Destiny 2: Get the Hoverboard Skimmer

Destiny 2 Guide: How to Obtain the Hoverboard Skimmer

Destiny 2’s recent introduction of hoverboard skimmers has sparked excitement among players eager to traverse the game’s worlds in a new way. This guide details the steps to acquire this exciting new vehicle.

How to Obtain the Hoverboard Skimmer

Obtaining the skimmer, and securing its permanent use, involves completing two key quests.

• Complete the “Best In Class” quest from Eva Levante: This straightforward quest involves earning a specific medallion through activities in Guardian Games playlists. Depositing the medallion at the designated location in the Tower Courtyard, followed by interacting with Zavala and Shaxx, unlocks the next step.
• Complete the “Drop In” quest from Eva Levante: This final step leads to permanent possession of the skimmer, even after the event concludes. Achieve any of the following objectives to complete this quest:
  • Accumulate a 1,200 Medallion score.
  • Achieve a top 10% score in Nightfall challenges.
  • Unpack Focus Activity winner packages.

How to Fly with the Skimmer

Utilizing the skimmer is simple and intuitive.

• Activate the Skimmer: Press the crouch button (often represented by CTRL, B, or Circle, depending on your platform) while on the ground. The skimmer will immediately begin its rail-grinding action.
• Grinding the Rail: The board creates its own rail as you move. This action mimics the experience of skateboarding but elevates the rider into the air.
• Energy Management: The skimmer operates on a finite energy supply. The energy meter will decrease progressively as you maintain flight. After roughly 25 seconds, the energy depletes, preventing further travel.
• Sustained Flight (Quick Change): A workaround exists for continuous flight. Quickly dismount the skimmer, retrieve another, and then reactivate it. This technique allows you to traverse large distances.

How to Get the Winged Wolf Skimmer

An additional skimmer option, the Winged Wolf, is available through Eververse.

• Obtainable through Gjallarheart Gear Bundle: This bundle, inspired by Norse mythology, includes the skimmer along with other gear items, including armour and weapon ornaments.
• Cost: Purchasing the bundle requires Eververse Silver. The cost is 2,500 Silver for the full bundle, containing skimmer, ghost shell, ship, and shader.
• Alternative Option: Purchasing Silver directly from external retailers can provide access to this vehicle.

Mastering the skimmer unlocks new possibilities for traversal in Destiny 2. Experiment with these techniques to fully explore the game’s environments in a unique and exciting manner.
