Summary
ADestiny 2fan recently found a story in the lore section of the game that makes players see the Vex enemy faction in a different light. Players have started discussing whether this new detail will have a significant impact onDestiny 2or the franchise’s future. This lore came into light after the release of the latest expansion, The Final Shape, which concluded the story arc that started when the firstDestinygame was launched.
After launch, The Final Shape had a few glitches and issues that led to game crashes and several other buggy gameplay elements. Bungie addressed these issues with therelease ofDestiny 2’s update 8.0.0.4, fixing the problematic campaign missions Exegesis and Transmigration. The update addressed several other aspects of the game, too, including weapons, armor, abilities and other bugs that made the game crash.
On a recent social media post on theDestiny 2subreddit, a player with the handle MajestycSun shared lore that involves the enemy faction Vex. The post, titled “Vex are innocent,” shows an image of a story about an unexpected and isolated incident with a Vex Hobgoblin, moving around funnily. As the person in the story moves to draw their weapon, the Vex waves at them with a friendly gesture that makes the person not attack the Hobgoblin. When the person in the lore waves back at the Vex, the robotic entity becomes even more enthusiastic and waves back with both of its arms in the air.
Destiny 2 Fan Shares New Lore About the Vex
This incident caught the attention of manyDestiny 2players. Before this lore was revealed, the Vex Hobgoblins were portrayed as entities with a hive mind. However, this new lore shows the Vex acting with an individualistic mindset, stepping away from the sole purpose of the creatures, which is to destroy the Guardians and other enemies. Many commenters on the post mentioned that the lore made them feel bad for the Vex in question. Others are speculating about the future of the series, especially after the conclusion that theSalvation’s Edge Raid inDestiny 2offered.
One of the commenters thinks that Bungie is planning to turn other races into playable lightbearers. Fans also found the lore creepy because it is very unnatural for the Vex to have emotions or individuality. With the lack of a new storyline to focus on, some fans are turning towards finding funny gameplay elements. A fan has pointed out afunny plot hole in the Salvation’s Edge Raid, which involves the Witness leaving random armor for players in its lair.
This discussion regarding the Vex adds new fan theories speculating about the future of the game, as there’s currently no story arc to focus on. Even though it’s very hard tobeat the Witness inDestiny 2’s Salvation’s Edge raid, it does offer a great ending to the story with the boss failing to enact the Final Shape.
