Bungie community manager David “DeeJ” Dague describes the many rewards you and your Guardian will reap during your adventures in the studio’s shared-world shooter, Destiny.

Dague says, “The more you defeat your enemies and complete your missions, you’re going to earn rewards that will let you upgrade your Guardian in every conceivable way.”

Earlier, investment lead Tyson Green explained that loot becomes an important aspect in Destiny’s end game adventures, likening it to Blizzard’s Diablo games. He said that it’s all about “moving onto the more horizontal growth – trying new abilities and builds and weapons, with the same element of growing more powerful as a character so I can do the harder activities that exist in the world.”
