Reddit user Mr_master89 has garnered over 11,000 upvotes on a post in which they complement a screenshot ofZavala fromDestiny 2with an in-game idea they had for remembering Lance Reddick. Mr_master89 suggests that Bungie adds a new exotic glaive weapon with a name referencing the actor. The name that Mr_master89 has given the exotic glaive is “Reddick’s Lance,” and much of the Reddit audience has echoed their sentiment in hopes that Bungie gets the message.
While manyDestiny 2players agreed with Mr_master89’s idea to commemorate Lance Reddick in-game, others shared ideas of their own which Bungie may choose to do instead. SomeDestiny 2fans like the idea of a Lance Reddick Claymore to wield on the battlefield, while one thinks a chest piece called “eyes up Guardian” would be more fitting, and some players have added their own flavor text to Mr_master89’s initial glaive concept. One Reddit user suggested a “Chronicle” of Reddick, another recommended a month dedicated toDestiny 2Titans, and further ideas for pieces of gear that could be worn were submitted.
Zavala has been akeyDestinycharactersince the original game, so there’s worry in the community about where the hero goes after the loss of Lance Reddick. Given the live service model ofDestiny 2, Bungie is regularly updating the FPS with bug fixes, nerfs, buffs, and fresh content, the latter of which these fans point to as a way of paying homage to Lance Reddick.
Destiny 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
