The cat statue in the eaz was used in beyond light and if you interacted with it you would get a triumph or seasonal challenge done that would reward you with a retold tale.
I think a lot of the weirdness with the EDZ can be explained by the idea that the EDZ is not just one of the oldest destinations in D2 but was originally meant to ship with D1. It actually appears in the original Destiny reveal trailer (ruclips.net/video/EwOUi4JDC4o/видео.html) you can see the shard of the Traveler surrounded by the same sort of lightning we see in game today off in the distance. This would make it very hard to tell which pieces of geometry were developed for D2 but cut and which were left over after the destination was cut from D1. with this in mind, my take on the weird throne in the Sunken Ketch is that that model was intended to be a Kell's throne, a cultural signifier Mara appropriated when she became the leader of the House of Wolves but discarded when she had no use for it (Mara's throne at galaxy's edge does not resemble the one from Destiny 1 in the slightest).
How does this have so little views this is fucking fascinating. I cannot believe we have a tool like this to interact with an online-only game. And your commentary is genuinely insightful, it's crazy how you know which load zones go to which maps off the top of your head. Good shit
The dark forest wasnt where we got our light back but it was where we used to get our other subclasses after the first one. It has that big space in front of the shard so that you have room to try out your new supers.
the other leftover warmind vault area in the cosmo was used for story mission stuff in d1 vanilla, dark below, and taken king. the leftover room in d2 has a ton of geometry cut out but the basic layout is the same
The fallen ketch having mara's throne makes sense because the entire reef was made from old junk, plus their indoctrination/capture of house wolves, most of it wasn't truly awoken. I'd bet that mara's throne in d1 was just the modified pilot seat of a ketch anyway.

Froggy has a video on the spot at 37:00 and he called it the Iron forest. Could be an area that was supposed to be used in red war when we rescued Cayde and the portal that is loaded is the one that probably would've brought us there. The portal is currently in artifact's edge and is deactivated. The Iron Forest entrance is also loaded in the artifact's edge load. Froggy's Vid: ruclips.net/video/C-L-CvG-zHo/видео.html
In regards to the Shard of Traveler, if memory serves me correctly, it actually was part of additional subclass unlock missions you did. Not part of the Red War where you get your light back, but subsequent(optional) missions you could take to unlock the other subclasses. Those missions had you go to a different shard than the campaign mission. It was started directly from its own mission in EDZ map. For example: ruclips.net/video/yPiGmW0VTqE/видео.html Or ruclips.net/video/0BlpLs2Z4PY/видео.html I may be wrong, but I do think it may have been possible some non hackers may had gotten oob to the point where the lift starts(which only requires a player to go above/past the turnback)(I certainly could be wrong on this). I do know for a fact though that Galaxy pools was initially found by the hacker breaking load zones. Legitimate routes to Galaxy Pools didnt take long once people knew it existed.
@@cptenn9419 this is correct! The first video was one I used in my research for this, but hadn’t seen that second one or done that particular mission.

I have a copy of the game from during shadowkeep before the sunsetting content removal in beyond light. It would be neat to be able to look around some of the old stuff from there. see the real shard of the traveler, maybe some of the old raid stuff.
I believe you could get into the area shown at 26:17 in a seasonal mission during Season of the Seraph. I think there was a special load-in to get into an instance where you were on the other side of that door, or it only opened in that instance. Very cool to learn that the area was part of D1 and on the other side of a door in the Fallen S.A.B.E.R. strike!
Feeding the EAZ Cat was part of a Solstice triumph years ago. ruclips.net/video/uaYJObQolCc/видео.html Originally we probably went into QS236, got charged with light temporarily in the place where we get the cutscene in vanilla, go into the cave leading to the Shard area, fight our way through to the end to the (+X) thing, get spit out of the matching (+X) end point into Galaxy Pools, then cutscene getting our light back for good. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a more much more revelatory story beat meant for it, and they decided to just axe it. 2nd iteration probably had us getting teleported into that cave at 14:12 from black forest also shown here: ruclips.net/video/aGbKgfjaGwU/видео.htmlsi=KNi8kCBASVHfiyso&t=867 That trippy darkness spot probably teleported you to the inaccessible outcropping on the left side of the area in black forest where you were supposed to get sucked up into the gravity well. I think froggy has a vid oobing to that outcropping, can't find it right now though.
