Some VERY unknown things about Destiny...

1. The Bad Juju's rounds will ricochet sometimes 2. Explosive rounds on some guns provide ricochet. 3. Splinter Mines are reskinned oracles. Yes, they are. Shoot at them with any oracle disruptor weapon and it will deal bonus damage. 4. Some people might not know that tapping down on the D-pad after sitting makes your character stand up. You don't need to move to stand up again 5. You can troll people in the crucible by putting your Gjallahorn, thorn, TLW, Suros, black hammer, fatebringer, anything that is above legendary and good in PvP. Wait until the match ends, then transfer these weapons using the web app. It will show up in the kill feed that you recieved them for completing the game, and should fool a few people :) 6. An acolyte's shredder is built off the needler, a weapon in the Halo series. 7. A fusion rifle has 7 beams when you fire it, and shotguns have 10-12 pellets. 8. In the lighthouse, on the let from the spawnpoints, you can go below and find where a human died fighting vex. 9. In the tower bar (In the hangar) you can find a music player. It is being repaired by a workman in yellow uniform and when activated, plays random songs. 10. (Patched) A shoot to loot exploit meant you could shoot an ammo box multiple times and receive more ammo than you would if you picked it up. 11. Vacuum also involves engrams, and vehicle pickup range. 12. The traveller is a giant egg. If you watch that cutscene where it is first discovered on mars by cosmonauts, it is round and white. However, if you look at it now, you can see that it is cracking open, with what looks to be a machine inside. 13. Mutated bats are near the endless steps on venus. 14. The bones of Eao are ahamkara bones, and the description is defy extinction, meaning some ahamkara might have survived, explaining ahamkara on venus. 15. You get more xp from killing enemies higher level than you, and less for killing lower enemies. So killing a level 2 dreg = 20 xp, but a level 18 cabal legionary = 50 xp. 16. Supers can travel through hobgoblin shields, so a radiant warlock can kill them through their shields. 17. It takes 5 firebolt grenades, 3 fusion grenades, or 10 solar grenades to pop a titan's bubble, radiant warlocks. 18. When you go into the upgrade section for the bad juju and the 3d model pops up, the 4 bones are all new and perfect. However, when you aim, the bones are broken and twisted. 19. Patience & Time's shots sometimes pass through the target. 20. This is super good advice. SGA's shots are best for oracles, splinter mines, and the oversoul, because they will keep coming back. 21. The record for the most kills in Vanguard playlists is 322, and the holder has blessed us by commenting! 22. The Jade rabbit emblem is actually from a real Chinese legend. One of their mars rovers is named the jade rabbit as well. 23. Citizens sometimes give good advice, for example sometimes they will say "You should buy better gear" if there is gear better than your currently available. 24. EXTREMELY rarely, Eva Levante can give bounties for scanning bushes. 25. A patrol mission with a circle and 4 dots around it is a VIP mission, rewarding more xp for killing a level 1-4 target. 26. If you jump in the air with the peregrine greaves and shoulder charge is selected, then spikes come out and the greaves glow. 27. The ram can survive this in pvp: A shoulder charge with no peregrine greaves Two sniper bodyshots A final round bodyshot A sticky grenade 2 Melees 28. There is an old, dusty and non working ATM near the Vault of Glass. It is vaguely red. 29. The stranger's rifle's perk is called rewind for a reason. It is enhanced mulligan. 10% chance, sometimes puts 6 rounds back, and activates when you hit. 30. SGA once fired the same bullet 19 times. 31. In crucible, are you a radiant warlock, waiting to use his self res in the middle of the enemy team? Or a bladedancer, just about to wreak havoc? Your supers involve you getting close, right? Look at the gamertags and the level number, if it is flashing, don't go near them, because they have their super. Also useful for bubbles, so the nova bomb doesn't take you as well. 32. On previously 2 magazine rocket launchers before tripod, for example Exodus Plan RS/1, tripod will not affect your heavy count, instead it will still be two shells per heavy pickup in PvP. Edit: Please leave suggestions and/or corrections down below! Your feedback will be put in, so you could be helping that newbie complete the black garden, or crota! I will update every few hours! 33. Annoying bladedancers ruining your K/D? Shotgun to the head, melee and maybe a grenade should kill them. 34. If you move fast enough when they hit you, sticky grenades fall off. 35. For those of you wondering the stickiness rating on the sticky grenades, here they are. Fusion grenades have the most stick Flux grenades have a medium amount. Magnetic grenades ironically have the lowest amount of stick. 