In Destiny 2, acquiring and utilizing your Sparrow—your personal vehicle for traversing the game’s expansive environments—requires a few steps. Below is a detailed overview of the process, including methods for acquisition, summoning, and available upgrades.

Acquisition of Sparrows

To obtain your first Sparrow, you need to:

1. Complete the Main Campaign: Finish the initial storyline missions of Destiny 2.
2. Reach Level 20: Ensure your character has reached the required level.

Once these criteria are met, head over to Amanda Holliday in the hangar of the Tower. She will grant you a free Sparrow, offering you a choice among three basic models.

Alternatively, if you wish to acquire a Sparrow earlier than this method allows:

– Purchase Bright Engrams: After reaching level 20, you can buy Bright Engrams from Tess Everis at the Farm. However, obtaining a Sparrow this way involves chance, as the bright engrams may randomly contain a Sparrow among other rewards. To maximize your chances, players often find themselves grinding for engram drops or using real money to purchase Silver, the game’s premium currency, to exchange for Bright Engrams.

Summoning Your Sparrow

To use your Sparrow, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to an Open Outdoor Area: Ensure you’re in an accessible zone for vehicle summoning.
2. Open Character Menu: Access your character’s inventory.
3. Select Vehicle Section: Choose the Sparrow slot.
4. Summon Your Sparrow: Press and hold the designated summon button, which is typically “X” on Xbox and “Square” on PlayStation.

Upgrading Sparrows

While most Sparrows lack traditional upgrade options similar to weapons and armor, there is an exception with the Exotic Sparrow “Gryphon.”

– Gryphon Sparrow: This special model not only offers a unique aesthetic but also introduces combat capabilities and customization opportunities. Bungie has suggested future possibilities for upgrades that can enhance aspects such as speed and combat efficiency, but specific details about these upgrades are still sparse.

Summary Table

| Acquisition Method | Details |
|——————————————–|————————————————–|
| Complete campaign + reach level 20 | Get a free Sparrow from Amanda Holliday |
| Bright Engrams (after level 20) | Chance to acquire Sparrows; purchasable via Silver |
| Exotic Sparrow “Gryphon” | Obtain through Heavy Metal Crucible mode; allows for upgrades and combat use |

Conclusion

In conclusion, while acquiring a Sparrow in Destiny 2 is relatively straightforward after reaching level 20, upgrading beyond the Gryphon model remains limited. As the game continues to evolve, keep an eye out for any updates that may introduce further customization options for Sparrows in general.
