In Destiny 2 there are some selfless guardians who do a lot for the community. One of them stands out in particular. The streamer ‘Luckstruck9’ owns the most important checkpoints of all raids and dungeons and gives them away for free to players. We will show you how he does it.
Who is the hero? Luckstruck9 often streams Destiny 2 on Twitch. He hails from the USA and with his 5,514 subscribers on Twitch (as of 08.08.22) he is a rather small streamer. Nevertheless, Luck supports other players in activities like raids and dungeons and explains these to them in his Sherpas.
To expand his help even further, the streamer looked for a way to possess all important checkpoints of raids and dungeons at once. Consequently, he now owns a total of 11 Stadia accounts. We will show you how he achieves this.
This gives guardians the chance to start again from where they left off, but only until the weekly reset has occurred.
What are Sherpas? This refers to players who are very good at something in Destiny 2 and instruct the uninformed and newbies in raids and dungeons. They like to take their time and help wherever they can.
11 player accounts full of checkpoints thanks to Stadia
How did Luckstruck9 come up with the idea? PCGamer spoke personally with the kind-hearted guardian and asked him how he started helping guardians. He mentioned that he initially only offered his checkpoints through LFG sites.
However, to save power and resources, another solution had to be found, and that’s where Stadia came into play. With Stadia, the guardian can maintain a total of 11 accounts and that only on one desktop. Luckstruck9 uses an i7-7700k processor with 32GB RAM and no integrated graphics card.
To manage all this, the Twitch streamer uses a macro, and he says:
We use a macro that sends some inputs to Stadia and then continues with the next window until all inputs have been sent in a specific cycle. Then the macro simply returns to the first window and starts the process again.
The community shows its gratitude: Luck himself says that this business of checkpoints is an expensive one. When a new DLC or dungeon comes out, he has to buy it for all accounts as well. He can’t manage that in the long run, and that’s where the community comes into play.
The streamer explains that he only had to spend money for his first five accounts. The remaining six, as well as upcoming content, are funded by the guardians who benefit from the checkpoints. So he doesn’t have to spend another cent on it. The act of funding comes voluntarily, and no one is forced to do so.
Can I also get checkpoints? You can also pick up checkpoints from Luck, you just need to join his Discord server. He doesn’t ask for anything in return but emphasizes that he would appreciate a follow on his channel. Otherwise, you are free to secure the checkpoints.
What do you think of this action? Do you think it’s cool that a “checkpoint” guardian exists? And will you access it yourself, or will you earn your stages on your own? Let us know in the comments!
