Destiny Companion App Now Lets You Access Your Vault Armor, Weapons, Resources From Anywhere
Destiny’s weekly update includes something players have been requesting for quite a while. The Destiny website and companion app have a brand new feature: you can now swap gear without visiting the Tower.
That means you don’t need to drop items in the Vault, log out, log back in with a different character, return to the Tower, and gear back up. Instead, you can move items into and out of the vault from anywhere, even combat situations.
Bungie is also making come changes to the Crucible. Inferno playlists (launching March 3) remove the radar, reduce scoring events to make winning more about kills and the primary objective, increase capture times to compensate for lack of radar, and reduced heavy ammunition.
Control is the first mode to get an Infernal variety. It will be available on these maps:
- The Anomaly
- Firebase Delphi
- Twilight Gap
- Rusted Lands
- Shores of Time
- Blind Watch
- Asylum
- The Burning Shrine
- The Cauldron
- Pantheon

Our Take
Last week’s update touched off one of the more interesting stories I’ve covered, starting with a video of a young boy that had his account deleted over Share Play. From there, it was a winding path to find out who owned the account and that he wasn’t the actual culprit.
As for this week’s update, the mobile vault features are a fantastic addition. I’m excited to try those out.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
