowkeep," "Beyond Light," "The Witch Queen," and "Lightfall." These expansions introduce new story campaigns, destinations, gear, raids, and more. They are a part of the game's evolving world and narrative.
