I pre-ordered Destiny 2 on the PlayStation Store, Xbox Store or Blizzard Shop. How do I receive Beta access?

If you pre-ordered directly on your PlayStation 4 or Xbox One you are already automatically enrolled in the Beta.

Quote from Bungie:

You will automatically receive beta access on the first-party store account that you pre-ordered with when the Beta launches.

I pre-ordered at a participating retailer and received a Destiny 2 Beta Redemption code. Where do I redeem my code?

Go to Bungie.net/redeem and follow the instructions on the page. You will be required to log in with a valid Bungie.net account, verify your accessible email address, and enter your Destiny 2 Beta redemption code. At a later date, you will be contacted via your verified email address when you can return to the Bungie.net site and retrieve your Destiny 2 Beta download code. Codes may only be redeemed once, and redemption cannot be transferred or recovered to another account.

When will I get the Beta code to redeem on my console?

See above. Bungie will send you an email at a later date, soonTM, to provide you that info.

Where do I redeem my PC beta code? Bungie.net only takes console accounts!!

Bungie.net has not yet implemented support for PC Players. As the PC beta comes closer (late August), a solution will arrive. Until then, all you can do is wait.

I have a question not listed here. What do I do?

  1. Check the Bungie FAQ
  2. Check the comments in this thread. If you don't find your question, make a new comment and ask it.

Happy Bungie Day

Happy Bungie Day, Guardians.

"Really, Bungie? You named a holiday after yourselves?"

No! Our community started this tradition. We swear! It was years ago now, but someone got the idea that the seventh day of the seventh month would be a good time to celebrate their favorite memories from playing our games. We have no idea where they got the idea to lean so hard into the number seven, but we threw our arms around the new ritual nonetheless.

Today is a party in your honor. You are the main characters in our world – the heroes who breathe life and bravery into our creations. Were you to ask people who work at Bungie, they would likely tell you that we don't make games. We build communities. The games are a fantastic means to the glorious end of people coming together to kill aliens and become friends.

You complete us. Let's celebrate! To throw a proper party, you need some crucial ingredients…


Decorations

Check out these wallpapers. We think they'd look nice on your favorite device.

Costumes

Bungie Day isn't necessarily a costume party, but you can't stop a Cosplayer if they want to be fabulous like that. Where there is a will, there is a way to create a personal suit of armor. We do, however, see requests for reference art.

Something nice to wear

What's that? You can't make your own clothes? Don't feel bad. Cosplayers are a very special breed. Thankfully, the Bungie Store has the rest of us covered. There is even a sale on!

Image Link


A place to gather

Bungie Day is really more of a virtual celebration. How 'bout we make this one a barn dance? The Destiny 2 Beta is just around the corner. We hope to see everyone there. If you didn't see the new details that broke yesterday, check them out.

Entertainment

This is where you come in. If you attend a party, you should always bring something. All we want from you are your memories. What has been your finest moment in Destiny? Take a moment to upload it to the Creations page.

Bungie Day Film Festival
Title: #BungieDayFilmFest (Your Title Here)
Description: I grant Bungie permission to use this content in a video of their creation to celebrate the Destiny community. I assert that this content is my own.

Show us what you got. We're planning a final multi-media hurrah before we all move on to Destiny 2. It will be unveiled at PAX West. If you tag your submission properly, you just might make the cut.


Party Favors

We didn't want you to leave our party empty handed. We have some codes down below that will secure you early access in the upcoming Beta for Destiny 2. If you were not fast enough to grab one of them, keep an eye on me today and all next week. I'll be giving out more on Bungie.net, Reddit, Twitter, and anywhere else Destiny players are found.

We hope this Bungie Day finds you well, and eager for new action. This is an exciting time to be a Guardian. Over the past three years, we've had the chance to redefine the Bungie Community through a new lens. It's been our supreme pleasure to get acquainted with you as a Hunter, a Titan, or a Warlock.

We're eager to do it all over again. Destiny 2 will change many things, but we know it won't change the fact that this community is home to amazing people. Let's assemble right here next year and take stock of some of the new faces who have joined our ranks.

