Social

Social is a game mode of Destiny and Destiny 2. Designated social spaces are non-combat areas where a player may interact with other players. While at a social space, the player camera changes to a third person view. There are four accessible social spaces in Destiny, each with a different set of features available to the player: the Tower, the Vestian Outpost, the Lighthouse, and the Iron Temple. Destiny 2 features a new version of the Tower and the Farm.
