A raid team from Destiny has made it into a special edition of the Guinness World Records. But no achievements from Destiny 2 are recorded here, rather an insane 60-hour raid from Destiny 1. The team defeated all raid bosses without dying or using weapons.
In which Guinness book are the players? They are in the “Guinness World Records – Gamer’s Edition 2019.”
Gamerant is now reporting on this after the Destiny YouTuber Th3Jez tweeted the entry.
60 hours of gaming bring fame and glory
What record does the team hold? The record is for “The 1st team to defeat every raid boss in Destiny 1 without using a weapon or dying.”
This is the record entry: “On May 14, 2017, a team of raiders completed the epic quest that required “precise planning” and “careful strategies.” The team was led by the Redditor “GladHeAteHer182, aka Gladd.”
A total of 12 players contributed to the attempt, as participants swapped their places to give each other the much-needed breaks during the 60-hour endeavor.
Gladd announced the success back then: “We were 5000 times so close, but one way or another didn’t make it. But still, our perseverance led us to victory – finally.”
What’s behind this: The group defeated every raid boss with a heavy handicap: without dying, without using weapons or taking breaks, they aimed to complete every challenge.
They emphasized that they only used each relic and other mechanics at a boss to fulfill the raid mechanics, not to deal damage to the boss.
We reported on this record in May 2017. It is now officially in the Guinness book. How the record attempt exactly went down and how the bosses Atheon, Oryx, Crota, and Askis fell is described in the article from back then.
What is Gladd doing today? The raid leader from 2017, Gladd, is still active in Destiny 2 today. He is considered an exceptional player.
Gladd was part of the clan “Redeem” team, which was the first to defeat the raid “The Last Wish”. Recently, he spent wonderful times in the current raid “Scourge of the Past”.
Other teams from Destiny have also made it into the Guinness book, but there wasn’t quite as much craziness involved:
