Destiny Players Getting "Legendary" Gift This Week, Bungie Says

"A small, but Legendary token of gratitude is being prepped for delivery later this week," Bungie says.

The holiday season may be over, but Bungie isn't finished giving out gifts just yet.

The developer has spoken out to say it is preparing a special gift for Destiny players, which will be delivered in-game sometime later this week. The developer made the tease on Twitter, labeling the surprise as something "small," but also "Legendary."

What could it be? Bungie isn't saying, but some fans are speculating on Reddit (via IGN) that the gift could take the form of a new Sparrow vehicle or a new Ghost Shell.

Thankfully, we won't have to wait much longer to find out, as the item--a late Christmas gift of sorts--should be available for players later this week.

What do you think/hope the Destiny item might be? Let us know in the comments below!

<< LINK REMOVED >> I doubt it. The fact that they removed tons of content from what was originally planned to be released to milk as DLC pretty much signifies we've already seen the best they can do.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I have a hard time believing that Bungie made those choices. But I can see Activision making them do that in a heartbeat. None of Bungie's past games were so panned for a lack of content or story. Activision should have let them do their thing. But this is the house of CoD known for milking franchises and shuttering developers.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> Well they made the choice to make a deal with the devil. Nothing good can ever come out of working with Activision and I'm sure they knew that. But the greed was probably bigger. The only thing that makes me wonder now is why Americans still vote for EA as the worst company each year.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> i always thought they were the same. Similar to Activision EA has been milking things that shouldnt be milked. destroying franchises with micro transactions and releasing games that arnt even close to complete. as much as i hate COD, at least the game worked. how is BF4? finally functional 4 months before Hardline is to be released....

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I can see Activision making these choices after seeing the finished product and saying "this is what we paid $500 million for?".


None of Bungie's previous games were panned for such a lack of imagination and creativity either...2 things among many that Destiny sorely lacks. I see no evidence Bungie still has the level of talent they had in their golden era of Halo.


Although Destiny is technically sound, for the most part, with smooth shooting mechanics, absolutely every other aspect of the game is half-assed at best.

The fact they capitalized legendary tells me its gonna be nothing more than a useless in game emblem that says "Legendary" or some sh*t.

My favorite weapon so far is the Hawkmoon, though its ps4 exclusive. Its a handgun that acts like a sniper, so amazing!

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> DB is good for Crotas missions, I wish I had a Gjallerhorn though. I still run with my Suros Regime once in a while since my Hawkmoon needs an upgrade from Xur, its awesome now, but it would be more awesome with attack power 331 as opposed to its current 293.

This is unacceptable. I hate this game even though I continue to play it on a near daily basis. I demand exotics and radiant and runed mats. I also require a new ship, and a character instantly boosted to 30.


/sarcasm


PS: Also all feature DLC and Expansions, free.

How about a way to take away the D-pad motions and use them to set up weapon loadouts and weapon swapping without having to open up the dumb menu and mousing over to what you need?

<< LINK REMOVED >>

they could use the touch pad.

Swipe up and down to change between main weapon and side arms

Swipe left or right to switch to special weapon.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> idk about swapping weapons because i can imagine swapping from a AR to Scout instead of reloading. and Special's you will lose ammo. but changing nades would be cool but then it resets the charge.. grr lol
