Exotic weapons in Destiny are gaining popularity. Now a Lego builder has recreated the iconic hand cannon “The Last Word” using over 300 Lego bricks.
The exotic weapons in Destiny are the centerpiece of the game. Each of the weapons has its own kind of story. Signs of this are only sparsely found in the form of words and stories in the game. They are reflected in the look and design of the weapons, in their names and concepts. In the few words of text for each weapon, stories are meant to arise in the minds of the fans.
Well, one has become a bit martial at times, especially with the naming. On the US site Polygon there is currently a somewhat tongue-in-cheek quiz where players have to decide whether a dark-sounding name belongs to a weapon in Destiny or to a Swedish heavy metal band.
Anyway, Bungie has even invented fictional weapon forges and companies, of which the exotic weapons are considered the crowning achievements and masterpieces.
The anachronistic hand cannon “The Last Word” is a homage to the Wild West. When fired, the Guardian holds one hand over the trigger to increase the firing speed. This method of firing is also known as the “fanning” technique, where the trigger is repeatedly pressed down. And this in a world where otherwise pulse rifles, fusion rifles, and cluster rockets determine who lives and who dies.
The look, the design, the feeling of the weapon have already made it a fan favorite early on. And the fact that it is an absolute killer in the Crucible, the game’s PvP mode, has certainly not harmed its reputation.
Anachronistic overkill, anyone? Sci-fi game, Wild West weapon, YouTube of our time:
This weapon has now been recreated by a Lego specialist using over 300 Lego bricks. For this, he has used pieces from various settings.
Much of the bling-bling on the side of the weapon comes from a Lego set of “The Lord of the Rings.” This may also explain the somewhat unusual inscription. While in the Destiny version of “The Last Word” the manufacturer “Tex Mechanica” is displayed, on the Lego The-Last-Word, runes from the Lord of the Rings universe are prominent.
Even the yin to the yang of “The Last Word” has received a spectacular recreation.
