A bug in Destiny 2 currently shows Saturn and the Dreadnaught from Destiny 1. Many players would be happy to return to Oryx’s ship and are coming up with theories about what the Dreadnaught could be doing in the game right now.
We have already reported on the bug in Destiny 2 that shows Saturn and the Dreadnaught from Destiny 1 instead of Titan when approaching. The phenomenon was easily replicated by several players by joining friends who were currently completing the heroic adventure on Titan. Why are Saturn and Oryx’s ship appearing in Destiny 2 now?
Bug shows Saturn and Dreadnaught from Destiny 1
What kind of bug is this? Several players on the Destiny subreddit have reported that during the approach sequence, they see Saturn and the Dreadnaught when they try to join a friend on Titan. The music from The Taken King is also playing – the expansion in which the Dreadnaught was introduced.
How can you see the Dreadnaught? Two guides have been presented on the Destiny subreddit that are said to reliably trigger the bug. Still, Saturn or the Dreadnaught do not appear during every approach. You will need a bit of luck as well. If you only approach Titan, you can still hear the music from the Dreadnaught there.
- Method 1: Have a friend start and begin the heroic adventure. While you do this, fly to the Tower. When you arrive at the Tower, join your friend in the heroic adventure on Titan.
- Method 2: Land on Titan and then go back to orbit. Your friend should now start and begin the heroic adventure. Now join your friend.
On Reddit, players are certain that the appearance of the Dreadnaught has to do with the fact that this week the Flashpoint and thus the heroic adventure are on Titan. If you want to experience the bug yourself, you should try it before the next reset!
The Guardians have a lot of theories
After the Guardian AlanahNahNah opened a post on Reddit about the “Saturn bug”, more players quickly came forward who had experienced the same thing. Theories were also discussed about what the appearance of Saturn and the Dreadnaught could mean.
It’s just a bug: Some Guardians suggested that Destiny 2 is likely just built on the predecessor and therefore has many assets carried over. So it could simply be a bug.
Others counter that the asteroids, the Dreadnaught, and Saturn look much more detailed than they did in Destiny 1.
A PvP map is coming on the Dreadnaught: User Breshii spoke up and claimed that a Crucible map could soon follow on the Dreadnaught. He extracts the audio files from the game and claims to have come across the music of the Dreadnaught from Destiny 1 along with the PvP sounds.
There were already two Crucible maps on the ship in Destiny 1: The Dungeons and Cathedral of Dusk.
Some Guardians now believe that with the upcoming Festival of the Lost, the Halloween event, a new Crucible map could be added on the Dreadnaught.
Saturn and Dreadnaught as DLC or expansion: Another theory is that Bungie is already preparing for the next DLC or expansion and is already adding some assets for upcoming content in Destiny 2. Guardians hold on to the idea that the post-credits scene of the base game of Destiny 2 indicates the order in which players will visit further locations.
After the awakening of the Traveler, its light fell on the following locations: Mercury, Mars, Reef, Saturn, and the Dreadnaught, as well as a distant part of the universe where the mysterious pyramid-shaped ships are waiting. We have already visited Mercury, Mars, and the Reef in exactly that order. So next, Saturn and Oryx’s Dreadnaught should await us.
While some players assume that we will see an expansion around the ship in year 3 of Destiny 2, others hope that one of the DLCs from the annual pass will take us back to this region. According to the developers, the contents of the pass will take place not on any new planets, but rather in smaller “location bubbles”.
Do you have a theory as well? Why are Saturn and Dreadnaught already present in Destiny 2?
