Bungie showcases humor and honors weapons that turned the Crucible upside down in Destiny 2 with their own emblems. Players particularly enjoyed the emblem that was available during the time when the Prometheus Lens dominated everything. If you can’t recall whether you participated in PvP during a small time frame in December 2017 and thus earned the emblem, you can now check with a tool.
What are these emblems? In the Crucible of Destiny 2, there are always weapons that stand out as particularly powerful and popular for a time. However, there are also guns that are unintentionally overpowered and terrorize players.
Two weapons are sure to come to players’ minds immediately:
the Prometheus Lens and Lord of Wolves.
The Prometheus Lens, a counterpart to Coldheart, completely turned PvP upside down for a weekend during Curse of Osiris in December 2017. Bungie seemed to enjoy the dominance of the Lens at the time and even put it in Xur’s inventory. This caused players to shoot only with the Prometheus Lens, earning the weekend the nickname Laser Show.
The shotgun Lord of Wolves is currently a terror for players on PC. It has particularly benefited from a previous sandbox adjustment and can take out Guardians in their Supers with just two shots thanks to the perk “Release the Wolves”.
Bungie is now commemorating the two OP weapons with new emblems. If you played PvP during the corresponding time, you can collect them at the upcoming reset. You can quickly check if you qualify with a tool.
How does the tool work? Bungie has revealed the exact times that Guardians had to play to receive the emblems. While most players should remember whether they participated in an Iron Banner match for the emblem with Lord of Wolves between 7:00 PM on June 18 and 7:00 PM on June 25 or between 7:00 PM on July 23 and 7:00 PM on July 30, it becomes more challenging with the Prometheus emblem.
To earn the emblem “Prismatic Inferno”, you had to complete a Crucible match between 7:00 PM on December 8 and 7:00 PM on December 12, 2017, and experience the terror of the Prometheus Lens.
You can easily check if you qualify with an online tool. On this page, you can find the “Destiny 2 Historical Heatmap”, which allows you to see when you engaged in various activities in Destiny 2. Just follow these steps:
- Open the website with the heatmap
- Enter your gamertag
- Select “Crucible” under the “Filter Heatmap” option, and it will display only the days you were in the Crucible
In the overview below, you can see when and how long you participated in the respective activities – here the Crucible – based on the colored areas. So if you find a colored area anywhere between 7:00 PM on December 8 and 7:00 PM on December 12, 2017, you can be sure that you qualify for the Prometheus emblem.
How to obtain the emblems? Players who qualify for one or both emblems will find the “Lost History” package in their mailbox after update 2.5.2 on July 30. This unlocks unique triumphs through which the emblems will be awarded.
Players who have not yet qualified for the Lord of Wolves emblem can still do so until the upcoming Tuesday, July 30. The current Iron Banner event is still taking place this week.
Players who were not part of the Crucible in December 2017 will unfortunately miss out on the Prometheus emblem. Whether it will be available later through other means is still unknown.
