Amazon Prime members can claim a free pack of colorful Destiny 2 exotics

By Giovanni Colantonio August 21, 2020

A new batch of free Destiny 2 loot is available for Amazon Prime subscribers. This time, players can grab a pack of exotics that will give their guardian some flair.

To claim the Standoff Exotic Bundle, head over to Prime Gaming’s Destiny 2 page. If you have an Amazon Prime subscription, you’ll be able to click on the bundle and press Claim Now. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to link your Amazon account to your Destiny account.

Once claimed, log into Destiny 2 and head to the shipyard on The Tower. Amanda Holliday will give you a package containing four exotic items. You’ll need to make sure you’ve completed the game’s introductory mission before you can claim the bundle.

While the pack doesn’t include any weapons or pieces of armor, it does contain some colorful cosmetics. The Neox Helix is a particular standout, giving your ghost a flowery, neon face-lift. The Vespulaser Sparrow bears a resemblance to the popular Outbreak Prime weapon, while the Egbe-01X legendary ship comes with a slick green-and-yellow design.

The pack includes the new Standoff emote, which was previously available as part of the Forsaken DLC. Using it makes a guardian quick-draw their weapon like Clint Eastwood in a Western shootout.

The pack is part of Destiny and Amazon’s ongoing relationship, which gives Prime subscribers 10 different loot packs. Bungie and Amazon recently extended the rewards program for an additional four months.

While most of the bundles are no longer available, two more are still on the horizon. Players will need to remain Amazon Prime subscribers to pick that last pair up. Previous bundles included popular exotic weapons like SUROS Regime and Prometheus Lens, so more free weapons could be on the way.

The drops are available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia. The Standoff Exotic Bundle is available to claim until September 23.

In the meantime, Destiny 2’s extended Season of Arrivals is still going. Bungie’s looter-shooter is currently in the middle of its Moments of Triumph event, which gives players incentives for completing a variety of tasks. The upcoming Beyond Light expansion, which was originally set for a September release, will launch on November 10.

Destiny 2: Lightfall fails to deliver its Avengers: Infinity War moment

A titan wielding a grenade launcher in Destiny 2..

The comparison between Destiny 2: Lightfall and Avengers: Infinity War is immediate from the opening moments of Bungie's latest expansion. There is no more exposition to get through; the Witness, a mythical villain that represents the root of the Darkness that Guardians have fought against for close to a decade, is here, and the Traveler who has given our heroes the Light and their god-like abilities is under direct threat. The stakes couldn't be higher, but Lightfall doesn't live up to that moment.

I'm not drawing connections here that shouldn't be made -- the bombastic opening moments of Lightfall call back Infinity War's unrelenting momentum in its first act. The Traveler is under siege in Lightfall and Guardians are dismantled by a flick of the Witness' wrist, echoing the immediate slaughter brought by the hands of Thanos moments before he arrived on Earth. That feeling is the same; our antagonist is here, and there's nowhere else to run. In the final moments of the campaign, a member of my fireteam even exclaimed, "hey, that's a line from Infinity War."

Destiny 2: Where is Xur for the weekend of December 30

destinys weekend vendor xur extends stay psnxbox live hacks destiny

Seasoned Destiny 2 players know they can count on the elusive merchant Xur to make an appearance with special exotic items every Friday, but what's not so clear is where you'll be able to find him. Below, you'll find a map with a marker that indicates where Xur is, as well as a list of his wares.

Who is Xur?
If you're new to Destiny 2 and need a bit more information about how this works, you should know that Xur is a special vendor who sells exotic weapons and armor. Each week, he comes to the solar system with a slate of goods, including an exotic weapon and one piece of exotic armor for each character class. As of The Witch Queen, he now stocks legendary armor and weapons and sells additional exotic weapons with random rolls every week.
Where to find Xur (December 30 to January 2)
The trouble with Xur is finding him. We always know when Xur will show up -- at the 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET reset each Friday. The question is where Xur will be. Previously in Destiny 2, Xur’s location was marked on the map. He’s now unmarked and harder to find each weekend. Here’s where to go to track down Xur, the Agent of the Nine, as well as everything you need to know about what he’s offering this week.
