Destiny 2features a large swath of content for a wide variety of players. Ritual style events like Gambit and the Crucible are refreshed each week to entice all players to keep coming back, though for those who crave more of a challenge,Destiny 2does have more difficult content. Raids,the Legendary difficulty Witch Queen campaign, and Nightfalls, especially with the return of Grandmaster variants, are there to push players with the promise of better loot.
Rotating modifiers add a new element to standard missions, such as limiting revives, introducing more damage through a certain element, or locking down player loadouts. In addition to increased enemy health and shields, players have to square off against Champion level enemies, which has left the community divided. TheseDestiny 2enemies are tougher as they require specific mods to be usedwith specific weapon types in order to be stunned and then defeated. As one player found out, even at a sliver of health, Champions are not to be messed with.

During a Wellspring run, an activity added alongside the Witch Queen expansion, one player showed off how dangerous Champions can be, even when one assumes they’re finished. In a short clip from ohjeezus_ on theDestiny 2subReddit, the player is using the exotic linear rifle Sleeper Simulant to take down an Unstoppable Ogre. As the player reduces the Hive Ogre’s health to a sliver, the finisher icon appears above the enemy’s head, which the player then triggers.
As the finishing animation starts, the ogre surprisingly breaks out and punches the player and downs them instantly. Based on the clip, it appears the timing of the finisher began just after the Ogre initiated its unstoppable ability, which may have glitched the finisher animation. Either way, the clip has been a big hit with the community, which quickly posted an assortment of funny quips and sayings the ogre might say to the guardian. One user even hilariously compared the clip to therecent slap from Will Smith to Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Theinclusion of Champions in more difficult content has been a controversial onefor many fans. Each season introduces new modifiers, many of which can deal with one of the three Champion types. Unfortunately, these are tied to specific weapon types, meaning that players are forced to use specific mods and weapons for these encounters, which ultimately clashes with Bungie’s recent push for player freedom in creating builds.
Destiny 2is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
