Get up to speed quickly with our introduction to Destiny 2's core systems, classes and game modes.
1. Easy to pick up, fun to master
Getting started is easy. The first few missions show you the ropes, from combat and navigating planets, to introducing your Vanguard class leaders. Before you know it, you’ll be fighting the scourge of the universe as humanity’s last line of defence.
2. Enjoy best-in-class gameplay
Honed by a dedicated development team supported by a passionately engaged community, Destiny 2 is one of the most refined shooting games available today. Tight combat mechanics and explosive abilities provide nuance and variety, so you can tackle each encounter however you like.
3. Experience an unmissable story
Destiny 2 has a rich and immersive narrative, skilfully delivered by the team at Bungie, with rich lore fleshing out an engaging saga alongside each unique campaign story.
4. Play your way with rich customisation options
For every Guardian class, you can express yourself with extensive customisation options across various weapon and armour sets. There is always new gear being added to the game and a rich collection of cosmetic items are available via the in-game store.
5. There's always something to do
Finished the campaign and thirsty for more? There’s always something to do, with raids, strikes, dungeons and a variety of PvP modes ready for you to jump in, conquer and walk away with the best loot the game has to offer.
6. You don’t need to go alone…
Download the Destiny 2 Companion app on your phone and find other Guardians looking for people to play with. Some of the most challenging activities in the game are also the most gratifying to complete with a fireteam of friends.
7. Expand your universe
Expansions are epic story additions that can be played in any order and can be accessed as soon as you’re done with the tutorial missions. Your character is automatically levelled up to prepare you for each experience, so you won’t be underpowered.
Disciplined and proud, Titans are capable of both aggressive assaults and stalwart defences. Set your hammer ablaze, crack the sky with lightning and go toe-to-toe with any opponent. Your team will stand tall behind the strength of your shield.
Warlocks weaponise the mysteries of the universe to sustain themselves and destroy their foes. Rain devastation on the battlefield and clear hordes of enemies in the blink of an eye. Those who stand with you will know the true power of the Light.
Agile and daring, Hunters are quick on their feet and quicker on the draw. Fan the hammer of your golden gun, flow through enemies like the wind, or strike from the Darkness. Find the enemy, take aim and end the fight before it starts.
