Bungie has something planned for the Destiny veterans when they return to Destiny 2 .
If you have been a Guardian since Year 1 of Destiny and/or have experienced great moments in this MMO shooter, you can look forward to some surprises in Destiny 2. Bungie is planning veteran rewards in the sequel.
At the end of June, the developers presented some of these rewards that you can proudly show off in Destiny 2: “I was there!” They consist of 7 emblems that you will receive at the launch of Destiny 2. You must have achieved triumph moments and milestones in lore books. These emblems for Destiny 2 are introduced in the link.
Now there is fresh information on how Bungie wants to honor returning Guardians.
More than just emblems
In a Q&A video from WIRED, Bungie’s Game Director Luke Smith talked about additional rewards for Destiny veterans. They are planning something. But they cannot talk about it yet. He does not want to spoil that either. You should find out for yourself when Destiny 2 releases on September 6. The emblems are just a preview of the veteran rewards.
To another question about whether returning players will have any advantages in Destiny 2, Smith replied: “You will enter the world a little differently than players who did not play Destiny 1.”
For that, you need to play Destiny 2 on the same platform as Destiny 1, according to Smith.
What this “different access” to Destiny 2 will look like is still unknown. Some speculate that there could be an additional cutscene. Or you might receive certain items to customize your character.
In summary: For Destiny veterans, there will be a surprise or two at the launch of Destiny 2.
If you now want to quickly dive into Destiny 1 to secure the rewards, unfortunately, you are much too late. The time for the emblems already expired on August 1, 2017:
