Unofficial video footage of Destiny 2 has surfaced. Among other things, a mysterious vendor can be seen. What is it all about?
Attention: The following text contains massive spoilers from video footage that has not been officially released. If you do not wish to learn such things, you should not continue reading.
Destiny 2 leak video shows gameplay – and a mysterious vendor
At the end of the leaked video from yesterday (We have already reported on the details), the Guardian enters a decaying ruin. At a destroyed window waits an NPC named Devrim Kay who seems to be some kind of representative of the European Dead Zone EDZ.
What stands out: Similar to Destiny 1, this NPC is both a faction member and a vendor. Instead of the legendary gear familiar from Destiny 1, this NPC only offers equipment of normal quality.
Whether this means that factions in later locations will offer rarer loot or if the quality changes after completing the main story is not yet known – but it leaves room for speculation.
Legendary loot when leveling up
In the following image, the Guardian has reached a level up with the faction and thus earned legendary loot. This is analogous to the level ups of the factions in Destiny 1.
The strength of the reward is indicated as 206. Whether this is based on the levels of the Guardians or the recommended strength of this part of the EDZ is also up for debate.
The reward for leveling up the faction is two legendary weapons for the power slot, presumably a shotgun and a rocket launcher.
Mysterious is the third reward – a Dead Zone bark – that is subtitled with shader. Usually, you only need one of these, but here there are two of these items as a reward. Are these weapon or armor shaders? One can be curious!
Also nice: The Glimmer cap has been raised. In the top right of the image, the Glimmer count is indicated as 50,720. Whether this will lead to hyperinflation in Destiny 2 or if Guardians are simply allowed to carry more reserves will be revealed at the latest in September.
The community has wished for NPCs and vendors spread all over the world, with whom they can interact, who give quests and loot, and with whom one can simply chat. This wish seems to have been granted by Bungie.

Interesting: Locked loadouts will not be possible in the raid. Why, you can find out here!
