Have you ever wondered how the famous killstreaks in Destiny 2 could look? A video answers this question and even piques Bungie’s curiosity.
What are killstreaks? Killstreaks, or kill series, are primarily known from the “Call of Duty” series. There, they reward players who score multiple kills in a row without dying with game-changing tools.
Included are, for example, reconnaissance drones, but also heavily armed fighter planes or armored juggernauts with enough firepower to make even Rambo jealous. Players can choose freely:
- Engage with weak, but quickly attainable killstreaks
- Or risk everything and end up with a lot to clean up
Killstreaks are indispensable in CoD – But how could they look in the PvP of the MMO shooter Destiny 2? A video answers this question impressively and creatively:
The YouTube channel Fragment is heavily inspired by its predecessor but translates known killstreaks into the Destiny context. After a series of kills, a pack of protectors appears, and the most famous killstreak, the AC-130, makes its appearance.
These Destiny killstreaks are fun:
- Warlock Pocket: Calls in a Voidwalker that blasts a Nova bomb at enemies and then flies away (requires 5 kills)
- Hunter Aegis: The player is protected by 3 Arcstriders, who create a wall of protection with their spinning staff and distract enemy fire (requires 7 kills)
- Titan Spear: From a distance, 3 Superman Titans thunder in, diving at enemies like a heat-seeking missile – Requires (requires 9 kills)
- Phoenix Cannon Ship: A Dawnblade equipped with the Exotic Truth flies high above the enemies and rains devastation – The AC-130 variation is also supposed to have access to a rapid-fire MG (requires 11 kills)
Bungie honors the video in a special way
This is how the clip is awarded: Destiny developer Bungie awards a community video as “Movie of the Week” every week. For this, there is a mention in the weekly blog post and an exclusive in-game emblem. This time, the sought-after award went to the killstreak video.
The YouTube channel of Fragment has just under 100 subscribers and only that one killstreak video, which has now over 14,000 clicks (as of July 25, 2020).
What would your ideas for Destiny killstreaks look like? What do you think of the idea of bringing the destructive killstreaks into the Crucible – should it remain purely hypothetical or would it add a cool touch of chaos?
