Destiny 2: Lightfall’s World First Raid Completion Claimed by Shocking Underdog

Just two and a half hours after going live, Destiny 2’s newest raid, Root of Nightmares, was first conquered by a relatively unknown underdog team called Team Hard in the Paint.

Raids are Destiny’s ultimate endgame challenge. Six players work together to understand and execute intricate mechanics to perfection and avoid being killed by hordes of enemies and powerful bosses. For years, Bungie has observed the launch of raids by hosting official “World First Races.”

Bungie confirms the World’s First Victory and writes: If he is the first team to complete both the raid and an additional challenge, all six members will receive the world’s first title his belt and will forever be known as the world’s first champion of the Route of Nightmares. . “

The same team, Clan Elysium, has won the last few raid releases. Including last year’s discipleship vowsTwitch Rivals also featured several other top contenders and past winners as part of the competition. As a result, however, the winner included a small content group of his creator and speedrunners, and their streams had far fewer viewers until it became clear that it was Pace to Win It All.

One of those speedrunners RoenXDhave Only 9,000 followers on Twitch It’s a testament to his crew being underdogs, even after his team wins.

IGN reached out to RoenXD shortly after the raid achievement and said of the win: He is certainly one of the highlights of our lives. We prepared a lot for this raid and did our best. And it paid off. “

In response to the surprise win, commenters took to Twitter to praise the winning team’s impressive speed, lament and celebrate the loss of their rival team.

Since Destiny 2: Lightfall debuted last week, negative reaction to the expansion and numerous bugs have overshadowed the long-running looter shooter, a fact reflected in IGN’s own ongoing review. Today’s raid races seem to have few technical issues, are vastly improved over last year, and may just be the morale boost the Destiny community needs.

No matter who you were rooting for, this is the underdog story of the game. And who doesn’t like a good underdog story?
