Find out what does and doesn’t carry over from the original destiny,<br />
from your beloved character to the weapons they carried<br />
If you’re the kind of person who gets<br />
really attached to a character you’ve<br />
created then you’re in luck as you’ll<br />
be able to carry your avatar over to<br />
the sequel. There is a caveat<br />
though—you can only carry it over if<br />
your character reached level 20 and<br />
completed the ‘Black Garden’<br />
mission. But while your appearance<br />
and race will carry over, your stats<br />
won’t—everyone will be starting<br />
over from scratch. Consider it a fresh<br />
start for your hero.<br />
All your hard-earned loot will also<br />
stay behind, presumably because it<br />
all got torched during the collapse of<br />
the Tower. All of those lovely rare<br />
weapons you worked so hard to<br />
afford from Xur, gone forever…<br />
unless you want to stick to playing<br />
Destiny 1 of course. Even the limited<br />
seasonal Halloween masks won’t<br />
make it over.<br />
It’s not all bad news though,<br />
Destiny 1 players will still have their<br />
accomplishments recognized with<br />
‘veteran honors’. No word yet on<br />
what that will entail, but a way to<br />
distinguish yourself from complete<br />
newbies in some form seems likely.<br />
yet so keep a pinch of salt handy,<br />
but Hunters were spotted with a<br />
spear-like weapon, while defensive<br />
Titans sported a Captain Americastyle<br />
shield and the Warlock wielded<br />
a sword with wings sprouted from<br />
its back. Looks like we’ll have more<br />
chances for melee beatdowns among<br />
all of that cabal shooting we’ll be<br />
doing between missions.<br />
We’ll also be travelling further afield<br />
than ever before, with access to new<br />
areas and planets to explore. One of<br />
Jupiter’s moons, Europa, Mercury, and<br />
Saturn have already been hinted at as<br />
explorable places in Grimoires found in<br />
game, so it’s a safe bet that Destiny 2<br />
will actually give up the chance to go<br />
there as well as to explore other areas<br />
on Earth itself.<br />
Don’t think you can hold all of your<br />
excitement in until September? Well<br />
you’re in luck, as there will also be a<br />
multiplayer beta test this summer,<br />
most likely just after E3. You can<br />
get some hands-on experience and<br />
practise in before taking on the Red<br />
Legion themselves later this year. n<br />
Destiny 2 will launch on 8 September<br />
with a beta test this summer. We’ll<br />
have more info in issue 153!<br />
RighT This guy<br />
is an all new<br />
enemy. not sure<br />
he’ll want to<br />
play fetch.<br />
boTToM RighT<br />
Destiny 2 will<br />
have more of a<br />
character focus<br />
so we’ll learn<br />
more about the<br />
vanguards.<br />
