As with the loot box systems of other games, you only know what’s in Destiny 2 Bright Engrams after you’ve unlocked them. Bungie calls this unlocking decryption, but the concept is the same. A decrypted Bright Engram reveals all the new items and extras you can use on your Guardian.

Bright Engrams can unlock sparrows, character armor, weapons and shaders. You can also get a Sparrow from a Bright Engram. Sparrows are the floating motorbikes that make exploring the game’s huge environments less tedious.

Destiny 2 is a huge game with a lot to do. That gives you plenty of opportunities to level up your character and claim Bright Engrams.

5 New Destiny 2 Features Worth Upgrading For

Destiny 2 Cinematic Story

Destiny 2 Cinematic Story

The most exciting of Destiny 2’s features are what Bungie is calling its “cinematic campaign.” That’s because the original Destiny arrived with an unorthodox single-player. The story wasn’t cohesive and didn’t dive into the game’s lore much. There were times when the story that was there seemed out-of-place.

Destiny 2 promises a real narrative. Nathan Fillion and Lance Reddick star in the game’s story. During the middle of a calm meeting, it slowly dawns on the command staff at Earth’s last remaining city that something is about to go wrong. Soon they’re bombarded by a huge garrison of battleships. The Red Legion wants the power of the Traveler Orb floating above the city for itself. Gamers can expect lots of cutscenes between tasks in the game’s campaign. The scenes Bungie has shown off so far feel more like a movie than a video game. They are better at conveying what’s going on than Destiny’s story.

      This whole article is bullshit. No the bright engrams are only cosmetic items. The only gear you get from it will start at the lowest power level which is 10 and you have to level it up like any other gear. The only think that would give you a slight edge would be there are tokens that give you a slight xp gain buff and engram drop rate but its barely noticable and you can earn bright engrams just by leveling past 20.