@@XAL very cool! Definitely didn’t know that cat had been used. I’ve seen the froggy video of getting to the outcropping. I doubt it’s related to lotus pond, that cave seems like a dark forest into qs236 bridge. I would love to get my hands on a pre-beyond light build so I could explore this area before it was gutted.
@@FierceDeitySponce word. is the map with the ships, big jade rabbit logo, and the space station O rings accessible in your viewer? I think it was environment_55 or something in mont's cubemap viewer years back
I remember someone back in the day managed to find the maps of areas seen in the reflections of scopes or something? There was an entire new tower map that was massive and still never put into the game.
yes, there are a bunch of unused cubemaps that show early or cut areas. (also a lot of the earty cubemaps from d2 have guardian armor in them from when they were captured, oops!)
Late reply but 20:15 are leftover assets from the Destiny 1 EDZ. The EDZ was going to be a destination in the 2013 Staten Cut, but was pushed back after the rewrite. (You can see footage of it in 2013 ViDocs) As you correctly pointed out, those are early fallen walkers, we have concept art of them in a snowy edz (unable to post link unfortunately because the comment will get autodeleted) It's largely unclear what this would've been used for, it could've been abandoned by the time the Staten Cut was mostly finalized anyways. This is possibly the earliest piece of Destiny content we currently have access to viewing. (in terms of game files)
@@Berrineso Ketch doesn’t exist in any old footage, no, however by virtue of what it has inside it is most definitely something from before Destiny 1, not 2.
The Dark Forest area from the beginning of the vid was first used for the subclass quests for unlocking the other two subclasses on each character in Vanilla. You'd travel through the forest activating constellation holograms representing characters closely related to each subclass before taking a portal over to the lakeside Shard, where you'd unlock your subclass and get to use it on a selection of enemies, either Fallen, Cabal, or Taken.
37:23 I think it’s an early rendition of the changes they made in season of the Chosen. The original area was much smaller before Caiatls land tank was there
This was a treat to watch on a sleepy morning, also you have a very nice voice! I always get maddeningly curious about closed off areas and i spent a lot of time in that false shard area trying to get out of bounds when they gave access again via lost ghost quest
It was, I think in the 2nd or 3rd year old solstice there was a triumph to go down there and interact with something by the cat Statue. I can't remember if you had to bring it an offering or not.
It definitely was, I don’t remember which year but I explicitly remember doing this. Might have been 2020? It was when I first got really back into D2.
this is dope! this video showed up in my recommendations and after watching it, i'm definitely subscribed. thanks for this really cool peek behind the curtains of d2!
It was used for when we would go to get our other subclasses. The uldren cutscene is set in the same area but it's a pretendered cutscene so it's not the literal map.
getting to hangmans pass has become harder because of the purple barrier loading faster. extremely good video i love to see cut content of games like this
8:15 Lab0mba has made it to the lights with no hacks in one of his streams. @Froggy618157725 has a video which uses Lab0mbas stream footage and he can be seen getting pretty close to the lights. The video in question is called "A (Different) Mysterious Platform in Galaxy Pools". Great video by the way very detailed.
@@bezolsmate ah yes! ruclips.net/video/lwrgcVgaHzM/видео.htmlsi=4rmEGT7INKbL7usc I had actually watched that when it came out and forgot all about that section of the video. Very cool. Next for someone to get there in the unloaded dark forest. I recently saw a post of someone using Titan stasis super to break out of the gravity pull and the small box in that area. It was something like “back to the sludge from galaxy pools” but didn’t show very much exploration of the unloaded area.
