I wish there was a place to just buy mods you missed somewhere. I can't really do any solar warmind cell builds because I'm missing all but one of them and now I have to hope Ada just magically has them. That plus missing Stacks on Stacks is annoying when you only have one random chance at it. But it's Bungie so it would probably cost real money if they did have a vendor.

They should appear a lot more often now that combat mods have their own specific daily offering, and aren't competing with scav/target/ammo/reload/dex/unflinch/reserves for every weapon type in the same slot.

During the Vex invasion, Executor Hideo and Arach Jalaal go missing, which is Bungie’s convenient excuse to never do factions again. So does Osiris.

Saint 14 gets all sad about how Eliksni racism lead to the loss of his lover and swears to be the Eliksni’s protector.


This is all based off of out-of-context voice lines whose uses are only assumed and may even go unused, I also don’t have a special source better than r/raidsecrets.

Touch a duskfield and get 2 taps with 120s for 10 seconds

Bait out coldsnaps around corners to safely get frozen and get your 2 taps

Kill 2 people within 3 seconds with solar damage for two taps

Win every Behemoth vs Behemoth battle

They don't do either. They have some magic machine that shows you the future and everyone who goes into it sees a vision of an apocalyptic war and goes insane. They're dedicated to finding someone they can put in the machine who will see a way to survive this war.

is there some lore as to how that happens? i'd like to think they just feed messed up exos to the big clovis bray head while it goes "om nom nom" in a metallic voice. and then a while later, the blank exo gets pooped out an orifice somewhere and wanders around europa until someone finds them.

They literally murder your brain and back you up from a copy. This hasn't been doable since the Golden Age, AFAIK. Unless there's some lore I've missed since DSC came out, which is entirely possible.

There's a few lore entries that talk about it. This one goes into it pretty deeply.

not that different from being human, so i don't see a downside

the real question is: what happens if you're Exo Joe-2 and become Exo Joe-3 and suddenly you're Guardian-worthy?

or, and here's a REALLY fun one: what if Exo Joe-2 the Guardian decides to reboot themselves and become Exo Joe-3? is Joe-3 still a Guardian? If Joe-3 dies, will they res as Joe-2 or Joe-3?

I thought Exo rebooting was done partially/initially to prevent exos from going mad & taken over from the whispers they hear because of their vex juice?

I suspect lightbearing is a quality of a body, not a mind, and is granted to someone who has died already? So at least initially, an exo will be brought back as whatever # they were when they died. But I think subsequent reboots will not be affected by resurrections. It's not like human or awoken are reverted to their memories and personality they had at first resurrections.

As for guradianship, I guess that depends on their personality.

—Vander-2/3: Rescued from the Great Disaster because reset incapacitated him. Served as City guard post-reset. Ghost destroyed on Luna. (Pre- or post-reset? Do Ghosts protect Exo Guardians from spontaneous reset?)
