I never really had issues everyone is having with ammo accept when I switch from Hawthorne's shotty for bathers to sins of the past for doggos when it just goes to zero ammo.

I just get two awesome guns in power and kinetic and switch between them.


Chest ghost is worthless once you realize you get Jack poo poo after the fifth one. Unless it's Titan because that is just jam packed with chests since the entire world is just made of nooks and crannies to put in chest

I also get the element kills because at least with that I can eventually get purple mods.

Chest ghosts are good because if you're just dicking around doing public events or lost sectors, it doubles the amount of tokens you get even with the throttling

They have them, I have a resource ghost for Io but no chest ghost for Io. The 10 dusklight without the ghost was real dumb, but it did kinda highlight just how much of the EDZ you blow past on your sparrow going from public event to public event because there's literally no reason to go exploring, so 90% of the environments go unseen and unused.

The beast handlers have a VERY high chance to drop power ammo so as long as you switch before entering the gardens and killing the beasts before you start the encounter it's very, very easy to max out on sins ammo.

They already exist. There's also a mod that gives you a chance at bonus faction tokens on a planet.

The old "Vault of Glass" Grimoire card is also very <thinking emoji>, and is written from Pahanin's perspective as well. It showcases how fucky interacting with the Vex can be.
I thought it was a cute vehicle for delivering clues on the raid mechanics back when Bungie did that through Grimoire.

There was a whole lot of "easter egg" speculation about the Oracles once upon a time, because someone figured out that the Templar's oracles "sing" distinctly in C-Mixolydian:

This D1 jumpship owned, too:



I wouldn't be surprised if that theme was worked into the general Vex themes from Destiny 1, Marty O'Donnell used to be pretty big on that kind of thing. Most of Halo's music (especially 3) was all tied into that E Pentatonic Scale they used in the opening theme, and a version of said scale was used to unlock the I Would Have Been Your Daddy Skull, too.

also salt is dumb dated meme but I got an Ego And Squid and BOY OH BOY am I happy.

Agreed. I have gotten neither so far, but I'll see if I get anything cool this weekend.

I hope they do an AoT-style "wrapup" at the end of the Destiny 2 arc so we again have a full Eververse catalog.

Hell, for that matter, I wish the expiring seasonal things just got added to a "catalog" somewhere where we could still give Bungie microtransaction dollars for them, even if they were out of the RNG rotation.

I'm sure Bungie's whales out there would gladly pay Silver for the memey Exotic Salt and Ramen for years to come. They're almost missing out on easy money by removing such great stuff from RNG...

On the other hand, saying something is going away is more likely to get a bunch of people to dump money on silver now to try to get it, rather then hoping they'll RNG one in the longterm from free engrams.

lol that it's called Ego and Squid

I devote way too much personal RAM to Destiny lore. It tickles me in ways that only my favorite scifi authors do. I have tenuous grasp on cryptography and music theory at best, which is a bummer considering the kids of things Bungie historically likes to do in their games, but rest assured you're in good company for lore rambles.

It's rather transparently designed to push people towards spending real money for bright engram junk. Best to ignore the whole thing; popular emotes get overused to the point where nobody really notices them.
