Since the launch of Destiny 2, players have been hoping for a visual refresh and retroactive customization options for their Guardians. In 2024, Bungie has finally listened to the players’ demands. After 9 years of waiting, you will soon be able to customize your appearance, and even for free. But that’s not all.
That is about to change: Bungie has returned from its winter break and with the release of the first “This Week in Destiny” blog (TWiD) in 2024 has excited Destiny 2 players.
- After nearly a decade, Guardians can finally correct their worst character design mistakes.
- There is also good news regarding the currently limited Glimmer cap.
- At the same time, Bungie has released new Halloween armor for voting.
- Additionally, new content for the Season of Wish is on the way.
The future of Destiny 2 promises not only a refreshing beautification of the heroes but also a wealth of other exciting developments. MeinMMO shows you the upcoming quality-of-life improvements.
“Finally lightly tanned instead of sunburned”
Cosmetic sins will soon be a thing of the past: The best announcement from the TWiD was for some Guardians the option to soon customize their characters. So, for those who once made unfortunate decisions for a few battle scars, the scariest hairstyle in the universe, or the mouth and eye color reminiscent of a failed art project, you can breathe a sigh of relief. These things will soon no longer be permanent until the end of your Guardian days.
Because your cosmetic sins will soon be a thing of the past. Bungie is finally allowing after nearly 9 years to change the appearance of your Guardian at any time. And that without costs or restrictions, so you can feel comfortable in your virtual likeness.
The only downside: There will also be things that you cannot change.
- The new feature will soon be displayed when you start Destiny 2, when you hover over a character in the character selection screen.
- You can change your Guardian’s body, face, hair, and battle scars.
- You cannot customize whether you are a human, Exo, or Awoken. And the wish of some Guardians for Bungie to add beards for customization will likely not be fulfilled. This will not change in the future either.
What’s changing with Glimmer: In addition to this cosmetic update, Guardians will soon be able to earn more sparkling, small, blue, programmable matter in the form of Glimmer for their Guardian account.
- Your Guardian wallet will then hold 500,000 instead of 250,000 Glimmer.
- The Glimmer drops will not change. It will still drop from the usual sources and can be used as before.
The witches are coming!
What to expect in October 2024: The TWiD also provided a glimpse into the future events of Destiny 2. In October 2024, the “Festival of the Lost” will take place again in the DLC “The Final Form.” For this, Bungie presented two armor sets to the Guardians, which you can vote on now. The winning looks will be available for all during the Halloween event 2024 for Glimmer and Silver.
You can choose between the looks “Good Witches” and “Evil Witches.”
How can I participate in the voting? If you don’t want to leave the spooky Guardian look to others, then cast your vote. Voting ends on January 25, 2024, at 6 PM.
- You can either participate in the election directly through the voting link in the Bungie newsletter for your main character. This has already been sent to your email address registered with Bungie.net.
- Or you can use this direct link to vote, where you can specifically choose and vote for the class.
What’s coming in Season 23: Some Guardians have already completed the Season 23 story and the corresponding title. Officially, however, the Season of Wish lasts until June 2024. Therefore, Bungie has given a little preview of what’s next.
- Starting January 30, there will be new quests every week for six weeks in Riven’s Wishes, after which you can receive a prize of your choice from a reward pool.
- On the same day, the Triumph moments 2023 also begin, which will offer both in-game and physical Bungie rewards and thirty challenges to reward your achievements from the past year.
More is planned in the coming weeks and months, including free content under the name Destiny 2: Into the Light and a PvP map pack set to be released in May. Details about this will be announced by Bungie later. So further developments in Season 23 await you soon.
When will the new features go live? With the update 7.3.4, which will be released on January 30, the amount of Glimmer you can carry with you will initially be increased to 500,000.
Bungie did not provide an exact date for the release of the character customization. Only that it should go live with an update before the release of the DLC “The Final Form.”
The loot limit for the transmog system will then be reset with an update in March. This means you will be able to earn more than the currently 10 synthetic strands per character and season/edition for free before you have to invest real money.
What do you think about the possibility of finally customizing your Guardian’s appearance in Destiny 2 for free? And which cosmetic blunder would you perhaps undo first? Or are you already satisfied with your Guardian look? Feel free to tell us in the comments. Otherwise, it is already known that this old weapon will soon return: Destiny 2 is bringing back the machine gun that veterans rave about after 5 years
