NEEDS OF THE MANY

Clans were sorely undercooked in Destiny, and Bungie has certainly remedied that in the sequel. A new system tracks your activities and earns XP for your clan, which levels up and acquires new passive rewards – boosting currency earnings, for instance – for the entire crew. Best of all is a series of clanwide rewards when members complete high-level content; if one team goes flawless in Trials Of The Nine, clears the Nightfall, or conquers the raid, everyone gets a Power-boosting reward. Great stuff in theory, but it does mean that people who never set foot on the Leviathan may have got more out of it than our launch-week crew managed; after five evenings, we left with tails between legs, and the final boss still standing.