36. The highest encountered error code is weasel, and least is honeydew. 37. In TTK, you can only have one special move. So you will always have dance, sit, point, and wave, but only one can be upgraded. 38. Mask of the third man's eye colour changes depending on gender. 39. An insumountable skullfort can only change colour if you are female. 40. If you are wondering why the blades are gone, then you are slightly dumb. If you killed Crota, why would they still perform rituals to him? They are there, because they could perform rituals to summon servants of crota (Blades), and if Crota is dead, they wouldn't serve him. 41. Acolytes can jump about 5-10 metres, thralls can do 5, and other hive cannot jump, only fall. 42. Enraged enemies have more defense and higher attack. 43. Dregs are vandals. Yes, it is true. Dregs are vandals stripped of their armour, weapons and rank because of crimes. So everyone back at fallen planet is a vandal, but dregs are criminals, thieves, so they are demoted, and sent to war to get a better reputation. If you don't believe, read grimoire and http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dreg 44. The servitor ball in the reef can be hit into walls. You deal about 5 damage, but eventually, after screams and colour changes, it will explode. 45. The people that decided to farm Kaliks-12 for those treasure keys and exploit him... well done! Kaliks got sad and used self-res and became kaliks reborn, the most annoying PoE boss 46. You can occasionaly fight a Pilot Servitor in the PoE 28. 48. If you go into the crucible playlist selection, and go back out again, then enter again, the characters in the backround change. 49. You didn't realize I skipped #47 50. Occasionaly on the archer's line on the moon dregs come along with their pikes. 51. In Combined Arms, you can shoot the shield protecting the front of the operator's head off, rather than go round. 52. Suppressor grenades can stop supers, including a knight's wall of darkness. They can also stop a titan or nova bomb warlock if they are in the middle of the animation in which they activate their super. Very hard to do, however, but it freezes them midair, so they are just frozen there for you to dance with the shotgun. 53. T-Bagging gives you a tiny bit more super energy, because crouching gives super energy, and if the player you T-Bag is a 7-13 year old (Very common right now in the crucible), it gets them angry, so they cannot concentrate, and effectively become worse. 54. TLW's range extends to 100 when ADS, another glitch. 55. Thorn's bullets are actual thorns. 56. In the ember caves on venus, after about 5-10 minutes of looking around in caves, you will find a heavy pike. Works like a normal pike, but if you use RB and LB (R1 and L1 I think on PS4) or whatever the strafe buttons are, it launches a tracking mine. 57. Stay away from those shock grenades that walkers and skiffs deploy. They track you as well, and are a 1 hit kill. 58. Sometimes, the house of winter and house of kings ally. 59. Commander Zavala occasionaly quotes famous generals, like Genghis Khan. 60. Xur is a jovian. He is one of the few humans that went further than the awoken, and were transformed just a bit more dark than evil. Explains why he always trolls us. 61. In the Omnigul strike, whilst travelling through Skywatch, ever noticed the Protector Of the Will yellow-bar enemy spawn? Well, he is level 4, but you may not know he is part of the strike. If he was the level the strike is, he would be immensly hard. 62. Ever been taken by surprise by waves of enemies in the Omnigul strike? Well, she screams when she spawns them, just as a heads up. 63. In the Omnigul strike, whilst decoding the door to get into the area where you fight Omigul, Eris Morn will say this if a player meets the demands: Has the most kills Highest K/D Summoned his ghost for the door She will say "The traveller released the ghosts in it's dying breath... To open doors..." 64. On Crota's end raid weapons, if you squeeze the trigger, the green parts will glow. 65. If a hunter is wearing the Celestial Nighthawk and aims down sights, the eyes of the helmet will glow. 66. RNG works of a very strange basis, explained here. Today, in crucible, someone got Universal remote, he had 0.32 K/D, and the next game, someone got Gjallahorn, with an 0.09 K/D. RNG in destiny runs off this: If a player is performing poorly, it could be because the quality of his weapons is poor, so it rewards him with better stuff, to help him do better. 67. The player with the most hours played in destiny is 4,032, then 3,894, then 3,802. Funnily enough, these players all have negative K/Ds, and terrible stats (Top 70% roughly) Sorry, I've run out of space. Will continue another time. Hope you guys enjoyed this and learnt something!

