109 free Destiny trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
53 free Destiny trivia questions with answers. Destiny launched in 2014 as the biggest new-franchise debut in history, and spent a decade being loved, mocked and grinded in roughly equal measure. This quiz covers the original: the shared-world shooter idea, Guardians and Ghosts, the three classes and their supers, the Traveler and the Darkness, the Vex, Hive, Fallen and Cabal, the Vault of Glass, the Loot Cave, Peter Dinklage's wizard from the Moon, and the composer Bungie fired. Then Destiny 2: the Red War and Ghaul, Cayde-6's death in Forsaken, Stasis on Europa, Savathûn's Throne World, Neomuna, the Witness and the Pale Heart, Prismatic, the 12-player Excision, and the run of events from Sony's $3.6 billion purchase to the last expansion and the end of live-service updates in 2026. It suits Day One players, lapsed Guardians and anyone still arguing about the vault. Every answer was checked against the Wikipedia articles on Destiny, Destiny 2, its expansions, Bungie and the voice cast, and each question shows the sentence that supports it once you answer.

Q 01Which vendor turns up in Destiny's Tower only at weekends to sell exotic gear?
Xûr
Xûr. The Agent of the Nine is gone again within days, and Destiny 2 later made him the host of a game show, Dares of Eternity, alongside a celestial horse.
Q 02Which platform missed the original Destiny entirely but got Destiny 2 in 2017?
Windows PC
Windows PC. Destiny 2 launched there on Blizzard's Battle.net, then moved to Steam in 2019 once Bungie had split from its publisher.
Q 03Destiny was the first game in the developer's ten-year agreement with which publisher?
Activision
Activision published Destiny under a ten-year agreement signed with the developer in April 2010; the partnership ended early when the two split in January 2019.
Q 04Destiny's $325 million first five days in 2014 set a launch record for what kind of game?
A new franchise
A new franchise. Its publisher claimed the record in 2014, but it lasted under two years: Ubisoft's The Division took it in 2016 with an estimated $330 million.
Q 05When it unveiled Destiny in 2013, Bungie avoided the label MMO in favour of which term?
Shared-world shooter
Shared-world shooter. Bungie resisted the MMO tag even though Destiny drops strangers into one persistent online world and borrows other MMO features.
Q 06What is Destiny's player-versus-player mode, overseen by Lord Shaxx, called?
The Crucible
The Crucible. Gear power is levelled out in its standard matches so skill decides, and in the story it doubles as live-fire training for the wars to come.
Q 07Which white spherical being hovers over humanity's last safe city in Destiny?
The Traveler
The Traveler is the vast white sphere whose arrival ushered in humanity's Golden Age; it fell silent above the city after the Collapse.
Q 08In Destiny, what is the small flying AI companion that resurrects your Guardian called?
Ghost
Ghost. Each one searches for a single long-dead person to raise as its partner, who then wakes with no memory of the life they led before.
Q 09Which actor first voiced the player's AI companion in Destiny, before being recast in 2015?
Peter Dinklage
Peter Dinklage. His deadpan delivery was widely mocked, yet when Nolan North re-recorded every line in 2015, Bungie put the recast down to the star's packed schedule.
Q 10Which deadpan line from Destiny's alpha became a meme that Bungie printed on a charity T-shirt?
'That wizard came from the Moon'
'That wizard came from the Moon' drew so much mockery in the June 2014 alpha that Bungie said its companion's dialogue had already been reworked for the beta a month later.
Q 11Who voices the Speaker in the original Destiny?
Bill Nighy
Bill Nighy. His Speaker greets new arrivals at the Tower, and returns in Destiny 2 only to be captured by the invading Red Legion and killed.
Q 12Which class item do Destiny's Hunters wear?
A cloak
A cloak. Titans wear marks and Warlocks bonds instead, and all three were purely cosmetic until a 2015 update gave class items a defence stat.
Q 13Which three species can a player's Guardian be in Destiny?
Human, Awoken and Exo
Human, Awoken and Exo. The choice is cosmetic, but an Exo's name tells a story: the number in a name like Banshee-44 counts how many times its memory has been wiped.
