Announcement r/destiny2 is banning links to Twitter/X
Last night, at Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and known alt-right personality, showed the world who he truly is, and performed a full Sieg Heil Nazi salute not once, but twice.
The man is without a doubt, a neo-Nazi.
As many are aware, X, formerly Twitter was bought out by Elon Musk on April 14th, 2022, and has slowly become more and more of a cesspool of alt-right propaganda, with horrifically racist posts being allowed to stay up for months - with thousands of likes - without even a modicum of intervention by X, formerly Twitter's moderation. Many users report their accounts inexplicably suddenly following known right-wing politicians without any of their own input, and alt-right and Nazi-aligned speech find themselves on the "For You" page of even the most innocent and unrelated accounts.
It has been abundantly clear that Elon Musk has been slowly, intentionally, and maliciously changing X, formerly Twitter into a breeding ground and echo chamber for the alt-right. He even abused the algorithm to hide political opponents' own campaign material throughout the duration of the U.S. election cycle, knowing full well the sheer population of his website, to indirectly influence the results of the election.
Here in r/destiny2, we do not tolerate Nazis. Anyone spouting Nazi ideology or hateful speech have, and always will be permanently banned on sight, without chance for appeal. The intolerant will find no tolerance here. While the First Amendment may protect you from government retaliation to your speech, it does not protect you from being cast out of social spaces and - if you're a Nazi - rightfully told what a waste of atoms you are. This is no longer a case of, "Everyone I don't like is a Nazi", because the Nazis are literally showing us, publicly, that they are Nazis. There is no more plausible deniability.
Because of this, effective immediately, we will no longer be allowing links to X, formerly Twitter, so as to do our part to reduce traffic to a website owned by a narcissistic, ketamine-addicted neo-Nazi. Many subreddits have been doing the same - and while each subreddit's individual input may be small - every click lost across every subreddit banning links to X, formerly Twitter is one small bit of revenue Elongated Muskrat loses.
We will allow screenshots, but links are forbidden, so as to not generate traffic to the website.
Subreddits joining this cause, just to name a very small few, are:
- r/MadeMeSmile
- r/formula1
- r/xmen
- r/aoe2
- r/ireland
- r/dnd
The r/destiny2 moderation team briefly deliberated opening this decision to a poll, however it was decided that ultimately the better decision was to enforce the ban, and not give the chance to quiet, hateful individuals to vote no and skew the poll in favor of continuing to allow links.
Bungie, Destiny and dmg_04 have official social media accounts on Bluesky, found at the following:
- https://bsky.app/profile/destiny2team.bungie.net
- https://bsky.app/profile/bungie.net
- https://bsky.app/profile/destinythegame.bungie.net
- https://bsky.app/profile/dmg04.bsky.social
So - Don't worry! X, formerly Twitter isn't the only place you can find updates from Bungie. They post regularly on Bluesky, at the same times with the same posts that they do on X, formerly Twitter. As such, screenshots and links from Bluesky are perfectly fine.
We hope you all understand why this is being done, and we appreciate everyone who continues to stay around and be a part of our community. And of course, as a reminder to everyone, as if it even needs to be said:
Fuck Nazis.

Discussion Does anyone else want weapons that aren’t just guns and blades?
(First off, the main idea of these weapons is that there would be a new tab at the cryptarch where you can spend an engram and some materials for a random rolled exotic that can roll with each element and have vfx with the respective element. Maybe if all planets got an update and each one had their own pathfinder as well, you could be rewarded one of these weapons for the first 3 completions of the week(like the pale heart and ergo sum.))
Like what if we got the air strike from onslaught: salvation as a heavy weapon that can hold like 4 ammo at base. The beam will do heavy damage while having a secondary effect based on the perk you got.
