Clans and Guided Games will be Introduced to Destiny 2
Yup. The game will finally have a clan system as well as a reward system will also be introduced to benefit everyone in the clan.
Guided Games is a system that they’re trying out that links both Solo Players and Players within Clans. Solo Players will be able to select the clan they can pair with for accomplishing certain Strikes, etc. while this also helps clans fill up empty slots in their group.
