When Exo Guardians die can they still be rebooted as regular Exos?
Example:
Cayde-6's ghost gets blown up
Cayde-6 gets blown up
Cayde gets rebooted as Cayde-7, like any other Exo, but is no longer a Guardian.
Can this happen?

No mainly as said because the tech is lost. If the apocalypse happened tomorrow and 75 years later someone found a computer they would never be able to get it rebooted. Especially if the physical knowledge was destroyed as Clovis brey got the smack down on mars and Venus. So the know how just doesn't exist. Frankly that seems kinda dumb though. Obviously there would still be exos in the town's across the solar system and in the wild that were defunct. You would think the city would have an entire team of cryptarchs dedicated to getting in there and learning everything possible.

No However, if Cayde were to be undamaged or suffer from a nonlethal injury he would still have his Light and be a Guardian. Unfortunately no one would be able to rebuild him properly because of the loss of knowledge on Exos after the Collapse So if Cayde were to die, he could not be rebuilt or even rebooted in the case that enough of his body remained intact. I’m relatively sure that even during the Golden Age that once an Exo was dead it was dead for good because a human mind isn’t exactly an easy thing to rekindle (although I️ will point out that the fact Exos used to receive memory wipes proves that their data reserves are phenomenally good so it may have been possible to revive an Exo back in the Golden Age IF its important parts were intact. But the people of the Last City also seem to have forgotten how memory wipes work, so we’re lost there too)

I din't believe so. Resurrection and reformatting/resetting are different processed. Resetting wipes their mind of all memories, which does not occur is a ghost resurrects them. So, if they die, they can't be repaired, so they can't be reset. I think. Exos are a mystery, dude.

7 RepliesYou're asking like anyone at bungie has the answer, they dont. The ones who do, they all left. At this point there are people in #lore who know more about destiny, than its current writers.

6 RepliesSo with the example of cayde 6. He was originally a human who was turned exo, against his will iirc. The first cayde exo was just called cayde, now the reason he has the numbers following his name is due to the number of times his mind hasbeen "reformatted". This only occurres when an exo has a mental breakdown (iirc it's more of an existential crisis to bring a Android with a all the memories of their life). Now each version of cayde loses a part of himself, wether that's mommies ( most common) or personality, look at banchee-44, he's not all there anymore. As for exo construction, Clovis brey was the company that did all the exo experiments, since they are non existent anymore, we are unable to build more exos. I hope this helps

They just need to replace the little mouse that once ran in the wheel where the exos heart should be.
-
I wonder if they get decapitated...can their heads get plugged into something and they can come back "Online".
-
In before Cayde is actually Rasputin😈

I have a topic in #lore that answers this and many other questions. I'll see if I can find the link. No one knows how exos work. The only ones that can be repaired after major damage are exo guardians. Their ghost performs the task. No one else has the technological know-how. Working on frames is one thing. They are nowhere near as advanced as an exo. Also, an exo mind can not be transferred to another body.

Completely different things. Say Cayde 6 learns the Krabby Patty formula, so Ikora has to wipe his mind clean, making him Cayde 7.
-
I have to read the lore more but are guardians the physical representation of their ghosts? That would explain To me why guardians are muted now.
-
1 ReplyGood luck getting an answer. This is the first salt free post that I've seen in weeks. Without the ghost I would say he's just Cayde-7.

2 RepliesIf the ghost is killed then the next time the guardian dies this will be the final death. I’m assuming this goes for all races including the Exos. But given how little we know about how they were made or what causes a reboot to happen who knows?
-
1 ReplyCayde gets blown up His ghost reconstitutes him Cayde's robot body has a crash He has to be rebooted I guess
-
it depends if he was built with a working backup unit or not
-
Reboots and dying are totally separate things.
-
If a guardian dies, regardless of race, their ghost can “reanimate” them using nearby matter. The only time an exo’s number changes is when they get rebooted completely.
-
6 RepliesSomething similar to this happened to the Gunsmith. In lore, he's apparently up to his 27th or 8th reboot by now. Every time, he remembers a little less of before. If you want to know more about this, you might want to look into that.

1 ReplyNo, because that's not "balanced" and doesn't contribute to a competitive push for PvP.

Edited by WiErDScIeNcE11: 12/12/2017 3:29:42 AMDepends how destroyed the exo body is, if it’s memory storage unit is not damage to badly, then I would see no issue with putting it in another body, however, I’m not a 100% sure on how Exos tick, so I maybe terribly wrong.
-
Rebooting is that of memory, not physical bodies. Cayde blows up, he dies.
-
I'm actually kinda curious if they can

2 RepliesEvery time an exo dies it comes back as an eververse item. And the ghost comes back as a buyable ghost shell.
