What is the Destiny 2 Companion App?
Bungie defines the app as an "experience" tailored to smartphones, tablets, and computers. The app spans five categories:
- Explore. You'll visit the Explore page of the Destiny 2 Companion App each time you load the application. Here, you'll find news articles, blogs, patch notes, and a breakdown of upcoming in-game and community events.
- Clans. This slice of the app keeps track of your clan's (the team of friendly players to which you belong) activities. If you don't belong to a clan, you can search for groups here.
- Progress. How deep are you in Destiny 2's wide array of missions? What should you do next. The Progress section will tell you all that and more.
- Gear. Show off your characters, see what they're wearing, and get info on the weapons they're packing. You can tinker with your character by moving and equipping gear.
- Find a Fireteam. In need of fast friends for an in-game activity? Fireteams can be found in this section.
