| ==Gameplay==
| |
| While players will explore many areas of Earth in the long-term ''Destiny'' storyline, the first major location is Old Russia. Specifically, Guardians are first revived by their [[Ghost]]s just outside the devastated ruins of the [[Cosmodrome]] in [[A Guardian Rises]], and explore its surrounding area—a real-world site in modern day Kazakhstan that has long been the launch site for the Russian space program. | |
| | |
| Old Russia has five [[Gold Chest]]s. Finding them all will unlock an Uncommon [[Sparrow]].<ref name = "Beta">'''Bungie (2014-7-17)''', ''Destiny: Beta''</ref>
