#7: Understanding The Director (World) Screen

Summary

The Director screen is how you’ll navigate into all the different parts of the game. Whether you’re going to play a new game mode, take a trip to the Tower to speak to NPCs and pick up quests, or are trying to claim your rewards pass, you’ll use this menu.


Portal

The Portal is the main activity hub to engage with much of the content in Destiny 2. There, you’ll see the current event going on in the game, the latest expansion to help you from where you left off, and a list of activities on the bottom-left. There are also two main buttons on this hub menu, Seasonal Hub and Tower.

Seasonal Hub

In the Seasonal Hub, you’ll see a list of daily and weekly challenges. These provide rewards for you that will help you grow your character’s Power. This is where several other activity hubs are, which all have their own set of tasks, quests, and rewards.

Overview

  • This tab shows you all the daily and weekly challenges you can complete, as well as their progress and all the rewards you can collect such as XP, Bright Dust, and other currency rewards.

Vanguard Alerts

  • Vanguard Alerts allow you and your fireteam to complete a range of activities available to players at all skill levels for rewards that will help you progress in the game. Activities include different playlists, as well as new raids and dungeons.
    • There are simple Vanguard Alerts, Arena Vanguard Alerts, and Crucible, which are simple and swift options to play some PvE and earn rewards. If you’re looking for a challenge, Grandmaster Vanguard Alerts are a great way to challenge yourself and your fireteam while earning some awesome rewards for your time and effort.

Conquests

  • Want to test your mettle and earn some high-tier loot? Seasonal Conquests are for you. These difficult conquests are curated challenging endgame activities, with escalating difficulties that have fixed modifiers and offer significant rewards for first-time completion. Once you complete all the conquests available, you can head over to the Seasonal Title tab to claim your hard-earned Conqueror Title.

World

The World map compiles everywhere you’ve been, and everywhere you can go. Each planet is a destination to explore, with its own quests, side-quests, and exploration available. Additionally, you can access certain legacy game modes and activities like Crucible, Vanguard, and Gambit. Here, you can also check out the Legends menu, where you can access legacy raids and dungeons, as well as several Exotic missions.

This is also how you locate and land on the Tower, the main hub of the game where Guardians can meet with one another in a social hub.


Quests

This is where all your active quests will be logged. This is helpful to keep track of where you’re at in the story, which side-quests you’ve progressed, and to easily track seasonal quest progress.


Rewards Pass

Seasonal Ranks are available to all players and allow them to unlock rewards by playing Destiny 2 and earning XP. Each rank requires a certain amount of XP to unlock.

There are two tracks of a Seasonal Rank: Free and Premium. The Free track is available to all players regardless of what Destiny 2 content they own, whereas the Premium track is only available to players who own the current Rewards Pass. The Premium Track gives players access to rewards earlier than the Free track, with some rewards being exclusive to the Premium track.

You can read more about the Rewards Pass, at the Rewards Pass, Ranks, Artifacts and Mods article here.


Store (Eververse)

Run by the merchant Tess Everis, who runs the Eververse shop; it’s the go-to place to acquire unique cosmetics. Armor ornaments, emotes, ships, sparrows, and shaders are all purchasable for Silver (acquired using real-world currency) or Bright Dust (earnable in-game currency).

You can also find the Eververse store by going to the Tower and speaking to Tess in the blue booth to the left of the main Tower spawn.

If you run into any issues with currency or buying content in the game, please reach out to our support team for assistance!
