To change your Sparrow’s speed, you’ll need to go into the Sparrow item itself within your inventory. There will be two options in the first column: Custom Drive and Tuned Drive. The Custom Drive option provides all the perks and benefits of the fabled Always on Time Sparrow; the Tuned Drive option is the original setting for the Sparrow.

The change comes after a lot of complaints from the community regarding the inequality of Sparrow performance. All Sparrows were, for the most part, created equally, except for Always on Time. This Exotic Sparrow dropped from the Scourge of the Past Raid. Like many things from that era, the Raid was put into the Destiny Content Vault, thus locking out players who had never obtained it.

Despite not having SRL in Destiny 2, the additional speed is a welcome addition, especially for speed-intense sections likeDeep Stone CryptandGrasp of Avarice. Just ensure to take your suped-up Sparrow for a test run first as it can take a little getting used to.