Q 21In Destiny lore, the Hive gods Oryx, Xivu Arath and their sister began as three siblings of which race?
The Krill of Fundament
The Krill of Fundament. With their father the king overthrown, the three sisters struck a bargain with the Worm Gods trapped deep in the planet: feed them, and never die.
Q 22Which 2015 expansion began Destiny's Year Two and added a third subclass to every class?
The Taken King
The Taken King. Its villain Oryx comes for revenge after players killed his son Crota in the game's first expansion, and parks his Dreadnaught in the rings of Saturn.
Q 23Which Destiny expansion introduced the technological plague SIVA and the Devil Splicers?
Rise of Iron
Q 14Which of these supers belongs to the Hunter class in Destiny?
Golden Gun
Golden Gun. The Gunslinger's flaming pistol holds just three shots, so each miss throws away a third of the super; Nova Bomb is a Warlock's and the other two are Titans'.
Q 15Which Titan subclass in the original Destiny has the Ward of Dawn bubble as its super?
Defender
Defender. Destiny 2 replaced the subclass with Sentinel, whose new super is a Void shield that can be thrown, though it can still raise the old bubble.
Q 16How many players make up a raid team in Destiny?
Six
Six. Raids launched with no matchmaking: players had to gather their own team, a barrier one of the designers said he put up on purpose to protect the challenge.
Q 17Which was the first Destiny raid, set on Venus and ending with the boss Atheon?
Vault of Glass
Vault of Glass, opened a week after launch on Venus, ends with Atheon, Time's Conflux, who flings players into the past or future.
Q 18Which Destiny enemy race are semi-organic androids that run endless simulations and bend time?
The Vex
The Vex are machines animated by radiolarian fluid that run endless simulations and bend time; they long ago converted Mercury into a single planet-spanning machine.
Q 19Destiny's Fallen, insectoid nomadic pirates, are also known by what name?
Eliksni
Eliksni is the Fallen's own name for themselves; they are organised into Houses, each led by a Kell, and once revered the Great Machine that abandoned them.
Q 20Which Destiny race is a militaristic empire of hulking armoured soldiers dug in on Mars?
The Cabal
The Cabal. The original game treats their Mars bases as scouting posts for an invasion of Earth, and in Destiny 2 that invasion arrives.
Rise of Iron. Lord Saladin recruits players as a new generation of Iron Lords, the order that gave their lives to contain SIVA more than a century earlier.
Q 24Where was most of the original Destiny's lore kept, readable only outside the game?
Grimoire cards online
Grimoire cards online. Players unlocked them in the game but could read them only on Bungie's website or app, and Destiny 2 dropped the system to tell its story in-game.
Q 25Which periodic PvP event in Destiny offers exclusive gear and rotates modes like Control and Clash?
Iron Banner
Iron Banner. Unlike everyday matches, the week-long event switches gear advantages on, so a stronger rifle really does hit harder.
Q 26What was the name of the exploit spot in Destiny where enemies respawned fast enough to farm gear?
The Loot Cave
The Loot Cave. Players lined up to fire into a cave whose enemies came back every six seconds, until a hotfix about two weeks after launch stretched the wait to forty.
Q 27Which long-time composer did Destiny's developer fire in April 2014 over an E3 trailer dispute?
Martin O'Donnell
Martin O'Donnell, who scored the Halo series, was dismissed 'without cause' that April and later won a court case against the studio over unpaid wages and stock.
Q 28Which former Beatle collaborated on Destiny's symphonic suite Music of the Spheres?
Paul McCartney
Paul McCartney. The suite he co-wrote was shelved when Bungie fell out with its lead composer; it leaked online in 2017, and the studio finally published it in 2018.
Q 29Around how many players took part in Destiny's public beta in July 2014?
4.6 million
4.6 million. The beta began as a pre-order perk on PlayStation, spread to Xbox, then was thrown open to everyone for its final days; the publisher counted 4,638,937 players.
Q 30Destiny lost its three other nominations at the 2015 British Academy Games Awards but won which prize?
Best Game
Best Game. Destiny beat Alien: Isolation, which had arrived with the most nominations of the night and went home with only the audio prize.
