General Information

Sparrows are fast, hover-bike vehicles that travel on land. It is the main form of transportation in Destiny. Players can access their Sparrows after summoning their Ghosts. The vehicles function similar to mounts in other online games, allowing players to cover long distances in short time.

Players can change their Sparrows by equipping a different one from their inventory page. Players can purchase different Sparrows from the Shipwright in The Tower. The rarer Sparrows have better stats, they have more durability, speed and boost.
