Currently, players are hunting streamers in Destiny 2, known as Bungie Bounties, to snag a coveted emblem. Those watching the livestream can see when the bounty starts and also participate. However, the Bungie Bounty target LeopardStealth tricked everyone.
There is an emblem in Destiny 2 that can only be obtained through a special event. You can earn it through the so-called Bungie Bounties. This gives you the unique opportunity to play against or with named YouTubers, Twitch streamers, or even Bungie employees. If you manage to join the designated activity with the target person, you will receive an exclusive emblem in Destiny 2.
- The Bungie Bounty event has existed since Destiny 1.
- It is international and assigns targets all over the world.
- The named bounties are spread between Crucible and Gambit.
- Only those who manage to get matched with the target and win the game automatically earn the special emblem. It doesn’t matter whether the Bungie Bounty was on your team or not.
The first target of the Bungie Bounties on November 8 was streamer LeopardStealth. He didn’t want to make it easy for the players and trolled his community with a nasty trick.
This is how the streamer trolled Destiny 2 players: When the Twitch streamer LeopardStealth became the target of the Bungie Bounties on November 8, he already had a master plan. He didn’t want to be “caught” easily and had prepared a little trick for that.
Before it started, he had already recorded the mode selection and player search of the Crucible. He then laid this over his actual livestream.
While the Destiny 2 players were unknowingly “sniping” his Twitch stream and waiting for him to finally join, Leopard was already comfortably playing his PvP match and grinning to himself. As a result, anyone trying to join his Destiny 2 PvP match was unable to participate in time and thus could not earn the exclusive emblem.
After the prank, it continued live: After his little fun, he casually pushes his recording aside to put on his virtual sunglasses again. The bewildered fans had fallen into his trap.
Of course, the chance for the emblem was possible again afterward. A large part of the chat on his Twitch channel constantly demanded clear proof of his matchmaking in real-time. Many enjoyed it, and the gag was well received.
What does the community say about his troll action? He definitely created a great highlight of the Bungie event and brought many laughs with his action. The players didn’t hold it against him that he initially fooled them.
Player Hatter, the Heat Miser Legend commented on the action on Twitter:
Lol, you were one of the best bounties to watch. […] And you had FUN. That’s what it’s all about. […]
Petexnasty adds in the same thread:
Oh, they must have been really angry, I absolutely love that!
Definitely, his action was refreshing and a great inspiration for future Bungie Bounties to come up with something for the event as well. After all, it should not be too easy when hunting for an exclusive emblem.
How long does the action last? In the current TWaB (via bungie.net), targets marked for you to hunt are still available until November 20.
Have you managed to snag a bounty and secure the emblem? What do you think of the idea of Bungie Bounties? Is this an interesting event for you?
