Destiny 2 deleting and remaking characters 2022

Five years after launch, players are still trying to determine if they can change their gender in Destiny 2. Most games with character customization these days allow you to make changes later. So, one would think that in 2022, Bungie would have put in a way for you to change your character in Destiny 2 to a male, female, or non-binary.

Unfortunately, once you’ve completed character creation in Destiny 2, you can’t change your gender. In fact, since Update 3.0.0.1 was released on November 10, 2020, genders have been replaced by body types. So now, you have the choice between picking a masculine or feminine body. Unfortunately, that too remains unchangeable after you start the game.

Character recustomization has been one of the most requested features since Destiny 2 launched, but it’s still not in the game. Bungie had talked previously about improving face models for future customization possibilities and those launched alongside the Beyond Light expansion. However, we haven’t seen any updates since then, and it doesn’t seem like a priority for the developers.

The only solution if you want to change your gender in Destiny 2, is to start a new character. There are three save slots, and you can delete a character if you need.. If this is the course you decide to take, we recommend doing it shortly before or after an expansion releases. That way, your new character will get pumped up to the new minimum power level when the campaign drops.

We haven’t seen any comment from Bungie explaining why being able to change body types isn’t possible. There may be a technical reason for it, but we don’t see what that could be. There’s no body customization, so there are just two variables to choose from, masculine and feminine. It seems like it’d be pretty simple to just let you return to the character creation screen by talking to an NPC or something.

You can do campaigns in any order. I'm not sure whether you can skip the New Light campaign on new characters though

All the Expansions are independent of each other, it doesn't matter which order you play them in, or even if you play any particular expansion at all.

You can have 3 characters total. If you don't have 3 already, you can make more. If you're at three already and you want a "new" one, then you have to delete an old one (I'm not sure I'd recommend doing that).

The best policy is to have one of each class.

DLC's are any order. A new character will still have the New Light experience to go through before they start DLCs. If you are already at 3 characters and have Stasis unlocked I don't recommend deleting a character as you'd have to play the Beyond Light campaign to unlock it for that character again.

i reset my warlock a few weeks back because I wanted to get the curated roll of the Night Watch scout rifle for the next season. But I forgot about needing to unlock stasis again. it was painful doing the story a 4th time (I mean, it was painful doing it a 2nd and 3rd time lol)

On that note, is Beyond Light going free with the launch of Witch Queen?

no, only forsaken campaign, tangled shore location, 2 strikes, and everything from seasons 12-15 (I think)

No Beyond Light is not being made "Free" when Witch Queen launches.

It may get integrated in to the "Free To Play" Content in about a year or 2 maybe more but currently from what I have seen it will still be a "Paid For Expansion" once Witch Queen Launches.

Nope that content is being removed not made Free.

I still haven't finished it for my Warlock (who's my least played character). So, I've only done it about 2 and a half times.

The one thing that tempts me, is the chance to re-customize my characters, I'd kind of like a chance to do that. Not enough to re-do the Stasis questline though.

Bungie really should make stasis free to the game after what 3 years since Beyond Light released?

Destiny 2 deleting and remaking characters 2022

Nov 10th 2020, so a year and 4-ish months

Destiny 2 deleting and remaking characters 2022

Release was November 10, 2020 and it is February 2022 so that makes it 2 years and 4 months. Its one think to lock people out of a Raid or Dungeon (which is fine) but quite another to lock out core gameplay system that is stasis. Bungie knows what it is doing of course.

no it's a year and 4 months. Nov 2020 + 1 year = Nov 2021. Nov 2021 + 4 months = now

Can you remake a character in Destiny 2?

Can you restore deleted characters in Destiny 2?

Whether due to accidental deletion or unauthorized account access, Bungie does not recover manually deleted characters or items, and does not replace in-game items that are lost or dismantled.

Can I change my characters gender in Destiny 2?

To change the gender of your character, go to the Loadouts window and select a loadout you wish to modify the gender for.
