The Skimmers is a new type of vehicle Destiny 2 which you can use in place of your trusty Sparrow. It’s essentially a hoverboard that lets you ride all over the galaxy. However, there is a catch: the first skimmer that Allstar vectoris exclusive to them Guardian Games 2024 Event taking place from March 5th to 26th. Luckily, there is a way to permanently unlock the Allstar Vector so you can keep floating for once The final form Expansion drops in June.

In this Destiny 2 In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock the exotic version of the Allstar Vector that you can use forever.

Before you can get the permanent exotic version of the Allstar Vector, you must first unlock the common version. To do this, fill in the “Best in class“Guardian Games Tutorial Quest. You can pick it up Eve In the tower, you’ll be asked to put on your special class item, do a short Guardian Games activity, and talk to some people.

Once you complete Best in Class, take up Eva’s new quest: “Come round.” Once you “Drop In” you will receive the Common version of the Allstar Vector Skimmer. The big difference between the Common Allstar Vector and the Exotic is that the Common warns him expires at the end of the Guardian Games.

Now that you have the non-exotic skimmer, the clock is ticking for you to complete Drop In and unlock the permanent version.

Once you get the “Drop In” quest from Eva, it’s time to get to work. This quest rewards the Exotic skimmer and it only has one step. However, keep in mind that the time you spend on this quest depends heavily on your skill level and your ability to play the game at certain times.

“Drop In” requires three goals to be completed, other than you You only need to fill out one of them to complete the quest. Here are your options:

• Earn 1,200 Medallion Points
• Reach top 10% in Nightfall Challenges
• Open 3 winning Focus Activity packs

However you complete Drop In, the skimmer will automatically appear in your inventory once completed. And that’s it. Once you get the Exotic, you have the Allstar Vector for life.

Medallion score

Let’s start with the simplest and longest one: Medallion Score. Receive 1,200 Medallion Score is time consuming in Guardian Games as you have to spend a lot of time earning medals and throwing them on the podium. Bronze medals are worth one point, silver medals are worth two points, gold medals are worth five points and platinum medals are worth 15 points.

If you earn a lot platinum Winning medals will get you through it pretty quickly, but if you’re a more casual player who mostly bags bronze and silver medals, it’ll be a bit of a hassle. But this is a guaranteed way for anyone to get the skimmer—as long as you’re willing to put in the time.

Top 10% Nightfall Score

The the fastest way Getting the Skimmer by far means finishing in the top 10% of Nightfall challenges. (I was able to unlock the Skimmer on my first Nightfall run of the week using this method.) To do this, however, you need two things: Endgame PvE abilities And Endgame PvE friends to complete your fireteam. If you have both, this is a very quick way to get the skimmer.

If you keep struggling with Nightfall and not getting the score you need, it might be best to try one of the other two methods. A quick tip for this game is that you can complete Nightfall as just before the weekly reset (Tuesdays at 12 p.m. ET), you’ll have a much better chance of getting a high score.

Open chests with focus activities

Finally there is something new Focus Activity Packs. Basically, every few hours a new Guardian Games playlist becomes the “focus activity” for two hours during the week and three hours on the weekend. When you participate in the Focus Activity, you will receive bonus chests ranging from Bronze to Gold depending on your performance. You can get these chests by simply spending time on the focused activity. So this is a great way to get the skimmer. However, you must be online at the right time to make this possible. So depending on your schedule, this may be difficult to achieve.

Are there other skimmers in Destiny 2?

Yes! Bungie started two skimmers on March 5th together with the Guardian Games 2024. However, only one of them (the Allstar Vector) is free. The other skimmer is exclusively in the Eververse Storeand it says this Winged wolf.

The Winged Wolf is part of a gear set called Gjallarheart Gear, based on the legendary Gjallarhorn rocket launcher. There is a new armor set for each of the three classes, each costing 1,500 silver. Then there is a Gjallarhorn-like ornament for the Thunderlord Exotic that costs 700 silver. And finally there is this Livingheart Equipment Pack, which costs 2,500 silver and seems to be the only way to get the winged wolf. In addition to the Eververse-exclusive Skimmer, it also includes a ghost, ship and shader, all based on Gjallarhorn.

Unfortunately, you can’t just buy 2,500 silver, you have to buy 3,000 silver instead. This will make you run $29.99 and there are 300 bonus silver, for a total of 3,300.

It is unclear how long this Gjallarhorn bundle will be available in the shop or whether the Winged Wolf will be available for purchase after the end of the Guardian Games 2024.
