In Destiny 2 on March 5, the race for the World’s First in the raid “Vow of the Disciple” has begun. The winners of this race are already known. Participating again is the Twitch streamer and YouTuber Datto, who has been fighting for first place for years. But this time, another group beat him to it.
Who won the race for the World’s First? The Twitch streamer Saltagreppo and his group were the first to complete the new raid in Destiny 2.
However, the race was very close. As users on reddit report, the group led by the German player ExBlack was about 10 to 20 minutes ahead in the final encounter but failed for too long against the final boss, which allowed Saltagreppo to take the victory.
Datto is said to have completed the raid just three minutes after Saltagreppo with his group.
This is particularly bitter, as Datto has been narrowly missing the World’s First for years.
Datto narrowly misses out on the World First, already a meme in the community
How narrowly did Datto fail? Datto is known in the Destiny 2 community as the “explainer bear.” He shares his impressions of new content on Twitch and publishes guide videos on YouTube. For years, he has also participated in the races for the World’s First. However, he has yet to secure first place.
As a screenshot shows, they were short by 3 minutes and 15 seconds (via Twitter). They lost this time during a wipe, which the players shared as a video on reddit.
If this had not happened, first place would likely have been secure.
What is special about Datto? Datto has been fighting for the World’s First for years but has often encountered bad luck.
During the raid “Crown of Sorrow” in summer 2019, he experienced his most bitter moment. A bug made it seem as though he had won the World’s First after clearing the raid. But shortly after, it became clear that another team was four minutes faster.
In 2018 during the raid “Last Wish,” there was also drama, as Datto and his team were just two minutes short of at least securing the belt for the raid. The belt is awarded to players who complete the raid within the first 24 hours. However, his team needed 24 hours and 2 minutes.
Group of German streamer lacks 2%
How did it go for ExBlack? The group around the streamer from Germany was reportedly ahead of Saltagreppo in the final boss fight. However, there was a wipe at just 2% remaining health of the boss.
This setback caused the group to ultimately have to concede defeat.
Who is the winner? Saltagreppo is a Twitch streamer and YouTuber for Destiny 2. Together with his group, he creates raid guides and defeats bosses with fewer people than normally required for a raid.
He completed the raid in 7 hours and 14 minutes and was officially declared the winner by the developers.
Raid receives praise, but there were also bugs
How is the raid received? Both Saltagreppo and Datto have spoken positively about the new raid. It is said to be among the best in Destiny 2. However, there were also some issues.
There are reports of bugs in the raids that prevent loot chests from appearing when defeating a boss.
Additionally, there were error messages and server problems around the launch of the raids, as the developers themselves stated. A temporary queue for players without a season pass or expansion was briefly introduced.
This queue has since been disabled.