@@FierceDeitySponce I was thinking, in theory, perhaps if you kill yourself in midair with Touch of Malice while you're in the pull after you hit the load, one of those respawn points by the lights could be the default spawn.
@@bezolsmate yeah I had the same thought, I tried having a friend join me while I was in the pull but join on leader is bugged right now and it just dropped him in The Sludge no matter where I was. I forgot that rapidly swapping ToM used to kill your guardian, idk if it still does, but it’s worth a shot. I just need to get someone to help me fly or run TFS on my Titan.
I'm only 20 minutes in but this is a great video. I've been playing this game since D1 DLC #2 and I didn't know about most of the stuff you're talking about. I have a request, is it possible you could pick at the Salvation's Edge raid in this manner? There's a lot of unsolved mysteries there and you might find something no-one else has!
@@zohzow I actually haven’t completed the raid myself yet, and I kinda don’t wanna go poking around like that until the next raid drops. Definitely wouldn’t be posting any content from it publicly until then, as that feels like a fair spoiler embargo. I follow RaidSecrets pretty religiously and I’m not aware of any major mysterious about it, so I wouldn’t even know where to look.
@@FierceDeitySponce That's totally understandable! I'm highly looking forward to if/when you cover it. As for mysteries there's one that I am personally VERY invested in which is figuring out if The Witness's body is the entire Monolith, and if it isn't, how much of the Monolith is The Witness's body. I've spent hours out of bounds documenting as much of the body as I can (see my videos) but I hit dead-ends that can't be solved without a map editor due to the sheer size of the raid. For example, we still have no clue what the entire Monolith looks like, it's either too far away or too close to make out the nature of its architecture. For more specific examples, one would be the fact that there's unexplained tree roots on one side of Monolith that are so out of bounds we can't tell where they lead to. Another specific example would be the room that encounter 2 (Dissipation) takes place in. The boss and the entire room (which is absolutely massive) have yet to be closely examined by anyone from what I've seen which is unfortunate because it appears that they both have valuable story-telling tied to them that remains unknown.
10:20 the correction on not being able to skate isnt entirely accurate if abilities are enabled as you can skate from super casts with varying degrees of speed, so being on prismatic hunter would allow you to select of one the faster supers and still have grapple
Thanks algo for showing me this. I love this whole video. I’d absolutely love to know how you got this program to see all of this but I’m going to guess that you would get in trouble if you told us I can’t wait for part 2. Love seeing OOB stuff and I’ve always wanted a way to see how kill barriers and turn back zones looked. Be able to have someone look at them so that it would make it easier for OOB and getting past certain points instead of having to guess and test places to get out
If you do a part 2 can you cover the Vault of Glass map if there is anything of note? This video was insanely interesting and I would love to see more.
2:45 isnt this area where we unlocked additional supers in vanilla? I remember short cutscenes showcasing us using our new supers before getting to fight with them here pretty vividly.
First area was used for getting our other subclasses post red war. So you’re both technically correct and technically incorrect. If you played when you said you did you would have started well after the red war was the primary start of the game. You’d have been a New Light.
This is amazing, i'd love to take a look at some of this myself, how are you doing this? like, what program are you using and is there a guide on how to use it/get started? My friends and i LOVE oob stuff and looking at cut/unused content so if theres like, idk, a "dummies guide" or something i'd be eternally grateful like omg
Omg what program do you use for this and could you please consider making a tutorial vid for it? This is exactly the kind of thing I’ve wanted to do to Destiny for YEARS
tool is semi private atm, we dont want it to get too popular and have bungie shut it down (if you do want it, i would reccomend joining the destiny model rips discord, and going from there)
Please, just to confirm with you if you have the info friend, is Destiny 2's engine simply the Halo Reach engine, but heavily modified??? Getting some major "forge" vibes from this if you catch my drift.
