Blue for Male Green for Females like in Splinter Cell Did you know you can kill yourself by standing in water and shooting your foot. Dam splash damage. -delQUAD Did you know that [b]Thorn[/b] can stop Crota's shield from regenerating? Did you know: Destiny has colorblind modifiers that if you're NOT colorblind are awesome to use to change the color of engrams and markers on the radar. I prefer the first red-green one, it makes friendlies on the radar purple and enemies yellow, and it makes green engrams brown. -OoBullettarget ... before HoW drops, edging rep of all factions to within 50 points of the next Rank, cashing in 5 saved bounties from [spoiler][/spoiler]the day before (while swapping faction crests) and one engram for Cryptarch, can give you up to 6 packages at the Postmaster for EACH character with a chance at HoW gear? 18 packages if you have 3 characters. - MAET76 Did you know that the hammer on hand cannons works like an actual pistol hammer when you apply different levels of pressure to your trigger on the controller? Confirmed for PS4 users that use default controls. - GreenGorilla Other guardian's level indicator flashes a yellow/gold when their super is charged. When the level is replaced with !!! it means their shields are down. - ScribeTheMad Did you know if you crouch behind cover and push LT, you will pop out of cover and go back to cover once out of ADS. - TheRZAector If you crouch with stalker on and then hit the dance button you will still go invis. - FloydsDarkSider Did you know that if you [b]Jump off your sparrow[/b] then [b]Crouch [/b] and [b]Wait for your invis [/b] then [b] get back on your sparrow and still be invisible?[/b] perfect for nightfalls and all around guardian work If you shoot a grenade (tripmine/lightning grenade etc.) With Red death or bad juju ( or any weapon that has a proc on kill) you'll get your health back / free reload respectively. -ManaStick If you summon a sparrow and hop off. Hop back on and press dance while in the first second of the animation. This will make you dance on your sparrow! Sparrow surfing for the win! May take a few tries guardians. - OG Thrall Did you know you can use your ghost to open up doors that don't normally open Just summon you ghost next to a spawning door - or door that doesn't normally open - Shadow Did you know that by holding Y or Triangle during the end screen for an activity, you can go back to orbit before the prompt appears? Took me months to realize this. - Jarron White You can survive the oversoul by standing in a armor of light and blessing of light bubbles. You can also survive a single slam from crota if you have armor+blessing+radiance that reduces incoming damage. - Haunter DYK, you can control what side of the sparrow you get off by flicking the left joystick to the side you want and getting off right after? - HaYnMoGLi Did you know the number next to an Exo's name indicates how many times their memory has been Wiped? Did you know on Oracles when the oracles appear to show where they spawn, you can kill them? Did you know that on Venus, chests can spawn on walls? Did you know the Vendor sparrows upgraded are faster than Raid Sparrows? The jukebox in the tower can play the Destiny Theme on a Banjo. The Archon Priest can teleport off the side of the map very occasionally and walk around on Air. The gatekeeper spawns above the crystal room on Crota Normal. - Kaiser Wilhelm Did you know..... In PvP, if your character is sitting down, he won't get hit by a tracking axion bolt. Darugis Did you know that if your radar has a red hollow ring around the centre, it means the enemy is either above or below you?- Snowy_EffiGy Did ye know that Super Good Advice ammo does not deplete when fired at Oracles? Perfect for VoG Atheon Cp same for Crota's over soul -PuSsHy32 Did you know that if you equip shatter on nova bomb, you can control how spread your three nova bombs are? Just flick right to make it tighter and left to make it farther spread. :-) - Lieutenant_Veers Did you know that in the black garden, rain drops rise from puddles? - BoneMonkey115 Did you know the green triangular symbols that appear on the side of Bad Juju also appear on Thorn? When holding Thorn take a close look at that little green triangle, look familiar? It has the same formation of lines intersecting at the center. This symbol can also be found on the tower most notably near the Speaker. - Varzin Did you know When you switch off your console after playing destiny. Your characters chill out on their sofas, switch their consoles on and play you - NovasGlow The exclamation marks don't mean shields are down (don't think we even have shields) - they simply indicate that the Guardian is under. - I Wear Clothes Did you know? Your HUD is slightly curved to emulate the effect of it being on your visor screen. - Charlemagne This is for people who didn't know Did you know you can razors edge through a defender bubble - Noel the Kell Did you know that the mines in PoE are just re-skinned oracles? -The One and Only Did You Know...

