How do I get a Sparrow in Destiny 2? We will show you!
Every Guardian veteran must have wondered at least once after a few hours of gameplay in Destiny 2: “What is up with a Sparrow? Why am I walking all the time?”
In Destiny 1, it was a given that you traveled large distances with a Sparrow – a floating vehicle that could quickly take you from A to B. In Destiny 1, you got access to such a vehicle early in the campaign.
Destiny 2, on the other hand, is stingy with this means of transportation. You won’t get a Sparrow until you reach level 20 or successfully complete the story campaign.
Until then, you have to walk. Bungie ensures that you explore the worlds slowly before you race through them.
Note: The following contains massive story spoilers. Continue at your own risk.
Get / unlock Sparrow through the campaign
After the campaign, you will receive a guaranteed Sparrow.
A new social space will be unlocked, a new Tower. There you will find Amanda Holliday, who will give you a Sparrow for free as a thank you.
You can choose between these Sparrows:
- Wayfarer Zero
- Starchaser Zero
- Moonrider Zero
After that, you can purchase more Sparrows from Ms. Holliday.
Receive Sparrows at Character Level 20 – Glamour Engrams
If you haven’t completed the story campaign yet but are already level 20, there is a way to get Sparrows earlier.
From level 20, you can receive Glamour Engrams and purchase them from Tess Everis for real money. These Glamour Engrams may contain Sparrows. However, there is no guarantee.
If you really want to drive vehicles in Destiny 2 but still don’t have a Sparrow, keep an eye out for enemy vehicles. The Fallen, for example, sometimes come into battle with Mosquito Gliders. Take them from them and race through the open world.
By the way: You can customize your Sparrows with shaders. However, shaders are currently causing a lot of trouble in Destiny 2.
