In the MMO shooter Destiny , the Seventh Column is a kind of inside joke from Bungie, but also one of the hardest medals to obtain. It’s a kind of Penta-Kill like in League of Legends – and then a little more.
“Seventh Column” is a kind of inside joke at Bungie that spans various games. The Halo Nation wiki, for example, talks about it describing the “7 Steps to World Domination.” However, the 7th step “take over the world” has been stuck for some time. The symbol for it (on the right) can be found in various Bungie titles as a hidden inside joke for those in the know.
In Destiny, “Seventh Column” has brought some fame as a PvP medal (left). This is an achievement that most people may not even know of. To achieve it, you need to eliminate 7 enemy players in a short time. And that in a game where you play maximum 6 against 6.
The medal indeed requires you to kill 6 players and then also catch a freshly spawned enemy a second time. Only then are you worthy of the “Seventh Column.” Such performances are even rare for top players. But occasionally, it does happen:
Exceptional moments in Destiny grant particularly rare medals
As you can see, the stars must align in a special way for it to work: Enemies should ideally not fight back, teammates should not steal kills, and then especially strong PvP weapons, heavy ammunition, and a charged super help with the details.
For such successes, skill is the basic requirement, and then special circumstances or a good portion of luck come into play. In any case, this medal is probably even rarer than the one for the flawless raiders. For absolute top players, earning this medal is equivalent to a moment of glory.