RRRRREEEEAAAAALLLLLOOOOOODDDDDDIIIIIINNNNNNGGGG[/u][/b][/i]- Kaato Did you know you can shoot Fusion Rifles into the left waterfall pond on your way to the Forgotten Shore and the rounds will create a light show and remain there for a few seconds? You can also shoot Gjallarhorn rounds into the same pond and have a close up look at them? Throw different types of grenades in there and watch them spin around... Throw a Hunter's blade in there and watch it spin for a few seconds? You can glitch through the map in the Mothyards by riding your sparrow under a particular plane wing whilst boosting until it explodes? At the Steppes, you can ride your sparrow like a Jet ski at a certain point in the map. You can glitch into the Tower hanger and watch ships land up close. You can fly across the Tower and land on the top of the Vaults and flag pillars. If you haven't tried these things, give them a go... Just for sh!ts-n-giggles. -xenomorph Did you know The robots walking around the reef get errors codes like we do? Stand next to one for a while and you'll hear "Error code caterpillar"-Kellogs Did you know that Skolas is wearing Ahamkara skulls on the back of his cape? They were given to him from the Nine, along with his own Ketch. -Dontalay The Rams perk can activate on enemy ghosts as well as anything with a hit box (grenades, explosive barrels etc.) With the dregs promise pistol, you can make it shoot one or two bullets only depending on how fast you can Sprint or reload after shooting. With the raid sparrows, you can go even faster when holding the sparrows special boost by tapping L2. The "escape artist" perk on the hunter can activate on PoE mines (perfect for them clutch plays boi) -cito1 Did you know, Rasputin is the reason why we had the collapse and why there are awoken in our sol system, aswell as people in cryogenic sleep in the area The Blast on the cosmodrome. -TheMilkman Did you know, in (old) Russia, you don't farm the loot cave, the loot cave farms you - a sunbreaker Did you know that when you're on [u]Oryx[/u] or [u]Daughters [/u] checkpoint in King's Fall rai d above the podiums if there is a light that means you don't have too stand on it Did you know...

    Did you know that because PoE mines are just reskinned Oracles, SGA counts shooting them as a miss, thus returning ammo

