Microtransactions
Type | Notes |
---|---|
Boost | Season Pass is a real money purchase which provides Bright Engrams and bonuses for unlocking other cosmetic rewards. Bungie removed their character level 750 boost item, but this is now included in the 'New Light' version of the game.[4] |
Cosmetic | Shaders, emotes, etc. are purchaseable using Silver. |
Currency | Silver currency is a real money purchase, and is used to unlock cosmetics. |
Free-to-grind | Season Pass gives bonuses for acquiring cosmetics, but can be acquired through grinding on the free tier. |
Infinite spend | Silver can be purchased with real money over and over again without a practical limit. New items to buy are added to the store constantly including cosmetics and battle passes.[5] |
- Destiny 2's Bright Engram loot boxes were purchaseable using currency Silver, but were removed from the store on March 10, 2020,[6] however they can still be earned as part of the Season Pass which is a real money purchase.
- Bungie received criticism for turning the cosmetic Shader from the original Destiny, into a single-use consumable. Shaders are a reward from the Bright Engram loot box or are earnable from in-game Engrams (standard loot).[7]
