Many players from Destiny 2 are outraged about how Bungie locks its season pass content behind gates after their time expires. Guardians wish for a way to retrieve older content. We show you a way to get your missed rewards.
What do the Guardians want? Many Guardians suffer from what is referred to as “FOMO“. This acronym stands for “Fear of Missing Out” and means the fear of missing something. For some members of the community, Destiny 2 seems to trigger such fear with its season model.
That’s why Guardians have long demanded a feature against FOMO. Maybe you are a freshly minted Guardian, who admires the old ornaments (skins for weapons and armor) from past seasons that your veteran buddies wear so proudly. Yet, the player is confronted with the truth that these cosmetics can never be obtained again.
This is unfortunate for some players, as it takes away their motivation and also puts pressure on them. Season passes are associated with the obligation to consider certain time frames of their existence.
Players discover a trick to access dusty content
First of all: You can only redeem content that you have already earned in the respective season pass. Unreached levels of the season pass can no longer be unlocked.
How does the trick work? A Guardian on reddit named “GoldenHawk07” has pointed out how you can access your unredeemed levels of long-forgotten seasons.
The player shows a link to a page where you can find versions of the old Bungie Companion App listed. So you select the file that corresponds to your past season, download it, and you can gain access to ancient seasons.
To do this, you need to follow these steps:
- You go to this website (via apkmirror.com)
- Download a version of the old Companion App
- Log in and finally gain access to your missed season items

How is that received? Guardians are excited on reddit and comment under the post:
Nice! I got Duality, Ticuu’s .Bow, the pistol, as well as the armors for my classes. Awesome!

Many Guardians simply wish that past seasons would remain a part of Destiny 2. Because some players might have only caught the Destiny 2 fever later and now regret not having retrieved their rewards. With the armor ornaments that were missed, they would at least have a small memento of that.
Can we expect such an official feature? It is possible, but nothing is officially known yet. It’s up to Bungie whether they will implement something like that. However, the community wishes for it.
Bungie has already provided a system whereby you can collect missed content. However, you can only collect items from the most recent past season that you missed. Older ones are not accessible and lost (for now).
It would be tragic if Bungie decided to offer the old ornaments in the form of bundles for sale in the Eververse. That would be semi-optimal, as many would decide to buy, but a large part of the community would still be outraged.
What do you think of this method? Do you have any missed items that you would like to retrieve? Let us know in the comments what you think of a feature against FOMO.
In contrast, the new Halo does it differently and receives a lot of praise for it: Players of Destiny 2 are jealous of the fair battle pass of Halo Infinite
