This Destiny 2 trivia quiz has 68 free questions with answers and spans the whole franchise, from Destiny's 2014 launch and the Vault of Glass through The Taken King, Rise of Iron, the Red War, Forsaken, Beyond Light, The Witch Queen, Lightfall and The Final Shape. Expect questions on Bungie's history (Halo, the Activision split, the Sony deal), the voice cast behind Ghost, Cayde-6 and Zavala, the three Guardian classes, the enemy races, iconic exotics like Gjallarhorn and the Ace of Spades, and the lore of the Traveler, the Hive and the Witness. It is built for Guardians who have put real hours in, but the easier questions are fair game for anyone who has watched a friend play. Difficulty is mixed, so casual players and raid sherpas can both find something to argue about. Every answer was checked against a reference page (Wikipedia's articles on the games, expansions and characters), so if you get one wrong, you can trust the explanation.

Q 01Destiny was Bungie's first new console franchise since which series?
Halo
Halo stayed with its owner when Bungie went independent in 2007, so the studio had to invent a new universe; Halo: Reach, in 2010, was the last game it made in the series.
Q 02Which Titan oversees Destiny's Crucible player-versus-player matches as its handler?
Lord Shaxx
Lord Shaxx led the counterattack that saved the Last City at the Battle of Twilight Gap, then left the Vanguard to run the Crucible and keep Guardians battle-ready.
Q 03Which company bought Bungie for $3.6 billion in a deal announced in 2022?
Sony
Sony promised that Bungie would stay a multi-platform studio and go on publishing its own games, so Destiny 2 remained on rival consoles after the takeover.
Q 04Which company acquired Bungie in 2000?
Microsoft
Microsoft bought Bungie in June 2000 and kept its flagship shooter series when the studio went independent again in October 2007.
Q 05In which US city was Bungie originally based?
Chicago
Bungie was founded in Chicago in 1991; Alex Seropian and Jason Jones had met in an artificial intelligence course at the University of Chicago.
Q 06Which actor originally voiced the player's Ghost in the first Destiny?
Peter Dinklage
Peter Dinklage voiced Ghost at launch, but critics called his delivery flat and phoned-in from the alpha onward, and Bungie later had a new actor re-record every one of his lines.
Q 07Who replaced the original Ghost actor when The Taken King launched in 2015?
Nolan North
Nolan North took over as Ghost and re-recorded every earlier line, because Bungie wanted one voice to wake players at level one and follow them all the way to level forty.
Q 08In a much-mocked line from Destiny's alpha test, Ghost says "that wizard" came from where?
The Moon
The Moon: players turned Ghost's flat 'That wizard came from the Moon' into a meme, so Bungie sold a limited-edition T-shirt of the line and gave the proceeds to charity.
Q 09Which actor voiced Cayde-6 in the original Destiny and returned to the role for The Final Shape?
Nathan Fillion
Nathan Fillion voiced Cayde-6 from the first game but sat out Forsaken, the very expansion that kills the character, before coming back when Cayde reappeared in 2024.
Q 10Which actor voiced Commander Zavala in the original Destiny?
Lance Reddick
Lance Reddick voiced Zavala from the first game until he died in March 2023, and players then flocked to the character in the Tower to stand vigil and salute him.
Q 11Who took over as the voice of Commander Zavala for The Final Shape?
Keith David
Keith David was announced as Zavala's new voice in August 2023, and Bungie chose to leave every line recorded by his predecessor untouched rather than re-record the role.
Q 12Which actress originally voiced Ikora Rey, one of the Vanguard leaders?
Gina Torres
Gina Torres voiced Ikora Rey through the first Destiny and the early years of Destiny 2, until the role passed to Mara Junot, who has played her since.
Q 13Which British actor voiced the Speaker, the Traveler's representative in the Tower?
Bill Nighy
Bill Nighy voiced the masked Speaker, the Traveler's emissary in the Tower, who was captured by Dominus Ghaul's forces during Destiny 2's opening campaign.
Q 21What was the name of Cayde-6's Ghost, whose destruction meant he could not be revived?