Thank you for who you are. And, thank you for who you will be in the next phase of our journey together.

Happy Bungie Day.

<3 Cozmo

Happy Bungie Day! Who wants some codes???

Posted: 07 Jul 2017 12:17 PM PDT

As you may have already read here, I'm giving out some codes today in honor of a community created celebration every July 7th.

What are the codes for?

They will get you early access in the upcoming Destiny 2 Beta.

Where do I put them?

https://www.bungie.net/en/User/coderedemption

How do I get one? Make a post below with your favorite /r/DestinyTheGame memory. Could be anything from a nice conversation you had here, wishing /u/NorseFenrir a happy birthday, or that crazy day Xûr sold Gjallerhorn.

I'll be just handing out the codes at random, but it's nice to read some good stories from the past while I do it.

I asked the mods before posting here. I think they said it was ok, I wasn't really paying attention.

Anyways. Happy Bungie Day! And thanks again for being such a great community.

Happy Bungie Day Guardians!

I wonder if they will do anything to commemorate the day. But I'd like to say thank you for the games!

Edit: Happy Birthday /u/norsefenrir too!

Zavala and Ikora spotted at the Farm

Posted: 07 Jul 2017 09:55 AM PDT

In the Guided Games trailer from the DRE there is a shot in the Farm where a player is going to send a friend request to another player, however in the background you can clearly see Zavala and Ikora in the background. This will be from quite late in the campaign after both have been brought back to the farm. This also shows where they will be located when they return!

Destiny Clan Members Meets for the First Time at A Wedding

Earlier this week a clan member tied the not and a bunch of us met for the first time at the wedding. Members from Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana made the trip to Pennsylvania. It was a great time and really exciting to finally meet in person!

Destiny meets Dilbert

Posted: 07 Jul 2017 08:34 AM PDT

A year ago this coming Tuesday I realized that a mashup of Destiny themed Dilbert comics would be amusing so I've been making them for my clan. Hopefully you find them amusing as well.

Many of these contain inside jokes or references so I've tried to comment on a few for context.

EDIT: Whoa. Gold. I'm gonna have to make a Destinybert about that. Thank you random stranger!

[RubbleThought]Defender's evolution into Sentinel was caused by the VoG artifact teaching them that you can use a shield to punch.

Posted: 07 Jul 2017 11:48 AM PDT

Coupled with discovering the Sunbreaker class, which showed them it was possible to use your Light to punch far away.

Finally got them... Pressed, framed, sealed, and hung instantly...

Posted: 07 Jul 2017 08:43 AM PDT

My D2 posters finally arrived!!! Had them framed the same day as I couldn't stand the thought of them getting bent, torn, stained, or worn in any way. The quality is just fantastic and would definitely recommend them to anyone hesitant. Price paid definitely worth the quality.

Almost done now, just waiting for my shelf, a computer part, and a custom made item and my gaming room will be completed. More pictures to come in the following week or 2!!!

For Bungie Day, I'd like share why I think Destiny is less about "Becoming Legend" and more "Making Myths"

Posted: 07 Jul 2017 07:07 AM PDT

I had the chance to write an article that was essentially a retrospective about the Destiny experience and community, and since reddit is a large part of the community (and today's Bungie Day), I figured at least one person may appreciate the look back.

I got about 1000 some words explaining that Destiny is less "Become Legend" and more "Make Myths", if you're so inclined. Just happy to be part of this community.

Destiny 2 Artist Reference Portal

Posted: 07 Jul 2017 11:14 AM PDT

Source: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46035


Back in May we revealed Destiny 2 and everyone who walked onto the event floor were greeted by new full size suits of Armor. Ever since then, the talented artists in our community have been asking us to release reference material so they can get to work on creating their own Destiny 2 armor to show off at events.

Similar to the page we had for Destiny 1, this will be the page for all future Destiny 2 reference material. If you like to create weapons, armor, bookmark this page. We will continue to add to it.
