Bungie Is Doling Out Free Legendary Gear To Some Destiny Players
If you have been away from the Tower for a little while, check your email. You might have a note from Bungie letting you know about a special gift waiting for you in Destiny.
The email managing editor Matt Bertz received isn’t just a notification about his shiny new legendary armor, though. It features some additional information about increasing your light level to push past 20. Bungie recommends playing Vanguard strike playlists to earn marks, which in turn allow you to purchase legendary gear.
If you’ve received one of these emails, log into Destiny and head to the postmaster to claim your gift and nudge past level 20. That might get you on the road to completing the Vault of Glass raid and ready for the first DLC drop on December 9.
Our Take
It took me forever to get a legendary drop that allowed me to get past level 20. That segment of the game is poorly designed and explained, and it seems like Bungie is recognizing it’s a bottleneck. This giveaway might lure some players back and get them on the right path to continue on toward the endgame.
