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.

No Caption Provided

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!

Destiny isn't as bad as online tr0lls make it out to be. Yes it lacks content but so does almost every online game that people tend to rave about most importantly, Titanfall. Once The Dark Below came out with new things to do and all the stuff planned for 2015 it's going to keep truckin' along. If you have a friend or two for a fire team then it's even better.


People online just hate everything for the sake of hating everything, half the time it's hard to believe people do any gaming at all with all the complaining and hating they go on about. You should be thanking Bungie for gifting us a Legendary item this week if you still play even infrequently.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> Monthly fees is a good point, but blizz must supply their own servers, and the game is/was worth the price with the amount of content given.

Destiny has it's own monthly fee when you factor the aggressive expansion plan. Really, what game releases with next to no content, then CHARGES you for a content expansion in three months?

The game is a complete waste of time, Of course playing it with friends is fun, but so is playing catch with a stick outside in the rain in 40 degree weather.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I'm not playing it with friends. I don't have Destiny friends and everyone in the game seems to keep to themselves, especially in hostile areas. I've done every mission alone so far. But the illusion that you're not alone in that world is good enough for now...meh. Call of Duty, Titanfall co-op is better so far.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> blue ones are rare, greens are uncommon ones you can get rid off unless you want to keep them in vault. for super low levels. but they dont give you much Glimmer but say your level like 12-19 and you level up a Rare(blue weapon) and its good. just save that one or two guns so when you make a new character you already have a good gun waiting for you lol or you can do what i did.. once you decide to make a new character i farmed blue engrams with my first character and put them the vault. and picked them up with new character to decode them.. get rare weapons and gear pretty easy that way. ( i even purple engrams so i can get legendary armor for new characters even tho those are hard to find lol)

Saying that I have a white that is supposed to turn purple when upgraded.

<< LINK REMOVED >> really? do you play on xbox or ps? missions don't have matchmaking but i did start my game with a couple of friends so i did some of them co-op and some by myself to get ahead. and on Hard because more experience. but make sure you pick up the bounties when you can btw the only fun Co-op is the Strikes and Nightfalls and Raids of course. hard to find anyone doing missions unless you run into some one your level.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I just started Destiny today. I'm having mild fun with it so far. It's a bit hollow and I bet I wouldn't play it if it wasn't online. I think the online thing is the only thing that's keeping it afloat. If it was single player-only and everything was exactly the same, it would probably be a complete failure. Same with Titanfall. That one, I enjoy a lot, but I can't give it too much praise, because it lacks single player content.

<< LINK REMOVED >>I think once Bungie allows us to purchase the rest of the full game it'll be a much more complete product. Unfortunately I worry that whatever planned expansions they had have now become Destiny 2, where they can start this whole milking process all over again.

It would also be nice if they could fix the annoying disconnect issues with the game, i got attacked by 3 caterpillars and a baboon yesterday while trying to level my titan.

Idk destiny gives me the Rpg competitiveness fix quite well. Til Bloodborne and Dark Souls 2 comes out again. Story apart it's much like any other shooter but with something to look forward too lol and you're not stuck doing just PVP. Which a lot of FPS gamers don't like doing I like how this game kinda forces you too. I know too many COD. BF peeps that don't even touch the campaign because they don't have to.
