Destiny 2 – here’s how much Silver costs, and what you can and can’t buy with it

Silver, the Destiny in-game currency you can buy using real-money, is already available in Destiny 2.

Alongside the game’s launch, the in-game microtransactions store, Eververse Trading Company, has opened its doors. The store is accessible upon reaching the Farm, Destiny 2’s first social space.

Unlike the original Destiny, you’re only able to buy Bright Engrams from Eververse using Silver. You can’t buy a specific emote or cosmetic item outright, but the game does give you an outline of the possible drops within these Bright Engrams.

Like we pointed out earlier, you can buy Bright Engrams only after reaching the level cap of 20. You also earn these loot boxes every time you level up past 20, or reach a new faction reputation level with any of the NPCs that you can grind faction rep with.

A Bright Engram comes with cosmetic items such as weapon Ornaments, new armour (low level you can infuse), emotes, sparrows, ships, shaders, and more. Duplicates are a possibility, dismantling which gives you Bright Dust. Bright Dust is the only way to purchase a specific item, and you can’t exchange Silver for it.

Now onto Silver, prices and bundles haven’t changed from the days of Destiny 1. Here’s what you’ll be paying in real-money:

• 500 Silver – $5, £4.50
• 1000 (+100) – $10, £8.49
• 2000 (+300) – $20, £16.79
• 5000 (+800) – $50, £40

You use this Silver to buy a single Bright Engram, or a bundle of three or five. One Bright Engram costs 200 Silver, three cost 500 Silver, and five will set you back 800 Silver.

Silver is now live on the PlayStation and Xbox stores, accessible from in-game.

Destiny 2 is out now on PS4, and Xbox One.
