In Destiny 2, some Guardians recently experienced a strike of a different kind. More than 20 players landed at the boss and took him down quickly.
This is how strikes usually go: Strikes are a type of mini-dungeon in Destiny 2. Essentially, they are slightly longer missions designed for smaller teams. However, the maximum number of players is actually limited to 3 Guardians. If you want to team up in PvE with more than 3 Guardians, you have to resort to raids or the Menagerie.
However, the Reddit user and Destiny player C_Lav604 now reports of a strike experience of a different kind that happened to him during the Season 11.
Player lands in a strike with more than 20 other Guardians
Guardian reports on a special strike experience: C_Lav604 shared a special moment on Reddit that he recently experienced while playing Destiny 2. He had just logged into the game and was initially on his way to the Tower as usual. However, he never arrived there.
After Destiny 2 took a while to load, he found himself unexpectedly in the strike “The Corrupted” – with already 3 other players. Shortly thereafter, one of the 3 left the strike, but C_Lav604 decided to continue the strike with the 2 randoms.
When he arrived at the boss arena, things took an unusual turn. Neither the boss nor other Guardians were visible. However, when he took a quick look around, he discovered more than 20 Guardian names above him. Suddenly, the boss music started playing, and the final battle began. At the same moment, over 20 Guardians were teleported to C_Lav604 in the arena.
What followed was a real slaughter fest. Supers were everywhere, and within seconds, the usually most frustrating strike boss lay defeated. The more than 20 Guardians grabbed their loot and celebrated together for a moment before heading back to orbit.

How did this happen? This experience is certainly unique but not entirely new. Players have occasionally reported that they – apparently due to errors during the matchmaking process – end up in the instances of other groups. Thus, strikes, raids, or other activities can sometimes be tackled with more players than normally intended.
What do other players say? On Reddit, many players appreciate this experience and celebrate it. Within about 11 hours, the corresponding post has already received more than 2,300 upvotes.
Many a Guardian wishes for exactly what C_Lav604 experienced – namely PvE activities that go beyond the usual team sizes and allow for large-scale battles in strikes, escalation protocols, or even during patrols. This wish has been circulating in the community since Destiny 1.
Some hope for truly challenging versions of strikes or raids, where they can team up with more players. But what do you think? Have you also had such extraordinary experiences? Would you like to see more players or larger teams in the various activities of Destiny 2? Would that fundamentally change your gaming experience?