it is 'public' (its on github), but we fear bungie's wrath. if it gets too popular, it may be taken down as it is a SUPER easy way to leak stuff (it can do more than just maps). not to mention, its not finished yet.
can you take a look at gambit maps? it would be interesting to see if the plate for the 15th wish was actually in the game. i remember there being rumor of it being on the map with a beach with kind of a broken building in the middle under certain circumstances. or in the meatballs mouth. i looked at older videos but did not see anything of the sort. not sure if you can look at models of characters but since youre doing older content in episode 2, it would be neat to actually see.
there was never a plate or code for the 15th wish, it never existed in game. plus, its story was wrapped up with season of the wish, were the wish to follow the witness was revealed to be the 15th wish

btw shard is actually called shard internally just newer versions of destiny dont have the name youve figured this out by now since you mentioned you were going back to shadowkeep for a vid i am keen on believing theres a stray load either in gpools thats reachable either by prospectorbox or a stray load in quarentine sector 236 or dark forest (even tho some random person said a group used hard cheating to come literally everywhere to try and find it but maybe they didnt hit the exact xyz we shall hope)

28:14 there was a 2014 rasputin room that you could glitch to. someone would have to correct me if I’m wrong, but in D1, there were 7 “seats” in that room that were speculated to represent the 7 seraphs that uploaded their consciousness from the cut story. isn’t that the same as this room? ruclips.net/video/7ytJqaT_GBY/видео.htmlsi=MnmPrLcjADgZviZV

Great video, just one question: what does blue coconut mean? I've tried looking it up and am only getting drink related results despite me attaching destiny to it.
@@Helios1097 there’s a running joke in the team fortress 2 community about valve finding an unused coconut texture that, when they deleted it, broke the whole game. So that one asset was integral to keeping the game together, and it couldn’t be removed. A while back, Bungie announced that blue drops would be removed once at the (soft?) cap, and when they implemented this, a whole bunch of other stuff started breaking after that update. It could have been unrelated to the blue drops, but the joke transferred over anyways that those blue engrams were d2’s useless coconut textures.
ruclips.net/video/VGX_kXtfRGM/видео.html Pretty sure that's the iron forest, however could be wrong. ruclips.net/video/C-L-CvG-zHo/видео.html Appropriate video from Froggy regarding it. Also thank you for respecting the wishes of the creators :P IKYK (I'm not affiliated with them)
Seeing this, Bungie hasnt a single clue what the fuck they are doing. Removing all these areas, cutting them out and making them not even explorable is fucking bullshit. YET you can revisit some of the MANY MANY MANY areas around the path like niobe lab for example and be completely confused what the hell that place is. They build their amazing world only to be thrown away. Destiny is truly a lost franchise.

That trippy darkness spot probably teleported you to the inaccessible outcropping on the left side of the area in black forest where you were supposed to get sucked up into the gravity well. I think froggy has a vid oobing to that outcropping, can't find it right now though.
@@XAL very cool! Definitely didn’t know that cat had been used.
I’ve seen the froggy video of getting to the outcropping. I doubt it’s related to lotus pond, that cave seems like a dark forest into qs236 bridge. I would love to get my hands on a pre-beyond light build so I could explore this area before it was gutted.
@@FierceDeitySponce word. is the map with the ships, big jade rabbit logo, and the space station O rings accessible in your viewer? I think it was environment_55 or something in mont's cubemap viewer years back
I remember someone back in the day managed to find the maps of areas seen in the reflections of scopes or something? There was an entire new tower map that was massive and still never put into the game.
yes, there are a bunch of unused cubemaps that show early or cut areas. (also a lot of the earty cubemaps from d2 have guardian armor in them from when they were captured, oops!)
The reason the fallen ketch looks so similar to maras throne room and ship is cause she uses fallen ships.
Yeah the throne she sits on in the cutscene from vanilla D1 is a throne taken from a ketch. All ketches have a throne that the archon priests sit in.
