Destiny 2: How To Get Coldheart Exotic, Plus Other Limited Edition And Pre-order Bonus Items

You'll have to be a bit patient.

12 Comments

Destiny 2 is officially live. Whether you pre-ordered it or purchased the Deluxe edition, you may be wondering where your bonus items are once you log in. Most of these are not awarded immediately, and you'll actually have to play through a significant chunk of the game before getting them--sorry, no Exotic at Level 1 for you.

Bungie has outlined the exact process for obtaining these items, and in all but one case, you'll have to complete the campaign before doing so. Once you've finished the campaign, you'll then collect any items you qualify for from various sources, such as the Postmaster, Shaxx, or the Gunsmith. Below, you'll find Bungie's unlock process for each item.

Having to complete the campaign to obtain the benefits of your pre-order is absolute bullshit. For many, by that time it will no longer matter.

@ArchoNils2: There are 75 other gaming websites. Find one. The game was released 3 days ago. This is what most people want to read about. You can choose NOT to click.

@ArchoNils2: If you combine all of the together, they actually do.

Click and comments also add to the pool. So you are pretty much supporting what you dislike.

If you are going to buy it, you might as well pre-order it. You have to complete the game but you were going to do that anyway. Especially if you bought the regular edition. Since they didn't charge you any more. I guess I would be pissed if I got the top of the line edition. I'd want something for the extra money I paid.
