These sorts of moments are part of what makes Destiny 2 such an iconic game, where sharing one’s story can make for deep and wholesome reactions - or great times to poke fun at anything in Bungie’s looter shooter. Often, posts like these pop up on social media or platforms like Reddit, and it can take a bunch of likes or upvotes for them to go viral.

Such is the case of a Reddit post made by a user called HAL9000andFriends, who asked fellow players to share their eating habits, but with the caveat of Destiny 2 weapon names being the only replies allowed. The post gained a lot of traction within hours, and got almost 2,000 replies overall, with plenty of great answers on the community’s part. A fellow Redditor replied to the post with “Riskrunner,” an Exotic SMG in the game, but the answer was twisted into “chili and a marathon afterward” for the purpose of the thread.
Another user said “Bottom Dollar,” which is a rare Gambit drop and hand cannon in Destiny 2, to which other users pointed out that it might refer to fast food chains and how cheap they are. A great answer came in the form of “Gnawing Hunger,” but one of the most upvoted was “Rat King,” which presumably is a reference to the 1965 film King Rat, a very appropriate choice given the topic at hand.
Bungie is often in on Destiny 2 memes, with content creators and streamers often doing the same with their videos or art. For example, a Destiny 2 streamer called Leopard trolled the chat live while being part of the Bungie Bounties community event, making viewers believe a Crucible game was about to start when in reality it was a pre-recorded video.
Destiny 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
