A Destiny 2 ARG launched practically two years has lastly been correctly solved.
The Destiny 2 enlargement, Warmind, added a very difficult puzzle that gamers by no means really solved in the best way it was supposed. It’s solely becoming that now could be the time it will get solved.
Warmind, after all, centred round dormant Earth defence system, Rasputin, which can play a task within the upcoming Season of the Worthy. Perhaps this was Bungie’s plan all alongside.
The authentic search was triggered by a logo gamers noticed inside a Rasputin bunker, who later realised that six ciphers are required to determine precisely what the image is pointing to or making an attempt to say. Only 5 of these had been discovered, nevertheless, with the sixth brute-forced by reverse engineering.
The puzzle result in real-world location in New York, the place gamers discovered a stash of coins, a spear resembling Rasputing’s Valkyries, and a message from developer Vicarious Visions congratulating them. Vicarious Visions is predicated round the place the cache was present in upstate New York, and the studio, after all, developed Warmind, again when Activision enlisted the assistance of different studios to help Bungie in content material creation.
Now, after two years, gamers found out the lacking cipher the precise method. The “Mechanized” cipher was solved by aiming the reticle of the Sleeper Simulant Exotic fusion rifle at a very suspicious diamond form on a warning signal at Clovis Bay. Sure sufficient, the diamond on the wall matched the one in Simulant’s reticle, and the dashes on the precise spelled the phrase “Mechanized.”
