Here’s Everything That’s Free-to-Play in Destiny 2 After Lightfall

ign.com:

Since going free-to-play in 2019, Bungie has made many changes with what’s pro bono and what will require a real-world investment in Destiny 2. If you’re wondering exactly what is free and what’s paid, we made this nifty guide to help you navigate all that space magic.

First, let’s cover all the things you can do in Destiny 2 without paying. These are all the playlist activities, limited-time events, and stories you can partake in without ever running into Destiny’s paywall:

1. The “New Light” Questline and Guardian Rank Onboarding

As a newcomer, this content will be the first thing you’re forced to tackle before you can do anything else. This brief storyline will introduce you to the Destiny universe, teach you the basics of looting and shooting, and catch you up on the happenings so far, including a special cutscene to catch you up to speed all the way to Lightfall. After that, you’ll be given a series of goals via the “Journey” tab that will tell you what to do next, as part of Bungie’s new onboarding mechanic. Thankfully, it points you to free content long before you ever see an objective that would require you to buy something.

2. The Vanguard Strikes Playlist

As a free player, you won’t be allowed to access most strikes from the world maps, but all of them will appear (whether you own the content the strike comes from or not) in the Vanguard Strikes playlist. These activities are short stories taking place throughout Destiny’s storied history, and are one of the best ways to complete bounties and grab some easy loot.

3. Most Crucible Playlists

If you’re hoping to go head-to-head against your fellow Guardians, luckily almost all Crucible content is on the table. The Competitive 3v3 playlist, Team Quickplay’s 6v6
