You Can Now Link Your Amazon Alexa To Destiny 2 And Ask It To Equip Weapons

In one of the weirdest cross-overs ever, Amazon’s home help device Alexa can be hooked in to Destiny 2 and you can ask it for advice or equip your weapons. It sounds nuts but also incredibly useful, I hate having to faff about and change weapon sets when jumping between PvP and PvE.

Here’s some examples of things you can ask Alexa when you’ve linked up your account.

• “Alexa, ask Ghost who are the Red Legion” – Ask and receive unique dialogue lines that will expand your knowledge of the Destiny 2 worlds and characters you’ll encounter on your journey.
• “Alexa, ask Ghost what to do next” – Based on your progress inside the game, you’ll receive unique recommendations for things to do inside the massive world of Destiny 2 in real time.
• “Alexa, ask Ghost who is online” – Send messages to friends, find out who’s online and ready to play, and stay on top of Clan progress without having to turn on your PS4, Xbox One, or PC.
• “Alexa, ask Ghost to save my Raid loadout” – Ask Ghost to save your current weapon and armor as your favorite loadout for specific activities; Strike, Crucible, Raid or Nightfall. You can ask Ghost to remember a loadout for each of your characters to save you time equipping items or transferring into your inventory.
• “Alexa, ask Ghost to equip my Strike loadout” – Once you’ve saved a loadout, you can ask Ghost to load it to the character you are currently playing with.You can only equip a loadout outside of gameplay (e.g. in orbit, in social spaces, on loading screens or on character screen outside a game mode).
• “Alexa, ask Ghost to equip my best Void weapon” – You can ask Ghost to equip your best weapon based on the power level of the your available weapons across all characters. You can ask to equip based on damage type (Void, Solar or Arc), as well as Kinetic, Energy or Power. You’ll also be able to chain these as well as using weapon types (sniper rifle, hand cannon, etc.).
• “Alexa, ask Ghost to rally my Clan for a raid” – Ghost will message your Clan via the Bungie companion app.The companion app is available on both iOS via the App Store and Android via Google Play.

There’s also a limited edition speaker which looks like a Ghost, so you can have that sat beside you while you play. Amazon have pre-orders for the speaker and an Alexa device for £129.99.
