A team led by YouTuber Datto completed the raid “Last Wish” in Destiny 2 after 24 hours of continuous play. However, they were 2 minutes short of the coveted reward.
This was the prize: Bungie had something special in store for the new raid “Last Wish”. There are three tiered rewards for teams that complete the raid quickly:
- For the first winner, there was a belt – Redeem snagged that
- Every team that completes it in 24 hours receives special emblems
- And anyone who finishes the raid before the reset can purchase a jacket from Bungie
Who raided? The perhaps most well-known YouTuber from Destiny is Datto. He is playing with his clan “Math Class”.
It’s a small, self-ironic joke. Since Datto came from WoW and compared to other YouTubers is more academic, he has the reputation of approaching the game scientifically in long guides. He is considered somewhat of a nerd and explainer of Destiny.
That’s why his clan is called “Math Class”.
The team was surely eager to complete the raid “Last Wish” within the 24 hours and snag the emblem. Therefore, they didn’t take long breaks, but kept pushing through the night.
Only 2 raid teams get the emblem
The tragedy then: They did complete the raid in 24 hours but were exactly 2 minutes over the time limit. So no emblem for the Math Club.
Only 2 groups received the emblem: The world-first killers Redeem and a second group around Gigz. Even star player SlayerAge and his team only succeeded after about 30 hours.
The moment must be immortalized
Fans want a reference: The fans on Reddit now demand an item from Bungie to honor this attempt for all eternity.
Their suggestion is a weapon called “Two Minutes Too Late.” The lore text could read: “But I was only 2 minutes late to math class.”
Such an honor would be better than any emblem.
Loser takes it with grace: Datto himself comments on Twitter with a mix of pride and melancholy. “Two minutes missing for the emblem. That feels bad. But third place in the raid race isn’t bad.”
Besides, Datto goes pro: 67,000 viewers at peak – that’s by far the highest concurrent viewer count he’s ever had.
Datto thanked his team and Bungie for a “bastard of a raid” before he fell exhausted into bed.
His fans grant him the break but promptly remind him to get back to work: The raid guide needs to be on YouTube.
