In Destiny 2, the exotic fusion rifle Cold Heart was presented to the wrestling giant “The Big Show.” He was pleased with the gesture, as he was only interested in codes.
The wrestler “The Big Show” is 2.13m tall, weighs 167 kg, and is an enthusiastic Destiny player. This is not a PR stunt; The Big Show is genuinely into the MMO shooter. This has been known since 2014: The Big Show has repeatedly voiced his opinions on Twitter and is a passionate Hunter player who, like many others, struggles with RNG, curses Xûr, lives for the community, and gets annoyed about other classes and their super abilities.
The Big Show is therefore “one of us.”
Destiny as a relief for always having to be nice
For The Big Show, gaming is a break from everyday life; the giant doesn’t just have to grab people by the neck, lift them, and slam them onto the mat in his day job – he also has to be nice to all the fans, smile, and give autographs. So, Destiny is pure relaxation.
At E3, The Big Show had the opportunity for a casual conversation with Pete Parsons, the head of Bungie, in front of an audience. The whole thing was an amusing PR exchange that gave the giant a chance to showcase his “mic skills.”
The Big Show struggles with the same issues as every Destiny player
Highlights included statements like:
- “I don’t use cheese spots… well, not that often!”
- “It’s a great opportunity for Destiny movies… and you definitely need a giant Hunter.”
- “I hate Titans because they always destroy me in PvP; you run around the corner, and the Panic Fist comes flying at you.”
- “When you do a weekly activity and end up with 3 strange coins while the guy next to you, who has been hiding in the cheese spot the whole time, gets an exotic… totally fine by me. I mean, he needs the exotic weapon… I’m just waiting for Xur!”
Exotic weapon Cold Heart presented
The highlight was when The Big Show asked the Bungie head for “codes”; there must be something that can be done. Parsons then said, “I’m really tired of this now,” and pulled out an exotic weapon, a fusion rifle, and presented it to “The Big Show.”
He hugged his new favorite and said: “You have never seen a 2.13m tall, 167kg nerd cry… but soon you will.“
Details about the exotic fusion rifle Cold Heart are not yet known – some suspect it might have some sort of “freezing effect.”
A few years ago, Bungie made another Guardian happy with an exotic weapon:
