Destiny 2 Drop In Quest: How to get the Skimmer

by | Mar 6, 2024

While Guardian Games 2024 features the usual suspects (new armor sets, legendary weapons, and a memento), it’s bringing something no one expected, a brand-new vehicle type: The Skimmer!

The Skimmer is a brand-new vehicle category that lives in the same slot as a Sparrow. But unlike a sparrow, you can use your do tricks, grind rails, or just stylishly fly around looking incredibly cool!

How to get the Skimmer PERMANENTLY: The Drop In Quest

Getting the Skimmer, and more importantly, keeping it forever, is straightforward. All you’ll need to do is the following.

1. Complete the introductory “Best In Class” quest

To gain access to the Drop In quest, you’ll first need to complete the “Best In Class” Quest. This quest is quick and easy to complete. It involves:

  • Getting your themed Class Item from Eva Levante
  • Earning a Medallion by completing an activity from any of the Guardian Games playlists
  • Depositing the Medallion at the Guardian Games podium in the Tower Courtyard
  • Claiming your first Event Challenge from your Quest tab
  • Speaking with Zavala and then Shaxx in the Tower

Completing the “Best In Class” quest will give you to limited-time Skimmer and access to the “Drop In” quest.

2. Complete the “Drop In” quest

The “Drop In” quest, which permanently rewards the Allstar Vector Skimmer, has only one step to complete. 

  • Complete ANY of the following objectives:
    • A 1,200 Medallion Score
    • Earn a top 10% score in Nightfall challenges
    • Open your Focus Activity winners packages

Completing the “Drop In” quest will allow you to keep the skimmer permanently, even after the event is finished!

Reaching a 1,200 Medallion Score

Reaching a 1,200 Medallion score will be, by far, the longest step to complete. Some Medallions definitely count more than 1, but even if you focus your energy on depositing as many high-level Medallions as possible, reaching a 1,200 score will still take you a very long time.

Earning a top 10% score in Nightfall challenges

If you’re good in PvE, reaching a Top 10% Nightfall score should be manageable. At the time of writing, it appears that you’ll need a little over a 200,000 score to reach the Top 10% Nightfall scores. 

Is that easy for a casual player? Maybe not, but it’s definitely achievable, especially for Guardians who can clear Master-level Nightfalls.

Opening 3 Focus Activity winners packages

This step may be the most accessible to the vast majority of players. Having said that, it means your Class should win on three separate days. This may take a while, so don’t expect to get your permanent skimmer within the first few days of the event using this method.