  • Your number 21 is wrong, if I interpreted it properly. My most single game kills in a strike is 1138 on my Titan.

  • I believe the Ram can survive a single Golden Gun shot as well, full health and shield, and without Celestial Nighthawk.

      Sniper Rifles have two charging handles, one unused one connected to the bolt (visible on the gun's left side) and one for manual cycling (which the player uses during the reload animation). Aiming while crouched behind low cover will put you in a semi crouch, allowing you to shoot targets with a low profile. Amanda Holiday, the shipwight, is the least used vendor. While the Last Word is fan fired, it is still in fact double action (where pulling the trigger draws back and releases the hammer). Try pulling the trigger slightly with it, the hammer draws back like all other hand cannons. And an unofficial one, Lord Shaxx has some similarities to Shaquille O'Neill. For one, he is significantly taller than the other vendors and guardians and Shaquille is 7' 1". Also he wears white armour with red detail, similar to O'Neal 's Miami Heat jersey. And finally his name, Shaxx, sounds like the shortened form of Shaquille-- Shaq (Lord Shaxx + Shaquille O'Neal = Shaxxquille Lord'Neal). Fishy but highly unlikely.

    • Something similar to 63 happens on the Taniks strike. Not sure what the requirements are and can't remember what he says, but Variks chimes in with something funny right before you get to the room with the grav-lift.

      13 is false: The flying "dragons" on venus are NOT Ahamkara's. They're called baladactyls: flying dragons native to venus. Ahamkara's are as large as mountains. After they were hunted to (near) extinction they started to hide. A good example of how large one is is by starting the mission the wakening i believe. At the end where you fight the crotas crystal you can see the bones of an Ahamkara. I dont believe that that is an adult though. Also did you know that you pronounce Ahamkara as aa-hem-car and not aa-ham-car-a. Ahamkara is a hindu word. [spoiler]btw i copied this from my comment to the post ''weird destiny facts'' orso[/spoiler] Also super good advice's exotic perk also works well on detainment shields (VOG and Qodron)

        1 & 2: ALL guns ricochet sometimes! It's a % chance static on all weapons that can be increased by things like Volatile Light & the ammo type that mentions it. (Not explosive, though it's debated they do provide flinch or better damage. Depending on who you talk to the response may well be both.) 19: Snipers universally have the capacity to pass through Guardains. I know Westlo recently one a Trails match with one bullet on a Benevolence that wasn't rocking Armor Piercing. 46: He's a possible encounter in the challenge tiers as well up to Round 4 50: Also happens in the Ember Caves on Venus and the Forgotten Shores on Earth 51: You forgot to mention the Turret, quick edit to be made yes? 60: Xur is actually some entity that requires a host Human to persist as we see him. He references his host via dialogue. Excessive use of third person and memories that are not his included. "Some of the cells in this body began on this world, how strange to return."-example. 64: Reminds me, slowly pulling the trigger on HandCs pulls back the hammer and aligns the shot in the cylinder with that of the chamber. 66: RNG is RNG, in the first run of the Daily Crucible game the reward possibilities are stacked for higher performance.

        • 43. I find the concept of "Reaver Dreg" quite flawed. Dregs must earn the right to become Vandals again. Surely to become a Reaver Dreg they have already surpassed the criteria to become a Vandal?

            • Celestial night hawk's eyes glow when you aim down the sights. Universal remote has a small flashlight that activates at the end when you aim at a player at very close range. Fist of havoc deals more damage when you land it directly on an enemy in mid air and have the aftershock perk active. Enemies can shoot your grenades out of the air.

                    • 25 is wrong. Patrol missions: Circle with 4 dots - kill x number of anything Triangle - kill certain mobs and collect pyramids Ghost symbol - scan something Compass symbol - stand and survey at certain point for short time Star in circle - VIP bounty ( which you have improperly identified in your list)
