With the Into the Light free DLC, players are grinding all the BRAVE arsenal weapons offered by Lord Shaxx, doing weekly and daily bounties to fill the reputation bar and gain access to even more gear.

One of the daily quests to earn Lord Shaxx reputation tasks players with doing tricks on either the Sparrow or a Skimmer, a brand-new vehicle introduced with the Guardian Games 2024.

So, how do you actually pull them off? Let's find out. While you're here, don't forget to check out the full Into the Light roadmap.

Ride in style in Destiny 2

While the game has some advanced tech commonly utilised by Destiny 2 speedrunners, the daily bounty simply refers to the small variety of emotes players can perform while riding on either vehicle type.

Depending on your controller of choice, whether it's a classic Xbox/PlayStation one or a mouse and keyboard, performing tricks is slightly different, but in both cases super simple.

If you're playing with an Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 controller, you'll need to gain some height by boosting over a hill, once you're airborne, press any button on your D-pad to perform a trick. If you're a mouse and keyboard warrior, you can use the arrow keys.

You'll have to perform around three or four tricks to complete the quest, which should take you a couple of minutes at worst.

So there you have it, now you know how to traverse in style by performing some Tony Hawk-esque stunts while riding Sparrows and Skimmers.
