Look, we all love a bit of flair in Destiny 2. Showing off a rare emblem is half the fun, a little badge of honor that says, “Yeah, I was there. I did the thing.” And right now, there’s a shiny new emblem up for grabs that’s got Guardians talking: the Starboard Forward emblem.

With the launch of the new mobile game, Destiny Rising, Bungie is doing a little cross-promotion, and you, my friend, are the beneficiary. If you’re willing to dip your toes into a different version of the Destiny universe, you can walk away with some sweet loot for your main account. It’s a pretty slick-looking emblem, too, rocking a cool, celestial vibe that’s sure to turn heads in the Tower.

So, how do you get your hands on this exclusive piece of cosmic art? It’s not as complicated as a raid mechanic, but it does require a bit of a field trip.

Ready to add the Starboard Forward emblem to your collection? The path lies through Destiny Rising, the new mobile game from NetEase. You’ll need to download the game and complete a special, limited-time event called “Bear the Light.”

The event runs until September 26, so you have a little time, but don’t sleep on it! To conquer this challenge and claim your prize, you need to knock out three specific objectives within Destiny Rising:

  • Complete Chapter 1-1
  • Complete Chapter 2-1
  • Reach Team Level 21

The first two objectives are tied directly to the main story. Just follow the questline, and you’ll naturally progress through these chapters. It’s a pretty straightforward grind; you’re looking at about three to four hours of gameplay to get through Chapter 2-1.

Your “Team Level” is essentially your account level. You’ll level it up by completing quests, diving into Adventures, and exploring the Jiangshi Metro. Just play the game, and you’ll hit Level 21 before you know it. It’s a bit of a grind, but hey, what’s a Destiny player if not a professional grinder?

How to Redeem Your Emblem Code

Once you’ve ticked off all three objectives in the “Bear the Light” event, a pop-up will appear on your screen in Destiny Rising, presenting you with a unique, single-use code for your emblem. Guard this code like it’s your Ghost!

Got the code? Awesome. Here’s the final step to get that emblem onto your Destiny 2 account:

  1. Head over to the official Bungie Code Redemption page.
  2. Log in with your Bungie account (or your linked PlayStation, Xbox, or Steam account).
  3. Navigate to the Code Redemption tab if you aren’t there already.
  4. Carefully enter your unique code and hit redeem.

And that’s it! The next time you log into Destiny 2, the Starboard Forward emblem will be waiting for you. You can find it by navigating to Collections > Flair > Emblems. It’s usually tucked away in the General tab.

So, is it worth the effort? If you’re a collector or just love flexing a new look, absolutely. It’s a freebie that just costs a little bit of your time. Plus, you get to check out the new mobile game and see what all the fuss is about. See you starside, Guardian.
