In the MMO shooter Destiny , the “Refer a Friend” campaign has started, with rewards including emotes and much more, but you need to convince a friend to purchase the game.
Last week we already introduced it, and the “prizes” have already been mentioned. Now the campaign has started, which will culminate in the rewards of the “Story of Two Guardians”.
It’s all under “Referral Program“: You invite a friend via the promotion, who then purchases Destiny: The Taken King (you must be on the same platform), then you experience adventures together and earn rewards. Both players receive the “rewards”.
A downside: The promotion is only available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One; it does not run on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
These are the rewards from the Story of Two Guardians and how to get them
What exactly Guardians need to accomplish, we have already introduced in an article – at the moment it’s still unofficial, but that’s how it will likely go.
These are “relatively normal tasks” at the beginning: completing patrols, story missions, crucible matches. Later, when the new Guardian reaches level 40, the second round of tasks will come for the two friends: heroic story missions, heroic strikes, and completing the Nightfall strike.
The connected friends will receive more EXP together. As a reward, there’s a special Sparrow, two emotes that can probably be performed in duet, an emblem, a special shader, and even “elemental swords” (Edge of Infinity) are waiting for the dynamic duo.
What this is about with the swords is still unknown at the moment. They are supposed to be “exclusive” – we will surely find out soon.
Here’s the link to the campaign, remember that “the newly recruited friend” must be invited through this feature for it to work. Players can be invited who are considered “newcomers” and have played Destiny for the first time within the last 7 days.
Here’s the (truly charming) German trailer for the promotion. Through it, one can almost forget the coolly calculated and clear commercial intention behind the action … almost:
