The world of Destiny 2 is full of details. Some of them are easy to see, others are well hidden. And there are also some that have hardly been noticed by anyone so far. We show you 10 things you surely overlooked.
What happened? When the content runs short, many Guardians pass the time in other ways. Some compete in speedruns through the raid, others play PvP, and some go on an exploration tour through the world.
The Reddit user Relatively_Pointless has now compiled 10 things that have likely gone unnoticed by most fans – if at all.
And these are well received by the fans. Numerous Guardians set out to see these details for themselves in the game or are now looking for other cool little things that might have been overlooked.
Have you noticed these 10 things in Destiny 2?
The Iron Temple Reflection: If you enter the Lost Sector “Star Light Chamber” in the Dreaming City, you will encounter an interesting reflection at the end of the sector.
The floor on the platform by the final boss’s chest is wet and reflects. But when you look at the reflection, you curiously do not see the ceiling of the cave, but the interior of the Iron Temple on the Felwinter Peak.
What this reflection is about is still unknown.
Lord Shaxx’s weapon: Many fans have wondered what hand cannon the voice of the Crucible uses. Clever fans have conducted extensive research and concluded that it is the Lord High Fixer from Destiny 1.
This hand cannon was once one of the best hand cannons in the Crucible in the predecessor.
The vault in the Tower is animated: In Destiny 2, you can immediately tell when someone is using a vault. When a player is interacting with the vault, a login screen is visible at the vault itself.
Also, in the room below the vaults, orange lights light up when they are being used.
Special lost sector in the Wirrbucht: In the Lost Sector “The Empty Tank”, the Fallen don’t just dance to the music of Paul McCartney, they also have a well-stocked armory.
There you will find all sorts of legendary weapons from Destiny 1 at the end of the Lost Sector, as well as two shields from Sentinel Titans.
These Fallen not only have an extravagant taste in music, but also likely have quite a few Guardians on their conscience.
The original form of the SUROS Regime: The popular exotic auto rifle SUROS Regime is known to many not only from Destiny 1, but also has been part of the Guardians’ arsenal in Destiny 2 for quite a while now.
The blue-white-red ornament Handstreich reminds many veterans of the Destiny 1 version of the weapon.
But that’s not entirely correct. It is actually the version of the SUROS Regime first shown in 2013, which was presented to the public during a ViDoc.
The first weapon of your Guardian: The Khvostov auto rifle should be well remembered by many veterans. It is the very first weapon that your Guardian gets in Destiny 1. Later, this iconic gun was even brought back as an Exotic.
This weapon has also been immortalized in Destiny 2. During the first mission, there is a whole box full of Khvostovs. Also, in the EDZ on Earth at the Fallen camp near the Niobe Labs, a Khvostov is prominently leaned against a rock. However, you cannot take this good piece with you.
The legendary tree from the Destiny 1 Tower: Many Guardians should still remember this tree. It stood on the vault side of the tower and served many players as a popular jump spot.
Anyone missing the tree doesn’t necessarily have to log back into Destiny 1. In the strike “Savathûn’s Song” just before the first relic, there is exactly the same tree also in Destiny 2. After all, Bungie is known for resource reuse.
Difference between legendary and powerful engrams: What many Guardians do not know – you can clearly tell the difference between a regular and a Powerful engram at first glance.
Powerful engrams have an ascending aura, similar to exotic engrams. This is not the case with the regular legendary engram.
Ammunition spawns belong to the Vanguard: Gambit and the Crucible are standalone modes with their own rewards and symbols. But when it comes to heavy ammunition, there seems to be no way around the Vanguard. Because the ammo crates from which you get the coveted supply all bear fine Vanguard seals adorning their sides.
Weapon models of the Golden Gun: Hunters using the Golden Gun super have different weapon models when activating their ultimate attack.
The top sub-focus uses The Last Word as a template, while the bottom skill tree is the model of the Eyasluna, one of the best hand cannons in Destiny.
If the Hunter uses the helmet Heavenly Night Hawk, the corresponding weapon model of the exotic hand cannon The First Curse from Destiny 1 looks suspiciously similar.
