Destiny 2's PC community has been saved by a sniper rifle

I have never witnessed the Destiny 2 community come together like it did for The Whisper of the Worm quest - and I’ve played over 300 hours of Bungie’s sci-fi MMO shooter. It was the unexpected challenge required to obtain the Exotic sniper rifle that united the playerbase. Finally, experienced Guardians had something to sink their teeth into again, something to thrash around in their jaws and properly wrestle with.

Much like its predecessor, Destiny 2 has struggled to remain relevant during its first year. With two lukewarm DLCs and only a sprinkling of seasonal events there hasn’t been a ton of truly worthwhile post-game content. Even worse, outside of the raids and a singular world event, most activities posed no new threat to the game’s veterans. This was a big problem as Destiny 2’s most dedicated players were starting to fall away from the game.

Then The Whisper of the Worm challenge came along. It’s a hidden quest that revolves around completing a high-level mission in under 20 minutes. That’s much easier said than done since this level is long and requires jumping through a lot of hoops.

In order to secure the Exotic, Guardians have to traverse an elaborate jumping puzzle, slay rooms of Taken foes, and bring down three powerful bosses. Finishing the mission is the only way to get The Whisper of the Worm, and the challenge doesn’t end there: earning the Whisper unlocks the Heroic version of the level, whereby you can earn its Exotic Catalyst.
