In the MMO shooter Destiny, there is one of the Sparrows that some considered a Halloween gift, now available as a reward for buyers of a Season Pass. The S-30 Tumbler enables some stunts that haven’t been possible before, such as barrel rolls.
New items were introduced to the game for Halloween, which were found by data miners. There was a spooky mask and a new respawn animation. But four new Sparrows were also discovered in the databases, which are the hover bikes in Destiny. Unfortunately, they did not arrive for Halloween, they were just loaded into the databases with the patch but were not yet active.
As it turns out now, one of these Sparrows is intended as a kind of “loyalty” reward for players who purchased the “expansion” pass (which also came with the collector’s editions). The S-30 Tumbler (in English EV-30 Tumbler) arrives today by mail. It is orange-blue-flame-colored (as it is known, everything runs faster with rally stripes and flames), but you can see it better for yourself in this video:

Anyone who possesses such a pass, which grants access to the next two DLCs, can already look forward to a special Sparrow. Guardians who pilgrimage to Tess, a merchant in the Tower, can also purchase the S-30 Tumbler for other guardians on their account for 50 Glimmer.

It is still unclear whether guardians who purchase an expansion pass now will also receive this Sparrow. This is currently based on player statements and a statement from Bungie a few days ago that they want to “reward” players for their loyalty.
Update 19.11 10:15: Some players on reddit reported that they received the Sparrow after purchasing an expansion pass just now.
The Sparrow is not an ordinary Sparrow, but a legendary stunt-Sparrow. And several tricks are possible with it: The stabilizers can be deactivated and it has a small boost. With it, stunts like barrel rolls and other stuff are possible. Until now, the Timebreaker, which has a built-in self-destruct function, was mainly suitable for standing out. With the current S-30 Tumbler, other noticeable stunts are possible in Destiny; you don’t always have to blow yourself up.
