Important thing to note about cayde being the favourite customer of the ramen shop: That picture is actually a memorial. When the forsaken campaign was in the game, that picture wouldnt actually appear until you reached the campaign, alongside the plaque by zavala.

[@Techhunter_Talon]

0:55 Apparently, he still coaches kids in dodgeball on his off-time. I don't remember what lore tab where that's mentioned. I just remember seeing that somewhere and thought it was pretty wholesome that he stuck with it even though he has no further obligations to do so. 13:53 Lore fact: That bug is Omar Agah, a former member of Eris's fireteam. This means, counting Eris and Toland, half of that fireteam still lives in some form or fashion. However, don't worry about little ol' Omar. In the gun's loretab, he states that he doesn't mind his new form because he's still able to get vengeance on the Hive for what they did.

[@fursbuddy6910]

I think the craziest thing of all is that your interact button is mapped to LT in one of the clips

The sugar cube you give to star horse is from either festival of the lost or the dawning (I believe the former). It would give you some goodies back during that event. That you can still give him the cube from time to time is a bug they never bothered to patch

One thing you missed along the lines of rifting in the tower: If you equip blink and a sword then take your sword out it allows you to blink in some destinations you couldn’t normally. I use this trick to get around the helm all the time but it works in other situations as well like certain mission zones that usually lock out your abilities.

[@Ex-D-]

Gjallerhorn Wolfpack rounds are little wolf heads that growl. I was in dares of eternity when the game crashed/lagged out but I was still able to walk around similar to those videos where someone will lag switch in a CoD game to show the missile or ac130 rounds before impact.

[@rainztk]

12:47 to one up this, the Omnioculus Mask (universal ornament from eververse) will remove the hood part of cloaks, meaning that if you equip something like the refugee’s cloak, you’ll have no cape and no hood. I sometimes rock this look.

14:10 that tiny detail about the hammer, cylinder, and hands blew my mind when I discovered it/was told about it. I was complaining about Ace of Spades being such an incredible weapon but was missing the detail of the hammer and cylinder. My friend then says "ummm aktchually on controller it does" I went and tested it and was blown away. I then spent like 30 minutes testing controller vs mnk animations. The ironic part is my favorite exotic is sunshot (has been since I started playing in 2020) but I feel the devs put too much love into it making its animations a little too exciting which makes the gun kinda hard to use in PvP. I mean I got used to it but its still kinda wild. 15:55 that is the most petty thing I have seen... I love it.

8:36 There's a very small handful of guns that don't adhere to this rule, & it kinda drives me crazy lol For example, if you equip the Spare Rations ornament on Targeted Redaction, it'll flip the icon to point left as if it's a Kinetic weapon (like the original Spare Rations).

Here's a few that come to mind. - Winterbite's Stasis effect lingers during emotions. - The Felwinter Exotic Gauntlets have an ornament that cannot been entirely seen in the preview menu. - The Tower Location Icon moved with Lightfall release. - Shaxx has three horns. - Somewhere, there is a number of players with every major NPC or Boss name. - Rhulk and Nezarc both have Ankle Bands and turn into spaghetti upon death. - Warlocks have more Robes then Non-Robes. - The Drifter has, in fact, eaten Hatchlings. - Cayde and Shaxx had a special sparrow for the Dodge-ball event and were escorted by Redjacks. - Xivu Wrath only speaks in CAPS. - Glorbo was the name of a test screeb. - Telesto has canonical broken the Fourth Wall. - Pre-order exotics for expansion have always had some major bug. (No, Ostera Striga doesn't count. It was not obtainable upon pre-order) - Most NPC's have billions of Cookies from the Dawning. - We have a Rock Ship (and get it off my map). - We have only one Raid that has not reprised from D1. - Nightfalls are canonical.

[@NateTheScot]

Oh and as for removing cloaks entirely, you can remove your hunter class item COMPLETELY by using the Coutourier helmet. For some reason it removes the top part of all cloaks. If you use a cloak that doesn't have any other parts to it like the Legatus cloak. However my favourite personal use for it is to have a stylish afghan scarf effect by using the coutourier helmet with the Refugee Cloak. Throw in Veist Fieldscale camo and you have yourself the perfect camo afghan scarf look to compliment your hunter vibe. Oh and this effect is intentional, because on the Whisper Of The Victor cloak, the cloak is still actually visible but it's folded down and hanging behind you. This is the ONLY cloak that has this up/down hood behaviour that i know of. If anyone has other examples please let me know. I only have limited transmog options available as a somewhat casual player and i've missed some seasons. Also your Eververse calculations are WAY low because that doesn't include any of the event items that are only available to see in the store during their related events, and there's a fuck tonne of items for silver for every event these days (that's the only thing bungie bothers to update for the event every single time it rolls around, unlike, y'know... the gameplay, or content at all). If you include all the event sets and emotes and finishers and items etc, including the halloween masks that actually cost silver (why the fuck would anyone pay REAL MONEY for a halloween mask you can't even use the rest of the year????) then it would probably be double that amount.

The turn around robe thing is most likely because the physics for the cloth is turned off when not on screen to save resources, and when it gets reactivated, it causes that. It is very common in many games.

I do believe the name of that shader "Metropolitan Acoustics" is a reference to the insanely loud Seattle Seahawks fans especially around the time it was added to the game. they also share those colors with the Sounders. Seattle fans used to get so loud you could hear it clear across the city and it would register as an earthquake.

[@ShadowDestiny2]

while that is possible, I doubt it. Given the relationship between Seattle --> "Metropolitan and Sounders --> "Acoustics", it just seems too perfect. Also, the colors are an exact match for this team, and not for the Seahawks.