21:28 it might be placeholder. But Mara Sov’s throne was in a Fallen Ketch that was commandeered after they conquered the House of Wolves.
I love seeing things like this, cant help but wonder how possible it is to explore maps, like this, myself, if at all. Thanks for showing us. :]
Late reply but 20:15 are leftover assets from the Destiny 1 EDZ. The EDZ was going to be a destination in the 2013 Staten Cut, but was pushed back after the rewrite. (You can see footage of it in 2013 ViDocs)
As you correctly pointed out, those are early fallen walkers, we have concept art of them in a snowy edz (unable to post link unfortunately because the comment will get autodeleted)
It's largely unclear what this would've been used for, it could've been abandoned by the time the Staten Cut was mostly finalized anyways. This is possibly the earliest piece of Destiny content we currently have access to viewing. (in terms of game files)
Out of curiosity could you see this Ketch during any of the footage?
@@Berrineso Ketch doesn’t exist in any old footage, no, however by virtue of what it has inside it is most definitely something from before Destiny 1, not 2.
The Dark Forest area from the beginning of the vid was first used for the subclass quests for unlocking the other two subclasses on each character in Vanilla. You'd travel through the forest activating constellation holograms representing characters closely related to each subclass before taking a portal over to the lakeside Shard, where you'd unlock your subclass and get to use it on a selection of enemies, either Fallen, Cabal, or Taken.
23:22 this looks like what they’d use to plan out the skybox. Scale down a part of the level and then build the skybox surrounding this area.
37:23 I think it’s an early rendition of the changes they made in season of the Chosen. The original area was much smaller before Caiatls land tank was there
fantastic video, would love to see a part two
Great video! Would love to see more zoom ins on far away objects. Do the raids! Subbed!
This was a treat to watch on a sleepy morning, also you have a very nice voice! I always get maddeningly curious about closed off areas and i spent a lot of time in that false shard area trying to get out of bounds when they gave access again via lost ghost quest
I wonder if the cat statue in the eaz wasn't part of a secret triumph from previous solstices.
It was, I think in the 2nd or 3rd year old solstice there was a triumph to go down there and interact with something by the cat Statue.
I can't remember if you had to bring it an offering or not.
It definitely was, I don’t remember which year but I explicitly remember doing this. Might have been 2020? It was when I first got really back into D2.
this is dope! this video showed up in my recommendations and after watching it, i'm definitely subscribed. thanks for this really cool peek behind the curtains of d2!
this was fun, thanks for the showcase!
3:30 I believe this area was used in one of the forsaken cutscenes, one where Uldren took shard of the traveler
Your probably right
It was used for when we would go to get our other subclasses. The uldren cutscene is set in the same area but it's a pretendered cutscene so it's not the literal map.
please make more vids like this, i love destiny unused/scrapped content!
getting to hangmans pass has become harder because of the purple barrier loading faster. extremely good video i love to see cut content of games like this
@@fayithuwu I like to just go over the first one and under the second one.
@@FierceDeitySponce thanks! also i would totally watch a 1 hour 30 min vid on kings fall cut content
8:15 Lab0mba has made it to the lights with no hacks in one of his streams. @Froggy618157725 has a video which uses Lab0mbas stream footage and he can be seen getting pretty close to the lights. The video in question is called "A (Different) Mysterious Platform in Galaxy Pools". Great video by the way very detailed.
@@bezolsmate ah yes! ruclips.net/video/lwrgcVgaHzM/видео.htmlsi=4rmEGT7INKbL7usc
I had actually watched that when it came out and forgot all about that section of the video. Very cool. Next for someone to get there in the unloaded dark forest. I recently saw a post of someone using Titan stasis super to break out of the gravity pull and the small box in that area. It was something like “back to the sludge from galaxy pools” but didn’t show very much exploration of the unloaded area.
