Fans of Destiny 2 are notorious for uncovering the game’s secrets before they’re ready for the public eye. That said, all of the information should be taken with a grain of salt, and shouldn’t be viewed as indicative of future content. While the naming Bungie uses internally can be insightful, it is not a direct confirmation of content or story that players may experience down the line.

Developers sometimes use seemingly random names that aren’t intended to be meaningful for the players. Even so, some objects are labeled peculiarly and deserve further discussion. To begin with, Bungie uses the term “veil” to label many Darkness-related objects from pyramid ships to the monolithic statues. This has been a community-favorite alias for the pyramids, but had never been officially used by Bungie in the game while referring to the Darkness’ forces.

Coinciding with recent speculations about the story events of Beyond Light, the trio players meet on Europa; Eris, the Drifter, and the Stranger; have been labeled the “Dark Vanguard” in the game files. Not only do they make up a three member team like the Vanguard, they also champion the antithesis of the Light. Players theorize that in the future, Darkness-aligned Guardians will answer to the renegade Vanguard on Europa while others will continue being an asset to the regular Vanguard.

Moving to the Last Wish Raid, Reddit user Monteven showcased multiple curious file names. The Raid has been dubbed “beanstalk,” a possible refence to the fact that players ascend a tower and eventually kill the beast at its peak. More importantly, only 14 wishes are recorded in the game files for use in the Wall of Wishes, despite the Triumphs in Destiny 2 having a spot allocated for the elusive wish 15. This gives credence to the theory that wish 15 is a hoax, created to keep long-time fans guessing.

Finally, the Exotic Sniper Rifle Whisper of the Worm is titled “Blacker Hammerer” by the developers. This will undoubtedly bring a smile to veteran fans’ faces, since Whisper of the Worm was based on a famous Destiny Sniper Rifle called Black Hammer.

Destiny 2: Beyond Light is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
