How to permanently unlock Destiny 2’s new hoverboard vehicle

Unlocking the Skimmer in Destiny 2

Destiny 2 introduces the Skimmer, a new vehicle type that replaces the Sparrow. The Allstar Vector Skimmer, exclusive to the Guardian Games 2024 event, is the first hoverboard-style vehicle in the game that allows players to traverse the galaxy. To permanently unlock the Exotic version of the Allstar Vector, follow the steps below.

Begin by completing the “Best in Class” tutorial quest for Guardian Games, obtained from Eva in the Tower. This quest requires you to wear a special class item, participate in a Guardian Games activity, and interact with various characters. Upon completion, pick up Eva’s quest “Drop In” to acquire the Common version of the Allstar Vector. Remember, the Common Skimmer expires at the end of Guardian Games.

Once you have the Common Skimmer, complete the “Drop In” quest to unlock the permanent Exotic version of the Allstar Vector.

Upon receiving the “Drop In” quest from Eva, you must complete three objectives (choose one) to obtain the Exotic Skimmer, which will be added to your inventory upon completion.

  • Earn 1,200 Medallion Score
  • Earn a top 10% score in Nightfall challenges
  • Open 3 Focus Activity winners packages

Once you finish the quest, you will have the Exotic Allstar Vector permanently.

Medallion Score

Obtaining 1,200 Medallion Score can be time-consuming in Guardian Games, as the score is based on the value of medals deposited into the podium. Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum medals have varying point values, with Platinum being the most valuable. The Medallion Score objective guarantees the Skimmer but requires dedication.

Top 10% Nightfall Score

For a faster acquisition of the Skimmer, aim for a top 10% score in Nightfall challenges. This method is efficient but demands strong PvE skills and a competent Fireteam. Timing your Nightfall run close to the weekly reset can increase your chances of achieving a high score.

Open Focus Activity Chests

Earn bonus chests by participating in Focus Activities at specific times during the week. The Focus Activity packages offer a relatively straightforward way to obtain the Skimmer, but availability depends on your schedule.

Skimmers in Destiny 2

Bungie released two Skimmers alongside Guardian Games 2024: the free Allstar Vector and the Eververse-exclusive Winged Wolf. The Winged Wolf is part of the Gjallarheart Gear set available in the Eververse store, featuring exclusive items related to the iconic Gjallarhorn rocket launcher. Players interested in this Eververse Skimmer must purchase the Gjallarheart Gear Bundle for 2,500 Silver, which includes additional in-game items.

For those considering the Winged Wolf, note that the Skimmer is only available through the Eververse store and requires the purchase of 3,000 Silver, costing $29.99. The availability of the Gjallarheart Gear Bundle and Winged Wolf post-Guardian Games remains unclear.
