Key Takeaways:

  • The Skimmer can be obtained by completing the Guardian Games or purchasing the Galahorn version from the Eververse store.
  • The Boost ability of the Skimmer now automatically regenerates, allowing for faster movement.
  • The Skimmer Trail’s appearance can be customized based on the subclass equipped.
  • Using the Skimmer’s air grind ability, players can effectively fly and cover large distances.

How to Obtain the Skimmer

To acquire the Skimmer, players need to complete the Guardian Games or purchase the Galahorn version from the Eververse store. TDT emphasizes the importance of completing the Guardian Games quest line for a longer-term version of the Skimmer. However, those who prefer a shortcut can opt for the Galahorn version.

The Regenerating Boost Ability

One significant change to the Skimmer is the regeneration of its Boost ability. Previously, Sparrows would not regenerate their boost once depleted. However, the Skimmer now automatically reloads its boost, allowing for continuous fast movement.

Customizing the Skimmer Trail

TDT highlights a small detail about the Skimmer Trail. Depending on the equipped subclass, the Skimmer Trail’s appearance will vary. Players can experiment with different looks, with TDT recommending the green and Ark subclasses for the best visual effects.

Flying with the Skimmer

One of the most exciting features of the Skimmer is its air grind ability, which effectively allows players to fly. By combining boosting and grinding in the air, players can cover large gaps and traverse difficult terrain. However, TDT advises players to be mindful of the Boost bar, as it slowly depletes during flight. Additionally, players can jump off the Skimmer from a certain height, summon a new one, and continue their journey, effectively extending the flying distance.

These are just a few of the many details covered in TDT’s video about the Skimmer in Destiny 2. If you’re a fan of the game, make sure to check out the video for a comprehensive exploration of this exciting new addition. Happy gaming!
