How Do I Transfer My Destiny 1 Character to Destiny 2?
When it comes to transferring your characters from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2, the process is not as straightforward as some may hope. Unfortunately, Bungie, the developers of the Destiny series, made some changes that prevent a seamless transition. In this article, we will break down the process and provide all the necessary information to help you understand how to transfer your Destiny 1 character to Destiny 2.
Direct Answer to Your Question
Unfortunately, you cannot transfer your characters from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2. However, you can transfer physical appearance of your character, including cosmetics and appearance-based items.
Understanding the Transfer Process
During the initial release of Destiny 2, there was a transfer process that allowed players to move some of their Destiny 1 characters over to the new game. However, this was a one-time process, and subsequent expansions and updates have limited the transfer options.
What’s Left to Transfer
As mentioned earlier, the physical appearance of your character, including cosmetic items and appearance-based content, can be transferred from Destiny 1 to Destiny 2. This means that you can maintain your character’s look and feel in Destiny 2, but you will not be carrying over any of your character’s in-game progress, such as levels, strikes, or raids.
What Does This Mean for You?
Unfortunately, this means that you will need to create a new character in Destiny 2 or choose an existing one to play. Your old character’s stats, experience, and progress will not transfer, so you will need to start over.
How to Transfer Your Physical Appearance
To transfer your physical appearance, including cosmetics and appearance-based items, you need to have reached level 20 with your Destiny 1 character and completed the Black Garden quest. Once you meet these requirements, you can transfer your physical appearance to Destiny 2.
Things to Consider
Before transferring your character, keep the following in mind:
• No in-game progress will be transferred, so be prepared to start over.
• Certain items may not be compatible between Destiny 1 and Destiny 2, so be prepared for some things to not transfer.
• Other changes may affect the overall balance and gameplay of Destiny 2.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don’t want to transfer my character?
You do not need to transfer your character to play Destiny 2. You can create a new one or choose an existing one to play.
What if I have a legacy account?
Legacy accounts are no longer an option for transferring characters. Legacy accounts were only available during a specific time period, and Bungie has since discontinued this option.
How do I transfer my character’s items?
As mentioned earlier, you can only transfer physical appearance, including cosmetic items and appearance-based content. In-game items, including weapons and armor, will not transfer.
| Character Transfer Options | Result |

| Transfer physical appearance | Cosmetic items and appearance-based content will transfer |

Conclusion
In conclusion, transferring your Destiny 1 character to Destiny 2 is not as straightforward as some may hope. While you can transfer your physical appearance, including cosmetic items and appearance-based content, your in-game progress, such as levels, strikes, and raids, will not transfer. Be prepared to start over and create a new character in Destiny 2 or choose an existing one. Remember to keep the things we mentioned earlier in mind, such as the potential for certain items not being compatible and other changes that may affect gameplay.
