Destiny 2 Clan Guide — How to Create a Clan, Recruit and Get Rewards

The short version: You create a Destiny 2 clan on Bungie.net (not in-game) — it's free, requires a name/motto, and you can start solo then recruit up to 100 members. Clans give weekly rewards (clan engrams, XP bonuses, the seasonal clan banner) and make the endgame dramatically easier via LFG-with-friends.

This guide walks through setup, recruiting, and the rewards.

Why Join or Create a Clan?

  • Weekly rewards: Clan engrams and XP bonuses from completing clan activities with members.
  • Endgame access: Raids/dungeons are designed for groups — a clan is the built-in LFG.
  • Clan banner: A cosmetic (and rewards-track) banner.
  • Community: Clan chat, regular fireteams, sherpas (teaching runs).
Solo players should still join one

Even solo players benefit: many clans are "casual/solo-friendly" — you can join one for the rewards and never speak, or find active LFG groups. Clan membership is free.

How to Create a Clan (Step by Step)

  1. Log in to Bungie.net with the platform account you play on (link your Steam/PSN/Xbox/Epic).
  2. Go to the Clans section → Create Clan.
  3. Fill in: clan name (unique), motto, and optionally a description.
  4. Choose your clan type (casual, PvE-focused, PvP, etc.).
  5. Create — you're the founder. Invite your first members by name or share your clan's join link.
The founder rules

The founder has full control (kick/promote). You can rename the clan once set up (with limits), and there's no cost to create — but Bungie does enforce clan-name uniqueness and a cooldown on some actions. Invites require the member to accept via Bungie.net or the game.

Recruiting Members

  • Direct invites: Send invites to friends by their Bungie name (in-game or on Bungie.net).
  • Join link: Share your clan page URL — anyone can request to join; you approve.
  • Recruitment channels: r/DestinyClanFinder, the Destiny 2 LFG Discord, and the Bungie forums' clan-recruitment section.
  • Clan size: Up to 100 members. For a casual group, 10-30 active players is plenty; 50+ supports scheduled raid groups.

Clan Rewards (What You Actually Get)

  • Clan Engrams: Weekly rewards for reaching clan XP thresholds (with clan-mates).
  • Clan XP: Playing with clanmates earns XP toward weekly clan engrams (up to 4-5 per week).
  • Clan Banner: The seasonal banner with its own XP track and cosmetics.
  • Guided Games: Clans can host guided raid/dungeon runs (the game's built-in sherpa system).