          the original way you were going to get exotics: SUROS Regime was known as ARCUS Regime and you could switch firing modes. Red Death was supposed to be an Auto Rifle, but the devs realized that there were less Pulse Rifles so they switched things around and the perk was supposed to heal you IF you scored a precision kill. You were able to equip any gun be it legendary or exotic way before hitting lvl 20. But in favor of end game mechanics, the devs scrapped that idea. Sniper Rifles were supposed to be on the Heavy slot and hand cannons on the special slot. But the devs felt that it didn't quite fit in for some unexplained reason. Kinda stupid this one actually. Gjallarhorn was known as Ragnarok during its first stages of development and the perk was actually called Gjallarhorn, but that changed obviously. A perk only achieved after fully leveling up a subclass granted that final bit of attributes to max out either armor, recovery, and agility. But the devs and their shenanigans scrapped the idea. When gear was fully leveled, you could purchase a final upgrade which increased defense and attack but locked out previous choices. You could equip any armor type and still be able to reach the max light level, but this never made it to the final stage of development. Khvostov 7G-02 was going to be the first stage of an exotic Auto Rifle called "Ancestor" it description was "A lost gun in a lost world. But thanks to you, it has reached the pinnacle of it's existence." One of it's perks was known as "Ancient Ally" which granted more super energy upon a kill and spawned an orb of light when scoring a precision kill. Another perk was known as "Vengeance." This perk increased weapon damage, at the cost of reload speed. Even though "Ancestor" was a futuristic version of Khvostov 7G-02, one of the sights for this gun was "The Broken Visor" which is the one we know today. Hard Light had a final perk which made it an ARC weapon, but locked out previous choices, so the devs dropped the perk. Warlocks had a final perk which made it possible to max out the recovery attribute, same with Titans and Hunters, but for Titans it was armor, and for Hunters it was agility. Crest of Alpha Lupi was going to be a reward from Alpha Lupi herself after rescuing her from the Fallen, but this along with the original story of Destiny was scrapped out. Thorn was only obtainable via Charlemagne's Vault, but it was turned into a bounty instead. Charlemagne's Vault is a raid located on Mars, below the Dust Palace. The final boss for this raid was supposed to be Charlemagne himself, a mad Guardian gone rouge and working with the cabal. Every exotic had a specific task in order to acquire them. SUROS Regime was obtainable after bringing golden age blueprints to SUROS and making them fabricate the weapon using the blueprints. Thunderlord (before the E3 presentation) was obtainable after defeating a Fallen Baron and looting his vault. Patience and Time was a gift from Cayde-6 himself after completing his final personal mission. Ikora Rey gifted you Invective, and Commander Zavala gifted you Gjallarhorn after finding the armor and weapon parts of fallen Guardians during the battle of Twilight gap. These armor and weapon parts could only be found while exploring Twilight Gap and defeating special enemies and bosses located there. Fate of All Fools was obtainable after completing the Trials of Osiris (Not the multiplayer mode) before the rework of Destiny, you must complete special trials made by Osiris himself in order to gain access to a portion of the game, this was scrapped and made into a bounty instead. Hard Light was a gift from the Reef. The Vex Mythoclast was obtained after clearing VoG (This hasn't changed). Super Good Advice could only be obtained by finding it. Supposedly, you had to hunt down Kabr and his team after disappearing all of a sudden. You would encounter them except Kabr, approaching Pahanim's corpse would trigger a cutscene explaining what happened and your guardian picking up Super Good Advice. This weapon also had a personality itself and could interact with the player and say things when shooting and killing enemies. Also, after the cutscene, you stand before the VoG, unlocking the raid in the process. Vault of Glass consisted of rescuing Kabr and fighting along side him against Atheon, he would then sacrifice himself and forge Aegis Shield, allowing your team to finish off Atheon. But after the rework of the story of the game, this was scrapped and made into a Grimoire instead. The Queen's brother is known as Crow. Before accessing the reef, you had to survive waves of Fallen in the arena. Doing so would then grant you a session with the queen and continue the story. Humans, Exos, and Awoken had different story lines. The story line we know today is from the Exo. The human story line consisted of you surviving a Fallen raid and arriving at the city, you would seek refuge at the Tower, there Ghost would approach you and make you a Guardian, for it sensed the light within you. The Awoken started at the reef, being judged by the queen and eventually exiled form the reef. You would then fight your way out and arrive to the Last City. Earth was supposed to be the last planet to be unlocked and most difficult one to complete. There are 3 factions not present in the game. There is a 5th enemy race, supposedly the one with the triangle ships. The Fallen and the Cabal are actually allies. We can't see that because there isn't an area were the 2 races are together. The Hive hasn't encountered the Cabal and the Vex yet. The fallen is the only race to have encountered all other races. Before the rework of Destiny, Guardians had AI followers to choose from. Companions to aid you in battle. The Exo stranger, Crow, and rougue Guardians were part of the roster of companions who tagged along during missions and arena battles on the reef. Kinda how the Arbiter and SGT Johnson helped you back in Halo 3, but with improved mechanics and AI of course. But unfortunately, this was scrapped and fireteams were introduced. Still prefer AI companions... they don't go AFK during a match. (note: this fact about Talkative-9 is a rumor, so I'm not 100%, but nonetheless, I think it's hilarious. Credit goes to AftermathSoldier07) There was a funny, mysterious vendor called Talkative-9. He always appeared during missions and strikes. The role of Talkative-9 was to jump into a nasty firefight along with the Guardians and start to talk to them and offer sweet deals and items for purchase. Talkative-9 could be killed by the enemy, doing so would increase his stock prices immensely the next time he appeared, so Guardians must tolerate his annoying banter and protect him from the enemy. After clearing the area, you could then interact with Talkative-9 and see his wares. They supposedly ranged from common weapons to legendary weapons and armors. And upgrade materials. His currency was motes of light, glimmer, and materials. Talkative-9 is not an exo, he is a drone like those found in the Tower. Xur, the infamous Agent of the Nine, didn't sold exotic weapons and armor. Instead, he provided items that could increase the light level of all armors that were rare or legendary. He also sold items that upgraded weapons as well. Last but not least, Xur was the only way to fully upgrade and exotic item. He also sold materials and engrams. Bad Juju was supposed to be a VOID weapon, Last Word was SOLAR, and Hard Light was ARC. Patience and Time had a perk that allowed you to shoot ammo boxes and collect the ammo from any distance. Ice Breaker was obtainable by bringing a broken sniper rifle to Banshee-44. He would then attempt to fix it, but instead he breaks it again. But he actually perfected it, hence receiving Ice Breaker. The Last Word was obtainable by defeating Malphur in a 1V1 combat on the arena. It was part of the story, before bungie reworked it all up. Truth was obtainable by doing a special mission for the Speaker. He would give you an amulet that needed to be brought to Xur. Xur would then hand over a Launcher. Bringing this Launcher to Banshee would then be crafted into Truth. Universal Remote was only obtainable by raiding the Cabal Imperial Land Tank. It was part of the Story, before Bungie reworked the story of Destiny. Shaxx was supposed to appear along side Saladin during Iron Banner events. Saladin handed over armors and class items, while Shaxx geared you up with weapons and buffs. The lovely cryptarch... There were supposed to be 3 cryptarchs. A human and exo along with the awoken bastard we know today. You could interact with the Fallen found on the reef. There was even supposed to be a Fallen vendor. She would sell primarily ARC weapons and armors with high discipline. During a mission on the Reef, your primary objective was to escort a wounded Dreg to the queen. Failing the mission would lead to the execution of the Dreg, completing it however, would still lead to the execution of the Dreg, but you get a reward from the Queen. This was scrapped after the rework of the story. Remember that Earth was supposed to be the last planet to unlock? Well, after a mission, a cutscene shows your guardian escaping from the Reef. He is shot down and crash landed on Earth. See that big crashed ship on Earth we see today? That was supposed to be YOUR ship. After the crash, you would then have to find a new ship. Which is the same one we get when we first started Destiny. Edit: It now seems like at least [i]some[/i] version of what was mentioned above will be implemented in TTK. Yay! Edit: post was created [b]5/13/15[/b]

            • Did you know if you use the vestian dynasty and kill an exploding shank with it they won't blow up? It also works with the Mythoclast, so I'm assuming it works with all fusion rifles.

                                      Did you know destiny was supposed to be a great game until activision seduced bungie and made bungie their bitch. This led to destiny's downfall even before launch which ruined the game. [spoiler]activision strikes once more[/spoiler]
