Destiny 2 has a new clan system. How can you create a clan, join a clan, and edit the clan banner? All information about clans.
In Destiny 2, clans are significantly more important than in Destiny 1. They not only show the affiliation with other Guardians but also have their own progression system with rewards and exclusive bonuses.
However, to benefit from these clan innovations, you must first be in a clan. We will show you what you need to know about clans.
Creating and joining clans – How to join a clan
To create a clan, go to the official Bungie website and log in with your Bungie account. In the top bar, you will find the tab “Clan.” There, you can create a clan, search for clans, and later manage your clan.
Note: All of this also works through the Destiny 2 companion app.
When founding a clan, you will need to make some decisions that you can later adjust in “Settings”:
- Clan Name
- Callsign
- Clan Motto
- About Us: This is what players will see when they connect with your clan. Write what makes your clan unique.
What else can I set?
In the general settings, you decide on the clan join options, the clan language, and the level for membership or for guided games. You also determine what rights you want to grant the administrators.
In the settings, you can also manage invitations, kick members, promote or demote, and block players. You decide who is in your clan. You invite new members by searching for the player and sending them an invitation to the clan.
Designing the clan banner
In Destiny 2, you finally have your own clan banner that you can customize. For this, go on Bungie.net to “My Clan” and then on the left side to “Settings”. Here you will see a field with “Edit Banner”.
- First, choose a banner emblem. Currently, there are 24 different emblems to choose from, and more may come in the future.
- Then choose the foreground color and the background color of the emblem.
- In “Banner Detail”, you will find several patterns that adorn the background of the banner.
- In “Detail Color”, choose the color of these background patterns.
- And for Banner Color, decide on the overall background of the banner – which is neither patterned nor emblazoned.
- Now click on update banner, and you will have a customized banner. If you select “Random,” you will receive a randomly assigned banner.
You can adjust the banner at any time.
Collecting clan banners from Hawthorne and clan seasons
Hawthorne is a new character in Destiny 2 who will be important for clans. Because there, you will receive an in-game clan banner that has unique perks.
These perks are unlocked together as a clan. As your clan reaches higher levels, new clan perks become active. These perks grant you, for example, more rewards during public events or more glimmer when looting engrams.
You can see your clan progress on the clan page on Bungie.net by going to the clan profile. There, you will see a bar with the clan level, which is reset every season. How long a season lasts is not known. Depending on your progress per season, there are rewards. You can read more about clan perks and seasons here.
By the way: You not only receive rewards when you reach a high clan level per season. Every member of a clan also receives rewards in the form of engrams when your clan masters endgame activities (like Nightfall strikes). You can then collect these rewards from Hawthorne.
Guardian Oath for Guided Games
In addition to clan level, there is another clan score – the “Guardian Oath Score”. When you play by the rules of the Guardian Oath in guided games, this score improves.
Before you can lead guided games, you must take this Guardian Oath. In summary: You should be friendly and helpful and guide the solo player through the activity. If you fail to do this, the score will drop, and you will be temporarily barred from guided games.
How this score can specifically rise and fall is not known.
When these guided games start, you can find out here. They will not be available immediately at launch.
Clan transfer – Transfer from Destiny 1 is no longer possible
The clan transfer from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2 has already been carried out. Now you can no longer make settings.
How the clan rewards will specifically look in the seasons is not known yet. However, there are supposed to be rewards like in the Super Bowl.
