Sparrows are fast, hover-bike vehicles that travel on land. It is the main form of transportation in Destiny. Players can access their Sparrows after summoning their Ghosts. The vehicles function similar to mounts in other online games, allowing players to cover long distances in short time.
Players can change their Sparrows by equipping a different one from their inventory page. Players can purchase different Sparrows from the Shipwright in The Tower. The rarer Sparrows have better stats, they have more durability, speed and brake.
Types of Sparrows
Tier 1: Common
Players obtain their first Sparrow, Sparrow S-10, in the level 4 Story Mission The Warmind. Sparrow S-11 is the upgraded version of the default Sparrow. It is currently unavailable.
Tier 2: Uncommon
Players can purchase S-2X series at the Shipwright for 2250 Glimmer each if the players are level 8+. They can also obtain them by turning in Deployment Orders obtained from level 15 Story Mission Exlusion Zone. Additionally, players who pre-ordered Destiny from GameStop will receive a
Sparrow S-10V as a bonus.
