Pre-order bonuses divide the player base. However, these usually only represent cosmetic items without long-term value. For Destiny 2, that’s different. Bungie provides useful and presumably permanent items for pre-order customers.
Yesterday, a trailer appeared that, besides the already known weapon Coldheart, shows a Ghost that counts your kills. Yes, really:
The Ghost counts your already achieved kills in both PVE mode (bottom) and in multiplayer mode (top). Instead of the usual cosmetic items, this item serves a purpose and is likely to encourage even more players to pre-order Destiny 2.
Coldheart and Kill Tracker Ghost – How to Get the Pre-Order Bonus
Whether the Ghost can be infused to higher light levels is still unclear – but it would make sense, as you want to keep track of the numbers throughout the game and boast about them to your colleagues.
Saluting Pre-Orders
In addition to the exotic weapon Coldheart and this special Ghost, you will also receive a saluting emote. A must-have.
And Who Receives These Bonuses?
The site DualShockers reports that all d digital versions will receive all the bonuses presented here. Whether this also applies to the German version is not known. However, one can assume so.
For players who want to buy Destiny 2 physically (i.e., in stores as a box), the situation looks a bit different: The retailer GameStop is at least offering the Ghost as a pre-order bonus exclusively. That is the current status. Whether Amazon or other major retailers will get involved is currently unknown.
It is known that the weapon Coldheart can be obtained in Destiny 2 starting December 5, even without pre-ordering. How it looks with the other bonuses is still unclear.
Mein-MMO believes: The pre-order bonuses that Bungie gave us for Destiny 1 did not last long. The Suros weapon package was nice, but only useful up to a certain point in the game.
The pre-order bonuses for Destiny 2 look different. If the items can be upgraded to the highest light level, they can be used permanently. A clever move that will certainly encourage more interested players to pre-order the game.