Sundance
Sundance was destroyed by a single shot from Pirrha, the Rifleman, a sniper among the Scorn Barons, during the Prison of Elders breakout, which left the wounded Cayde with nobody to revive him.
Q 22Two weeks before Forsaken launched, Cayde-6 sent players to collect an expired coupon from which Tower booth?
The ramen shop
The ramen shop: the Spicy Ramen Coupon carried Cayde's ode to his favourite dish, and its writer later said the long-expired slip was meant to foreshadow his death in Forsaken.
Q 23Destiny's first raid, the Vault of Glass, is set on which planet?
Venus
Q 14Which Guardian class has the Nova Bomb super?
Warlock
Warlock: Bungie pitched the class as a 'space wizard' and pointed to The Matrix when explaining its powers, such as the Nova Bomb, a hurled sphere of Void energy that vaporises weaker enemies.
Q 15Titans were partly inspired by Stormtroopers and which of Bungie's own earlier characters?
Master Chief
Master Chief was a stated model because Bungie wanted Titans to read as the classic 'future soldier', so it drew on its own armoured hero and on Star Wars Stormtroopers.
Q 16Golden Gun, the Hunter super from the original Destiny, draws on which element?
Solar
Solar: the original Golden Gun lasted three flaming shots or about ten seconds, whichever ran out first, and in the Crucible a single shot was enough to drop a rival Guardian.
Q 17Cayde-6, Banshee-44 and the Stranger all belong to which race of humanoid machines?
Exo
The number in an Exo's name counts their reboots, so Cayde had been reset six times before the events of the games.
Q 18Who killed Cayde-6 at the start of Forsaken?
Uldren Sov
Uldren Sov, the Awoken prince, shot Cayde with Cayde's own gun in the Prison of Elders, then fled to the Tangled Shore.
Q 19Cayde-6 was murdered with which of his own hand cannons?
Ace of Spades
Ace of Spades: Cayde's exotic hand cannon was recovered during the Forsaken campaign and became an exotic quest reward for players.
Q 20Cayde-6's killer was later resurrected as an amnesiac Lightbearer known by what name?
Crow
Crow debuted in Season of the Hunt in late 2020 as the crime boss Spider's enforcer on the Tangled Shore, and Spider made sure nobody told him who he had been.
Venus hosts the Vault of Glass, which opened a week after launch with no matchmaking, so players had to recruit a full fireteam of six themselves before facing its time-bending Vex.
Q 24The antagonist of The Dark Below is the son of which Hive god?
Oryx
Oryx, the Taken King, came to avenge his slain son, and his defeat in the King's Fall raid closed The Taken King's story.
Q 25The Dreadnaught, the Hive ship explored in The Taken King, sits in orbit around which planet?
Saturn
Saturn: the Dreadnaught arrived by destroying the Awoken fleet that ambushed it there, then settled among the planet's rings as The Taken King's new patrol zone.
Q 26Which of the original Hive siblings carries the title "God of War"?
Xivu Arath
Xivu Arath began as Xi Ro, one of three Krill sisters on the world Fundament who fed the worm gods in exchange for immortality and so became the first Hive.
Q 27Eris Morn first appeared as the sole survivor of a fireteam that had tried to take on which enemy?
Crota
Crota: Eris Morn's six-Guardian fireteam, led by Eriana-3, descended into the Hellmouth to kill the Hive prince, and she alone escaped, years later and without her Ghost.
Q 28Which Destiny expansion introduced the Prison of Elders arena and Trials of Osiris?
House of Wolves
House of Wolves, released in May 2015, was the only Destiny expansion to ship without a raid: the three-player Prison of Elders arena took its place as the endgame.
Q 29Rise of Iron's Fallen enemies were empowered by what self-replicating Golden Age nanotechnology?
SIVA
SIVA was designed to build colonies, but it turned on the Iron Lords who sought it, and nearly all of them died sealing it away long before the Fallen Devil Splicers dug it up.
Q 30Which Crucible mode, added with Rise of Iron, has players collect crests dropped by defeated opponents?
Supremacy
Supremacy: every defeated Guardian drops a crest worth points to whoever collects it, so a teammate of the fallen player can snatch it up first and deny the other side its score.
