In Destiny 2 clan banners have strong perks. Additionally, there will be clan seasons with rewards.
Clans in Destiny 2 are significantly more important than they were in Destiny 1. Now they not only show the affiliation with other guardians but also serve as an “in-game feature” – with a unique progression system and exclusive rewards.
There is now new information regarding this “progression system” obtained from fresh gameplay material. It has already been known that your guardians can be equipped with a clan item, as this free slot was already displayed in the console beta:
Now there is one of these items to see for the first time. Here you receive a clan banner from Hawthorne. This screenshot contains exciting information:
Perks that you must unlock as a clan
Apparently, the clan banners grant you various perks. This clan banner has the following:
- Receive additional glimmer when you loot engrams
- More rewards in public events
- Better rewards when eliminating cabal enemies
- Increased chance for reputation tokens when completing nightfall strikes, raids, or the trials
- Increased chance to receive an engram when mastering playlist activities with a clan member
However, these perks are not active immediately. You must unlock them first.
The screenshot indicates that the banner gains strength as your clan proves its power. Furthermore, there is information: As your clan reaches higher levels, new clan perks will be unlocked – every season!
Clan seasons in Destiny 2
The existence of clan seasons is also shown by a look at the revamped Bungie.net page. Go to “My Clan,” where “Season 1” is already displayed.
What these clan seasons will specifically be is not officially known yet. However, it is expected that you will need to collect a certain number of points as a clan within certain time periods. The more points, the higher your clan level and the more perks and rewards will be unlocked.
On Bungie.net it states below “Season 1”:
Clans unlock character perks and rewards by reaching higher levels. The more active the clan, the higher the clan level.
Below is a bar that will reflect your clan progress. Presumably, this clan level will be reset after each season.
Interesting: There is also a second score – the “Guardian’s Oath Score”. When you play according to the rules of the Oath in the Guided Games, this score improves. In English, it’s called “Oathkeeper’s Score” – which means that you are supposed to genuinely help other guardians in Guided Games to lead them to victory. And not troll them.
How the clan rewards will look specifically is still unknown. However, there should be rewards similar to the Super Bowl. In the companion app, it states that you can earn “weekly clan engrams” for the entire clan. What else there is, remains to be seen.
