News: Yet again there are some changes coming to Clans with Shadowkeep. Due to Cross Save (coming just ahead of Shadowkeep on August 21st), players can now only have 1 Clan per Account. If you have more questions about Cross Save, see here. Cross Save will work on Xbox One, PS4, Steam, and Google Stadia. PC players, you are moving from Battle.net to Steam. If you only own D2Y1 content (Base, Curse, Warmind) or less, you are probably better off just downloading Destiny 2: First Light on October 1st, as it will include all D2Y1 content. For those owning Forsaken and/or Y2 Pass (which now comes with Forsaken Purchases), you will want to follow this procedure to move all of your stuff from Battle.net to Steam. Destiny 2: Shadowkeep released on October 1st (pushed back two weeks).
Clans have a Ranks by Season. Clans once again rank up by XP, 5k per character, per week. There are 6 Ranks per season, each one granting better and better rewards. You can also obtain 4 extra Powerful Rewards per week for taking part in a Clan if your Clan does a Raid/Nightfall/Gambit/Crucible together. All Activities require at least 50% of the players in that Activity to be in the Clan (Crucible/Gambit/Nightfall = 2, Raid = 3). After the conclusion of each Season, Clan Rank is reset.
Guided Games remains a feature (albeit one very infrequently used due to high volume of seekers vs guides and massive load times) and has the option of Activity Reconnect for 3 mins after a disconnect from a session. After this time, Guides can then pull in a new Seeker. Guided Games will also now allow Raid Checkpoints to finally move over to a normal Raid session. While these may not solve all of Guided Games problems, these have been 2 of the top complaints since launch. Hopefully as we get closer to Shadowkeep we hear more on this and other ways Bungie is hoping to help us play together.
Notes: Clans are limited to 100 player each, which is why we separate them based on timezones and platform. This is to congregate as many like-minded players together as possible. *With Cross Save active, join a Clan that represents your most frequently played Platform, as they will have the most players on that Platform. The clans listed on this page are likely not going to be actively recruiting people (don't just list your platform ID, that's not going to get you anywhere). It is your job to request to join them from their Bungie.net profile. Clans that are listed as Open is what you are looking for because you can just hit the join button and you are in automatically, no approval necessary by Admins that may or may not be active.
Dates of Importance: Shadowkeep launch, Google Stadia Destiny 2 launch, PC's move to Steam, and the release of Destiny 2: First Light all happens on October 1st.
Giant Bomb Clans (* Indicates Clans Open With Available Room)
PS4
- Platform: PS4
- Leader: hestillives19
- Main Timezone: CST (any US timezone)
- Capacity: Full 100/100 (Open, players will be removed if they are inactive for two consecutive months and not playing current DLC)
This is the oldest Giant Bomb Clan that still exists (9/11/14). It was created at the launch of Destiny as Lincoln Force NA Central because there wasn't a Central US clan for Destiny. Pretty quickly after the launch of Destiny though, the official Lincoln Force series of Clans for Destiny died off due to inactivity. A lot of us that are still here are from the Central Timezone of the US, including myself and many of the other Admins. Our core group are veterans who have been playing together since the launch of vanilla Destiny. We have changed the name multiple times over the years, most recently to what it currently is. I do remove inactive players (players who haven't played the current DLC and haven't logged in for 2+ months) on about a monthly basis, so check back, and especially check Discord to find out when that happens. See current above requirements. Please only join the Clan with PSN accounts, otherwise you will be removed. If you are ever removed, the Clan should almost always be Open (outside of special circumstances), so you can just rejoin. Note: This is my only Clan now, though I will be playing PC some due to Cross Save.

Whether that be simple activities like Public Events, to more demanding activities like Raids. If you have no or little experience, you are still welcome and by all means ask to join a Raid. We're happy to guide you through it. If you have a lot of experience you'll also fit right in as we house some of the most no-lifers you'll ever meet.

This group and Clan was created so that our Xbox One players would have a place to group up together.

