So, You Wanna Rename Your Destiny 2 Clan, Huh? Let’s Get Down to Brass Tacks.
Hey, Guardian. Let’s discuss clan names in Destiny 2. You’ve spent hours building your clan. Now you stare at the name thinking, “Nah.” It might’ve been epic back in the Red War, but now it feels like a dad joke. Changing that name is simple. Even if some of Destiny 2’s systems are confusing.
You likely want to know how to scrub the old and welcome the new. Let’s explore how to rename your Destiny 2 clan.
Who Gets to Wield the Renaming Hammer?
First, not everyone can change the clan name on a whim. Only the clan leader can change the clan’s name, tag, or region. They are the ruler of your digital dynasty. If you’re not the leader, talk to them. Maybe offer legendary shards or run their least favorite strike. Bribery is just ‘persuasion’ here.
The Nitty-Gritty: How to Actually Change the Name
Okay, leaders, listen up. Changing the clan name is easy. It’s not in some hidden menu.
- Step 1: Clan Menu Ahoy! Go to the main clan screen. This is where you see your banner and clanmates. Maybe even some birds if Bungie adds them someday.
- Step 2: Find the Edit Button. Look for a field with your current clan name, tag, or region. It should stand out like a sore thumb when your team wipes.
- Step 3: Tap to Edit, Mash ‘Confirm’. Click on that field. A text box should appear. Type in your new, improved clan name. Once satisfied, hit ‘confirm’ like you mean it. No take-backs, well, until you want to change it again.
Your clan has a new identity now. Go confuse your rivals in the Crucible.
Word Count Woes: The Clan Name Length Conundrum
Before getting too excited about long names like “TheGuardiansWhoAlwaysForgetToPickUpHeavyAmmoButStillManageToClearRaidsEventually”, there is a catch. Destiny 2 has a bit of a ‘character limit’ on clan names.
You might think you’re typing your full name, but sometimes the game trims characters. For example, an 18-character name may show as 16 in-game. It’s like the game says, “We appreciate verbosity, but brevity matters here.”
Keep this in mind when brainstorming names. Shorter might be sweeter and less likely to get cut off. Test it out and adjust as needed. Nobody wants a silly name like “TheGuardiansWhoAlwaysForgetToPickUpHeavyAmmoButStillManage.” Some may enjoy the irony, but you get the point.
While We’re at It: A Few Clan-Related Tidbits
Since we’re discussing clans, let’s touch on other clan-related questions that might pop up in your mind.
Bungie Name Shenanigans: Changing Your Personal Tag
Clan name changes are sorted. But what about your Bungie name? Want to ditch that embarrassing name from 2019? Good news! You can change your Bungie name too.
Go to bungie.net, , and head to your Profile Settings. Within “Identity Settings,” you’ll find the option to change your Bungie name. But there’s a catch. You can do this only once. So choose wisely. Consult a psychic or at least your clanmates before deciding. No pressure.
Clan Size Matters (Up to a Point): Member Limits
Ever wondered how many fit in your clan? Well, Destiny 2 clans can hold a maximum of 100 Destiny s. That’s a big enough army for multiple raid teams. If you hit that limit, it’s time for ‘roster adjustments’ or starting a feeder clan for extras. Clan politics, am I right?
Laying the Foundation: Creating a Clan from Scratch
For new players thinking of starting their own path, creating a Destiny 2 clan is key. First up, you need a Bungie.net at least 30 days old. Bungie isn’t letting any newbies create their empires yet. Patience, Guardian.
Once you clear that age hurdle, set up your clan profile. Choose a name (make it good), a motto (make it catchy), and decide on hip rules. Will it be open to all or invite-only? Think of it as setting up a digital clubhouse but with more explosions and less strange smells.
Who’s in Charge? Clan Roles and Responsibilities
Clans in Destiny 2 have a hierarchy. Clan Founders create the clan. Then you have Clan s, trusted lieutenants. Founders and s can invite new players to . You can send out invites in-game or through the Destiny Companion app, because Bungie enjoys options, even if they feel redundant at times.
And speaking of customization, it’s more than your clan name that you can tweak. Destiny 2 has improved its character customization options over time. As Forbes mentioned in an article “Six Years Later, ‘Destiny 2’ Will Let You Change Your Face And Gender“, you can even adjust your Guardian’s appearance nowadays. Not quite plastic surgery, but it’s a start. You can dive deeper into this character customization as TheGamer explains in their guide “Destiny 2: How To Customize Your Character’s Appearance“. So, from your clan’s banner to your Guardian’s face, Destiny 2 offers many options to express yourself, or at least your shooting aliens self.
So there you go, Guardians. Everything you need to rename your clan and some extra clan knowledge for good measure. Now go forth, rename with confidence, and may your new clan name confuse (or at least amuse) your enemies.
