So You Want a Loyal Friend in Destiny 2? Ditch the Dating Apps, Grab Your Ghost
Let's face it, Guardian, the dating pool in Destiny 2 can be a bit... limited. Sure, there's Zavala with his brooding charm, but come on, have you seen that beard? Talk about commitment issues.
What you really need is a friend who'll revive you when you inevitably crayon-dive off a cliff chasing a shiny engram, someone to share raid strategies that don't involve interpretive dance, and maybe even someone who won't judge your questionable fashion choices (looking at you, Neon Omnioculars).
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
Forget the Hive! Here's How to Actually Find a Decent Fireteam Buddy:
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.

Step 1: Lower Your Standards (Just a Smidge)
Look, we all dream of finding the perfect teammate, a walking Well of Radiance with the aim of a Hawkmoon god. But in the real world (or should I say, real universe), Guardians come in all shapes and sizes (and helmet choices). Be open to folks who might not be flawless raiders, but who show up with a good attitude and a willingness to learn. Remember, everyone starts somewhere (even the guy who keeps accidentally blowing himself up with Gjallarhorn). -
Subheading: Embrace the Power of LFG! Don't be shy, Guardian! The Looking For Group (LFG) systems are your best friend in this friend-finding quest. Think of it as a cosmic Craigslist, but with fewer creepy DMs (hopefully). Browse through posts, join groups with clear goals and chill vibes, and don't be afraid to crack a joke or two. After all, laughter is the best medicine, especially after a particularly brutal wipe on the Gauntlet.
-
Step 2: Prove You're Not a Total Jerk (This One's Important) Here's the shocker: people tend to stick around if you treat them with respect! Be patient with newbies, revive fallen comrades, and share those sweet, sweet heavy ammo drops. Nobody likes a loot goblin, Guardian. Show some generosity and you might just find yourself building a squad of raid-ready Robin Hoods.
-
Subheading: Communication is Key (Especially When You Accidentally Steal Their Exotic) A little heads-up goes a long way. Let your fireteam know if you need help, call out enemy flanks, and for the love of the Traveler, use your microphone! Nobody enjoys telepathic raid strategies, especially when it involves explaining why you just punched a Taken Captain off the map (it was tactical, I swear!).
Remember, Guardians: Friendship Takes Time (and Maybe a Few Strikes)
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
Building a solid fireteam takes effort, just like mastering that perfect grenade throw. Don't get discouraged if you don't click with everyone you meet. Just keep putting yourself out there, helping others, and eventually, you'll find your squad. And who knows, maybe you'll even make some new best friends along the way (just don't tell Zavala you said that).
QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
Now get out there, Guardian! The loot (and the laughs) await!
