Bungie releases Destiny 2 items in support of Black Lives Matter
Bungie is providing a novel way for Destiny 2 players to show their support for Black Lives Matter inside the game. Today, the developer started preorders for what it calls a “be heard” enamel pin — it features a black fist gripping a lightning bolt, set above the Black Lives Matter slogan — which costs $15, with all proceeds going toward the Equal Justice Initiative.
The pin isn’t expected to start shipping until later this year, but those who purchase will also get a voucher for an in-game emblem featuring the same visual design. Emblems are one of the most prominent aspects in Destiny 2 character customization, appearing alongside players’ names in profiles and in multiplayer modes.
