Destinations

Destinations are the various places which can be visited in Destiny 2.

Most of them consist of patrol zones, open-world areas containing activities, such as Patrols, Adventures and Public Events. Some Destinations are, or contain, social spaces — safe zones where players are unable to use their weapons and abilities. There are also special mission areas, which have to be launched separately from the map or a beacon in a patrol zone, and exist on their own maps, most of the time preventing players from meeting Guardians that are not a part of their fireteam. Each location contains several sub-areas, sectors. Lost Sectors found in patrol zones are a type of activity.

The Tower

The Tower is the main social space in Destiny, it is represented by the Traveler in the Director.

It has a larger player capacity and contains more vendors than any other location: Commander Zavala is in charge of strikes, Lord Shaxx handles the Crucible, The Drifter covers Gambit, Ada-1 runs Forge Ignitions, Suraya Hawthorne deals with Clan business, Tess Everis represents the Eververse, Banshee-44 is the gunsmith, Kadi 55-30 is the postmaster, Master Rahool is the cryptarch, Amanda Holliday is the shipwright, and the Vault allows players to store their equipment.

The Farm was a social space which used to function as a substitute of the Tower during the original Destiny 2 Campaign.
