For the first time in a decade, Bungie has introduced a new vehicle class forDestinyplayers, allowing Guardians to ditch their Sparrows and head into the unknown with a hoverboard. The brand-new Skimmer vehicle inDestiny 2is beyond perfect, and players can use these vehicles to grind on rails, fly, and commit to some pretty sick tricks. TheDestiny 2hoverboard is a joy, and luckily, everyone can get it for free,if they knowhow.
The Skimmers act a lot like the Cloud Striders’ skyboard, and these surfboard-like devices can now become a vital part of the arsenal of Guardians all over the Sol system thanks to their introduction in Guardian Games 2024. Whilst preparation for The Final Shape draws ever closer, why not head into the Traveler andfight the Witnessin style thanks to this radical sci-fi skateboard?
Complete Eva Levante’s Best In Class Quest
In order to start the process of getting the Skimmer, players need tohead to The Tower and visit Eva Levante, who is hosting theannual Guardian Games. When players first speak with Eva, they willreceive a Titan Mark / Warlock Bond / Hunter Cloakdepending on their class, and then they canobtain the Best In Class quest. This is a relatively straightforward quest, and players will simply need toequip the Class Itemthat they just acquired (which can be repurchased if dismantled), and thenpurchase any bounty card from Evaand head off tocomplete a Guardian Games playlist activity or Supremacymatch with said Class Item still equipped.
TheGuardian Games playlist activities can be found in the directory within The Tower, and completing either a Guardian Games Nightfall or a match of Supremacy will send players to the next step, which is to head back to The Tower and speak with Eva again.
Eva will gift players a Medallion Case, which is where they will store their Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond Medallions. After this, they need to deposit the Medallions they would have received for completing the Guardian Games activity with their Class Item equipped, over at the Podium behind Eva in the Tower Courtyard.
Once the Medallions have been deposited, head over to Zavala in the Tower and acquire theShoot to Score quest.
Then, speak with Lord Shaxx in the Tower and receive theVying For Supremacy quest.
After conversing with these two Titan leaders, head back to Eva Levante at the Tower, who will give playersa limited-time event version of the Allstar Vector Skimmer. Not to worry though, as she’ll also give players the Drop In quest, which will allow them to permanentlyunlock the Allstar Vector for use outside of Guardian Games 2024.
How To Keep The Skimmer
In order to keep the first Skimmer players unlocked, they will need topick up the Drop In quest from Eva Levante. Once this quest has been acquired, they need tofinish only one of the three objectives of this quest. The Drop In quest objectives are as follows:
Completing any one of these objectives will unlock the Allstar Vector, an Exotic Skimmer that will remain in players’ inventory forever as part of their vehicles. If players fail to complete these objectives before the end of Guardian Games 2024, then they will lose the chance to earn the free Skimmer inDestiny 2.
Alternatively, Purchase The Gjallarheart Gear Bundle
If players do not want to embark on Eva’s Guardian Games quest, or they just want tokeep a permanent Skimmernow without the grind, then they canhead to the Eververse store,Destiny 2’s in-game store page, andpurchase the Gjallarheart Gear Bundle. This bundle requires virtual currency, Silver, which is purchased with real money. Players will need tospend 2,500 Silver, which is the equivalent ofaround $30 (USD).
For purchasing the Gjallarheart Gear Bundle, players will receive a few items themed after the famous exotic rocket launcher, Gjallahorn, including:
If players did not complete the Guardian Games 2024 quest to obtain the Skimmer, then purchasing this bundle may be their only option, but there may be more Skimmers in the future, yet that remains to be seen. For now,players have until 09:59 AM PDT on May 13, 2025, to complete their Guardian Games missions to claim the Allstar Vector inDestiny 2.
How To Use The Skimmer
The Skimmer is a lot of fun and features a few notable changes from the Sparrows of old. Not only will players be able to stand on thisvehicle like a hoverboard, but its movement works vastly differently. Players do not need to expel energy when using the boost function or dodge rolls, and they can alsohitR2/Shift to take to the airandpress Circle/B/Ctrl to grind on the air. The grind function is absurdly fun and allows players to skip large gaps due to the fact that they can essentially fly now. Using air jumps and grinding on air will expel energy, so be sure to replenish by landing, or by summoning a new Skimmer before falling. Players have already been using this strategy to skip certain sections, like the Prophecy Dungeon’s Deadsea jumping puzzle.
