Destiny Companion Vital Information

Below is a list of vital information regarding the Destiny Companion on Bungie.net and the Mobile App that players may need to know.
  • Account Linking Guide: For information on creating a Bungie.net profile or linking a platform Destiny account to an existing Bungie.net profile, please see the Account Linking Guide.

  • Clans and Groups Guide: For information on the Bungie.net Groups and Destiny Companion Clans features, please see the Bungie.net Groups Guide or the Destiny 2 Clans Guide.

  • Recruitment Forums Guide : For information on the Recruitment Forums feature of the Destiny Companion, please see the Recruitment Forums Guide.

  • Destiny Companion API : For information on the Destiny Companion API for use in third-party apps, please see the Bungie.net Developers Guide.

  • Classified Items: When new game content is released, certain items will show as "Classified" when viewed in the Destiny Companion for a limited time after the content release. Players that are seeing items on their Characters inappropriately listed as "Classified" may want to work through the troubleshooting steps listed above.

  • Transferred Items Missing: Bungie closely monitors reports of items going missing after using the Destiny Companion Item Management features to transfer items between Characters and the Vault. Players that believe they are missing an item after transfer should fully close and restart Destiny and then check all Character and Postmaster inventories in the game for the item in question. 

  • Third Party Authorization: Players should exercise caution when using any third-party websites or applications that request access to their Bungie.net account. Bungie will never ask or require any sensitive or personal information (such as an email address, password, or billing information) to be shared for account creation.

  • PSN External Authentication Error: This sign-in error occurs when a PlayStation Network account needs more information added onto the PSN account profile. Users will need to navigate to their PSN account profile and ensure all required information is filled out.

  • "Something Weird Happened" Error: Sometimes this occurs when navigating Bungie.net and can correct itself on its own. Players that encounter this page repeatedly may want to report this to the Help forum.

  • Cannot Sign-in to Different Account: This issue may occur if a player is still signed in to their linked platform account. To completely sign out, players should clear the browser cache and cookies, or sign out manually from the platform account.

  • Muting Players: Players can mute other players that are harassing them in the Destiny Companion on Bungie.net or the Mobile App. To do so players can navigate to the offending player's profile and choose the Mute option from the Interact button or they can click on the offending player's name in a private message or forum thread and choose the Mute option. Player can un-mute players from their Bungie.net profile Settings page.

  • Cannot Post in Forums: Players may not post in the #Destiny or #Feedback forums if they do not have a platform Destiny account linked to their Bungie.net profile, do not have a history of Destiny gameplay on their linked platform Destiny account, or have received a Bungie.net forum ban. All players can post in the #Help forums.

  • Destiny 1 Companion: After August 23, 2017, most Character data for Destiny 1 players was removed from the Destiny Companion on Bungie.net and the Mobile App. The API for Destiny will continue to be available and fully functional for third-party app developers to access. The availability of the Destiny API may be subject to change based on implementation and stability. For more information, please see the Legacy Support Guide for Destiny 1.
