In Destiny, the Vex Mythoclast holds special significance. The exotic fusion rifle was notorious in the beginning, constantly plagued by bugs later on, and now a YouTuber has recreated it using Lego bricks.
The early days of the Mythoclast: Divine
It must have been a great feeling back then when the first Guardian received this quirky weapon “Vex Mythoclast” from Raid Boss Atheon in Hard Mode. It is a fusion rifle, actually a special weapon, that still functioned in the primary slot. What were they thinking? Back then, there were no wikis or showcase videos, the only way to learn about the weapon was through self-testing.
When the Guardian wanted to try out the weapon in the Crucible, the big surprise came: The thing just obliterated everything. Bungie had made the “Vex Mythoclast”, the only exotic weapon that could drop directly in a raid, way too strong and didn’t consider how much a Guardian would go on a rampage with it in the Crucible.
A story full of misunderstandings that is unparalleled in Destiny
The story of the Vex is then one full of misunderstandings and problems. It was nerfed, then buffed a bit again, now it is the only weapon that Xur cannot bring to the new max value of 331, and the last patch made it buggy again.
For a while now, it has not been the queen of the Crucible, but still plays quite solidly in the upper ranks, that is: until the next patch does something wrong with it again.
By the way, a bit of trivia: Mythoclast is Greek and stands for “The destruction of myths”, and you only receive the Mythoclast if you defeat Atheon. And he wields god-like powers.
And now made from 1500 Lego pieces
The YouTuber ZaziNombies has now recreated the Vex Mythoclast using Lego bricks. He does this quite often. He used 1500 bricks and even managed to get the iconic “red scope” just right. The most interesting part of the video is certainly when he takes the individual pieces off, and you can see how accurately he managed to recreate the look of the famous weapon in Destiny using improvised Lego parts that a layman would never have thought of. He used many tires this time. Impressive.
ZaziNombies has recreated other weapons, such as: The Last Word, Thunderlord, Icebreaker and the Gjallarhorn.
