The Destiny franchise can be very overwhelming for a kinder-Guardian (community name for a new player). There are over 30 Exotic Weapons to collect, over 90 different pieces of Exotic armor and hundreds of cosmetics so knowing how and where to acquire them is essential. Hopefully with our help and the help of the fantastic developers behind these sites/apps you should have the best tools at hand for your journey.

Best Sites

Below you will find the best sites to help you conquer the game. These sites are the communities' "Go-To" for loadouts, trophy hunting, prepping for new seasons and getting your Fireteam together. I have been playing Destiny since the Alpha stages of the game and the below sites have become essential to me, I hope they can help you enjoy the game and all it has to offer.

Braytech

Braytech is a Destiny fan site that allows users to view and map checklists, track and view triumphs, inspect collectibles, and so much more. A big part of Destiny is "Seals", Seals are groups of Destiny 2 triumphs that once fully completed awards the player with a Title, that can be shown in-game under the player's name. Braytech allows you to easily track the triumphs you require to unlock those titles. Some triumphs require the collection of many items, with Braytech it makes it a breeze as you can tell at anytime which collectible you are missing.

Destiny Item Manager

Destiny Item Manager is a must for any Destiny player who needs to manage their loadouts and vaults on the fly. Forgot to grab your favorite hand cannon from the vault? Just click and drag it to your active character while flying into your activity. Equip it directly if you're in the tower or hanging out in orbit! Use DIM's powerful loadout optimizer to choose the stats and mods that you want and let DIM find the perfect set of items to get you there. DIM can even equip your mods for you when you create a loadout that specifies them! Many YouTubers create character builds and they use DIM to create and share their loadouts, it may be the most important site for any Guardian.

Destiny Recipes

Destiny Recipes is the best site to get yourself prepped for a new season. It has a fantastic PRE-SEASONAL CHECKLIST which will help you prep efficiently for the new season. It will advise what are the best bounties to store so you can turn them in at the start of the season for some quick xp. There is also a Materials & Resources checklist which advises what you currently have and how many you need to max out your inventory. There is also a TARGETED WEAPONS section that advises what weapons will be leaving and suggests weapons you should pick up.
