In Destiny 2, Guardians fight against the strongest bosses, and to add style, fans come up with the absurdest names for their protagonists. Bungie understands how important your names are to you and has therefore activated a feature.
Which feature is meant? In the recently released 8.2.6.4 update of Destiny 2 (via bungie.net), Bungie fixed some bugs and even activated a feature. The ability to change the Bungie name. The Bungie name appears above your Guardian’s head and represents your name.
Those logging in for the first time, will be assigned the platform account name along with a random number, but many can also choose a new name once and change it in the settings.
If someone decided on a rather embarrassing name like “ZavalasBlueShotgun”, they had to live with it – until now. Bungie has randomly released a new token for a name change after the release of the new update, which every player can claim. Nevertheless, Bungie hopes that you behave.
Bungie hopes you behave
Why should players behave? Those who have been actively playing Destiny 2 for a while will know the countless account names of Guardians. From Mara Sov’s Onlyfans, Guardian69420, to Ada-1-USB-Port, everything is represented, causing either much laughter or head-shaking.
Guardians are known for coming up with the silliest names, and it’s only understandable that Bungie appeals to the Guardians’ reason so that they come up with suitable names for their Guardians instead of throwing around jokes that they cannot change anymore, because – yes, this token is again only once. Those who use this will have to live with their new name … at least for an indefinite time until Bungie is generous again.
Players are already thinking up the best alternatives: Those who check the Destiny 2 Subreddit will find that the fans have not lost their sense of humor; on the contrary, they are raising the bar with new names. The following can be heard:
- “Diddy, Kell of Oil” – 2Dopamine
- “It’s always the same 3 overused jokes. Try something new like: ‘I owe Xur 80,000 dollars’.” – spectre15
- “Caiatl’s Chosen Pogchamp” – MeekSwordsman
- “Marathon’s (Plagued)” – TraumaGirly
- “Red War (Time-Strayed)” – KnightOfFaraam
- “I’ve already seen someone with the name ‘Marathon’s Art (Looted)’.” – HappyHopping
So one quickly recognizes that the fans have not lost their sense of humor; they are even creative and come up with current names fitting to the recent escapades of Bungie regarding their new game “Marathon”.
Do tokens stack if I kept my old one? Many players have also wondered whether these tokens can stack if the previous one was not used.
The Reddit user ExoMonk clarifies that you lose the previous one when a new token is issued. You either only have one or no token at all. Will you change your name or would you rather admire the creations of the Guardians?