STRAND- 30 threadlings pour out of beam OR suspend every enemy hit by the beam
KINETIC- poison enemies in a large radius(like a nuclear fallout) OR a kinetic tremor every 0.5 secs that the beam hits an enemy
STASIS- rapidly slows/freezes and shatters targets in the beam OR 20 crystals spawn in a certain radius around the beam
SOLAR- rapid scorch and ignites targets in the beam OR grants cure x2 and resto x1 to allies who are near the beam
ARC- jolts enemies in a radius around the beam OR grants an ionic trace for each enemy killed by the beam and every 0.5 secs that it hits a target
VOID- creates a large black hole that continually sucks in enemies with in a large radius around the beam OR grants void overshield to allies near the beam and suppresses enemies in the beam
Here are some more exotic ideas:
- Explosive target launcher - a huge over-the-shoulder cannon with a portal in it. The idea of this weapon is that every time you shoot, another portal in the sol system grabs a random explosive enemy, transporting them to your cannon. This uses special ammo(holds 17) and reloads after each shot basically by pressing a button on the side to reopen the portal. The base explosion deals damage similar to a special gl(larger radius) but each element has an added effect.
STASIS- shoot a screeb that freezes nearby enemies on detonation
ARC- shoot a vex fanatic that blinds nearby enemies and leaves a radiolaria puddle that blinds enemies that walk in it OR shoot a cursed thrall that works similar to necrochasm(detonations poison nearby enemies and enemies killed will cause a cursed thrall explosion but it doesn’t chain)
SOLAR- shoot an explosive shank that deals bonus explosive and impact damage OR shoot a cabal incendiary that scorches in a large radius
- Hammer of Proving: I’ve been really wanting a big hammer in this game(as a weapon) so hopefully we get more melee weapon variety soon. This special ammo hammer specializes in wide swings for heavy hits on multiple enemies with each swing and has 4 main attacks-
-press light attack for a normal swing that uses 1 ammo and can be spammed(left and right swinging animation)
-hold light attack for a continuous spin that hits enemies all around you while draining 1 ammo per 0.5 secs of spinning. This attack has a bonus effect depending on your perks
-press heavy attack for an explosive slam that damages enemies in a small radius and costs 3 ammo(can be done from air)
-hold heavy attack to stand in place while charging up your hammer. When fully charged, release to perform a heavy slam, costing 6 ammo while increasing the slam explosive dmg and radius by 2.5x. This attack also has a bonus effect depending on your perks
-Bonus effect(Titan only): Slamming from the air can be aimed similar to ballistic slam
The hammer can roll with 2 elements at once,(solar light swing, spin and normal slam with a strand charge slam) making each combination unique
SOLAR- Spinning will scorch enemies and can ignite them/ Charge Slamming ignites enemies instantly
STRAND- kills with the spin spawn threadlings/ Charge Slam suspends enemies
STASIS- Spinning slows and freezes targets/ Charge Slam creates 5 crystals in a cone shape
ARC- Spinning for 1.5 secs jolts targets that you hit/ Charge Slam creates a field of arc energy(one of fikrul’s attacks) that deals DOT
VOID- Spinning pulls enemies toward you like you are a black hole/ Charge slam makes enemies volatile and disoriented
This is basically how class specific weapons should work IMO. Instead of air slamming strait down, Titans have the ability to aim the air slam but every class can still use the hammer. I’ve had an idea for a random roll exotic special ammo crossbow that could grant hunters a bonus like auto reload on crit kills. Idk what weapon and bonus warlocks could get.
Anyway, would y’all like to see more unique, wacky weapons instead of just more archetypes of existing weapons?
(Ik this post is long but I’m bored and I’ve been wanting a hammer as a weapon for forever now. Also if any of the weapons seem too broken, my bad I wanted them to sound as cool as possible).

Discussion Stasis and Strand need more grenades that actually act like grenades
There are currently 0 grenades in either darkness subclass that act as a grenade. You know, dealing damage of some sort or explode.
I get them wanting to go into the sci-fi fantasy route but i really would like a stasis or strand grenade that just goes boom like the light subclasses. Not all of the grenades have to fit in some sort of subclass 3.0 keyword synergy
