How to give and receive commendations in Destiny 2

Kindness never goes unnoticed.

In an attempt to facilitate positive interactions in Destiny 2, Bungie implemented a commendation system for matchmade activities. At the end of a multiplayer match, you have the option to commend another player, letting them know that they were fun to play with. You can even view how many commendations you've received, for a little pick-me-up. To increase your Guardian Rank to seven, you have to give and receive a certain number of commendations. Come join us as we explain how to give and receive commendations in Destiny 2.
