Do you want extra in-game items and XP boosts in Destiny 2? Then you need to buy plenty of energy drinks.
Update: The codes can now be redeemed. Here you can find all the info about the Rockstar promotion.
Just a few days ago, leaks surfaced that Destiny 2 is planning a promotional deal with “Rockstar Energy Drink”. Activision has now officially announced this partnership and shares more details.
Bungie and Activision are partnering with Rockstar (energy drinks) and Pop-Tarts for Destiny 2 – these are ready-made products for the toaster. This promotional action means that manufacturers will release their products in stylish “Destiny 2” designs and you can enhance your “Destiny 2” experience with a purchase – with in-game items and XP boosts.
The codes on Rockstar cans are also available in Germany
Rockstar is launching the “Destiny 2” cans in the USA, Canada, the UK, and Germany. You can see their design in our title image.
The “premium cans” include codes that you can redeem on the Rockstar site (link opens a new page) starting September 1st. You will then receive in-game gear to equip your guardians. What this gear will look like is not yet known.
Additionally, you can enter sweepstakes with daily and weekly prizes using the codes. According to the can’s label, these include “Collector’s Editions” of Destiny 2 and “PS4 Pro” systems. The grand prize is one of the motorcycles in the Rockstar and Destiny 2 designs:
In different countries, only specific flavors of Rockstar energy drinks have the codes. In Germany, they are the “Original” and “Sugar-Free” flavors.
An similar energy drink promotional campaign took place nearly two years ago for “Destiny: The Taken King”. Back then, players could find certain codes on “Red Bull” cans sold by the retail chain 7-Eleven. This could start an exclusive “Red Bull Quest” with rewards at the end.
This campaign, however, led to frustration here in Germany: Because the promotional cans were not available in Germany. Instead, the whole action was quite chaotic because the codes were fairly easy to forge. Whether the Rockstar promotion for Destiny 2 will run better remains to be seen. At least German guardians can now participate.
US Guardians can eat Pop-Tarts to get XP boosts
Pop-Tarts is also releasing products in “Destiny 2” designs. The packaging features the three different guardian classes prominently and is said to be suitable for collection, according to Activision. By purchasing such a box, there are XP boosts for Destiny 2.
For German guardians, however, this is less interesting – the promotion only runs in the USA.
Destiny 2 will be released on September 6 for PS4 and Xbox One and on October 24 for PC.
