RIP Cayde-6: Your favourite Hunter has now left the Tower for good with Destiny 2's big Forsaken patch

Yesterday, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bungie rolled out a huge, 35GB p🐼atch for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Destiny 2, introducing core restructures to the game in preparation for the launch of its Forsaken expansion next week. Fans had known about this long in advance, and were pretty sure of all changes involved in the update, including the tweaks to modes, weapons, and the user interface. But Bungie left out one small, yet hugely significant detail right until it released the at the last minute, where a single line simply reads ꦡas follows: "Cayde-6 has left the Tower to investigate disturbances in the Reef."

Yes, everyone's f🤡avourite hunter is no longer in Destiny 2's main social space, leaving his usual nesting spot without so much as a cursory goodbye hug. The character's impending demise has been heavily telegraphe♐d in the lead up to Forsaken, but many were assuming Cayde wouldn't actually depart Earth until expansion launch day. Instead, Bungie has sent him off to The Reef in advance of the inevitable, leading to a big showdown with new baddie Uldren that will naturally set off the chain of events leading to Forsaken's story campaign. 

to see players already posting their eulogies), this development also means that Guardians can no longer acquire or redeem Treasure Maps and Scout Reports from him as a vendoꦰr, though it's unclear if anyone will take over th🏅at role once the character finally bites the bullet next week. 

For those angry at Bungie for ripping Cayde-6 away from them too soon, the studio did cont📖extualise his excursion by posting to Destiny 2's online lore hub. The first is a letter from Cayde to Ikora and Zavala, in which he explains his decision to secretly go and check out The Reef, "staying there for a few days to help out our old pal Petra Venj with a few things." 

Below that, there's an coded SOS message from Petra asking for his help. Ostensibly it's a nice little set up to Forsaken's story, there's more if you dig deeper. Taking the first letter of each sentence from Petra's mail uncovers a secret message: "'FIKRUL ALIVE DISTRESS CALL FROM ILLYN'." , in case you didn't know, is one of the new Baron bosses that you'll face down in Destiny 2: Forsaken, while is an Awoken adviser to , Queen of the Reef and someone who veteran Destiny players will be more than familiar with. But what does🌳 it all mean? 

Naturally, Bungie's staying cryptic as ever, but I'm sure we'll learn more once Forsaken launches for PC, PS4, and Xbox One on September 4, which will sadly also officia✤te Cayde-6's death for good. Be still my beating, Guardian hea💜rt. 

Destiny 2 is one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best FPS games to play right now. See what others you might be missing out on.