In the blackest of hours, Stein's Gate chooses a champion to protect the balance of the light and the dark; a single hero appearing in an aeon in times when the universe needs them most. They are chosen to bear the name 'Roy Hadouken' and they stand against the darkness, vanquish the enemies that threaten the world and drill through to the heavens. Alongside every incarnation of Roy are the staunchest, most loyal companions who help to combat evil. These noble warriors will prove themselves on the fields of battle as part of the greatest order of heroes the universe has ever known. They become legends in their own right.
We are those warriors. We are the boys of Roy.
We are Roy's Boys.
See you in the fight, Space Cowboy.
NOTE: The PC version of Destiny 2 has region locking features. The 3 regions are listed below. We highly recommend you set your Region upon loading Destiny 2 to the Region your Clan is based out of so that all Clanmates will be visible to you. Next to your Clan's Timezone you should see in parentheses what is very likely their Region.
- Americas for players in North America, Latin America, South America, Australia, and New Zealand.
- Europe for players in the European Union, Eastern Europe, Russia, Africa, and the Middle East.
- Asia for players in South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.
Note: The PC version of Destiny 2 has moved to Steam.
If anyone wants to create a Giant Bomb Clan, and have it listed with these and added to the Giant Bomb Clans' Mission Statement, just let me know with a PM and give a link to the Bungie.net page, and your Timezone. My only request is that you only do so if you know you plan on being active within our Community and actively Administering that Clan.
Giant Bomb Grouping Tools
Giant Bomb Destiny: Discord Server- This has grown dramatically since it's inception, we are now at 1,217 Members (8/6/18) with 150-250 users on pretty much all of the time. It has become an increasingly useful tool both as a chat device and for LFG purposes between Clans on both Consoles and PC. Voice Channels for PC players, whether you are in one of the GB PC Clans or not, are available for use. One big thing we have added is the ranking system. Each Clan listed above has a rank. You can read up how they work on the Clan Channel on Discord, but you will need to add that rank to yourself to access your Clan's Private Chat and Voice Channel. This Discord has also been linked on the Unofficial Giantbomb Discord Server as the Destiny Discord Server.
Steam Community Group For Destiny 2 - With the PC Move for Destiny 2 over to Steam, Exile created a Steam Community Group for us to utilize between Clans. Keep in mind you might (this is kind of the intention to a degree) receive Steam Friend Request from others if you join this group.
Giant Bomb Destiny LFG Group: 100.io - Now that 100.io has updated their site (not sure when they did this, but Private Groups are no longer capped at 100 like they were when I created the PS4, Xbox One, and PC groups. I think it will be beneficial to now just use one 100.io group for Raiding and LFG purposes for Destiny 2, players will just have to pay closer attention to the platform Sessions were created as. But hopefully this will get more of us together in one place rather than 3. 100.io is a great tool to schedule Raids in advance, so please use it, especially since it being Private means it will only ever be other Giant Bomb folks you are playing with.
Giant Bomb Destiny PS4 Community - @daltaaan has updated the existing PS4 community in conjunction with Destiny 2's launch. Last time I checked there is already a rather large group of players in that PS4 Community, it was just shy of 400 people. The PS4 Community is a great resource for players on PS4 as they can chat on the system with others and see what Parties players are in.
Giantbomb Destiny Xbox Club - LanceUppercut has created an Xbox Club for so that Clan members can see who is playing and can join up with each other. Just search for Giantbomb Destiny Clan under Find A Club. This should work similarly to our PS4 Community.
Community Tools/Sites
Bungie.net- More specifically I linked to the News section. This is where all Destiny updates and TWAB posts are made each Thursday for Bungie to talk directly to the community, which usually involves them saying a whole lot of nothing outside of the TWAB before a patch. But a lot of the posts and information that gets posted on this forum will come directly from Bungie here.
Destiny The Game Reddit- This is the largest community of Destiny players on the web. This is frequently one of the fastest places to find information about the current going on's in Destiny as any news from any source is quickly posted by someone. Just be aware, it's Reddit, so the toxic is high and frequent with this one.
Destiny Roundup- This is an amazing site that collects all of Bungie's employee comments from around Twitter, Reddit, and the Bungie Forums about updates and thought processes for future updates to Destiny.
Destiny Item Manager- Probably the best Item Manager for Destiny 1. They already work pretty well with the D2 API, as well as the D1 API at the same time. I've had very few issues with this and use it pretty much constantly. I honestly don't know what I would do without it, I guess waste tons of time flying in and out of a social space.
Destiny Tracker- Tracker has always been one of the best all around stat tracking sites. It's great to get an idea of where the Destiny population is at any given time, and it's great to track everything from your PvP to PvE stats. They have their own ranking system for each Game Type (that are tracked by Season), and also show stats like Flawless for PvP. It also shows your individual stats by Game Mode, which is really useful if you have a preferred Game Type and want to see how you stack up in it vs the others. For PvE, if you want to compare Raid stats to your team, you can do that as well, and see exactly who had the highest K/D, least deaths, etc. For D1 Stats try http://destinytracker.com/d1.
Destiny Trials Report- This was the ultimate Trials companion in Destiny 1 as it was a statisticians dream. It has always been less reliable than D1, but it's still a good tool for Trials players.
Time Wasted on Destiny- For those curious as to how many hours they've put into Destiny 1. Both the D2 and D1 API are linked to this website and work the majority of the time.
Raid Report- This is a cool new site that aggregates stats on all of your Raid completions. It now tracks all Leviathan, Eater of Worlds, and Spire of Stars completions. D1 stats are at https://d1.raid.report/.
D2 Checklist - This is one of the best sites to check if you've done something on a specific character that week (it can't tell a difference between Nightfall and Prestige Nightfall though). It tells you everything from your Clan XP % to how many Clan Milestones your Clan has completed, which Raids you completed (and lifetime on each character), your Rank with each faction and how close to the next rank up, and an Character Report on each of your characters including Level, Power Level, Stat distributions (with current Armor), and the exact last time that character was logged into. The site can also be used to track Clan Activity (which is what I use it the most for), by changing the url to /clan/(Clan ID number)(example). Then organize the roster by last played. Another useful tool is tracking your own personal Checklist for things like Sleeper Nodes/Fragments/Region Chests/Adventures/Lost Sectors/etc, as it tells you exactly which ones you are missing and where they are at.
Massive Breakdown Weapons Spreadsheet - From Mercules904 on Reddit, this spreadsheet is a hardcore PvP players dream. If you want to know the most efficient weapon to don for killing other players, this spreadsheet has you covered.
