Players have discovered the ins and outs of Skimmers, and have realized that they’re far stronger than Sparrows.
“They can jump, they can grind on strand-rails (basically, once activated you create a rail to grind on and never lose height unless you jump off) and the energy they use is tied exclusively to these moves, not the boost,” one Reddit userposted.
Some areexcitedto see what new tech Guardians can combine together, allowing for the highest skill ceiling movement in Destiny 2.
“Gotta say after ten years I don’t think a strict increase is the worst thing in the world, can’t wait to see what people get up to with the air grinding, grapple, and eager edge stuff.”
Others discovered glitches that allowed them to fly with the Skimmer, making them even stronger than Sparrows with Sparrow Flying.

With Skimmers being a brand-new addition to Destiny 2, it’s likely we’ll see more cosmetic variants and more in the future, truly cementing it as the top option for movement in Bungie’s looter shooter.