@@FierceDeitySponce I was thinking, in theory, perhaps if you kill yourself in midair with Touch of Malice while you're in the pull after you hit the load, one of those respawn points by the lights could be the default spawn.
@@bezolsmate yeah I had the same thought, I tried having a friend join me while I was in the pull but join on leader is bugged right now and it just dropped him in The Sludge no matter where I was. I forgot that rapidly swapping ToM used to kill your guardian, idk if it still does, but it’s worth a shot. I just need to get someone to help me fly or run TFS on my Titan.
I'm only 20 minutes in but this is a great video. I've been playing this game since D1 DLC #2 and I didn't know about most of the stuff you're talking about.
I have a request, is it possible you could pick at the Salvation's Edge raid in this manner? There's a lot of unsolved mysteries there and you might find something no-one else has!
@@zohzow I actually haven’t completed the raid myself yet, and I kinda don’t wanna go poking around like that until the next raid drops. Definitely wouldn’t be posting any content from it publicly until then, as that feels like a fair spoiler embargo.
I follow RaidSecrets pretty religiously and I’m not aware of any major mysterious about it, so I wouldn’t even know where to look.
@@FierceDeitySponce That's totally understandable! I'm highly looking forward to if/when you cover it.
As for mysteries there's one that I am personally VERY invested in which is figuring out if The Witness's body is the entire Monolith, and if it isn't, how much of the Monolith is The Witness's body. I've spent hours out of bounds documenting as much of the body as I can (see my videos) but I hit dead-ends that can't be solved without a map editor due to the sheer size of the raid.
For example, we still have no clue what the entire Monolith looks like, it's either too far away or too close to make out the nature of its architecture. For more specific examples, one would be the fact that there's unexplained tree roots on one side of Monolith that are so out of bounds we can't tell where they lead to. Another specific example would be the room that encounter 2 (Dissipation) takes place in. The boss and the entire room (which is absolutely massive) have yet to be closely examined by anyone from what I've seen which is unfortunate because it appears that they both have valuable story-telling tied to them that remains unknown.
The area at the begining of the video was used in vanilla D2. It was the mission area where you obtained your two other subclasses.
Those vines off the drifter's ship look pretty similar to egregore
Damn, interesting to see Galaxy Pools in a different way. I wonder if Froggy has seen this yet.
@@Haunted.Pumpkin froggy has known about all of this a lot longer than I have
10:20 the correction on not being able to skate isnt entirely accurate if abilities are enabled as you can skate from super casts with varying degrees of speed, so being on prismatic hunter would allow you to select of one the faster supers and still have grapple
Thanks algo for showing me this. I love this whole video. I’d absolutely love to know how you got this program to see all of this but I’m going to guess that you would get in trouble if you told us
I can’t wait for part 2. Love seeing OOB stuff and I’ve always wanted a way to see how kill barriers and turn back zones looked. Be able to have someone look at them so that it would make it easier for OOB and getting past certain points instead of having to guess and test places to get out
If you do a part 2 can you cover the Vault of Glass map if there is anything of note? This video was insanely interesting and I would love to see more.
good video love the input
Same weird orb outside of galaxy pools. It does stuff when you shoot it. Froggy made a video on it
This is really cool and i really hope you can keep filming these. Can you do like raids or cutscenes with this camera?
kind of? you can look at cutscene loads, but not the scenes themselves, no.
as for raids, yeah they work fine.
2:45 isnt this area where we unlocked additional supers in vanilla? I remember short cutscenes showcasing us using our new supers before getting to fight with them here pretty vividly.
First area was used for getting our other subclasses post red war. So you’re both technically correct and technically incorrect. If you played when you said you did you would have started well after the red war was the primary start of the game. You’d have been a New Light.
This is amazing, i'd love to take a look at some of this myself, how are you doing this? like, what program are you using and is there a guide on how to use it/get started? My friends and i LOVE oob stuff and looking at cut/unused content so if theres like, idk, a "dummies guide" or something i'd be eternally grateful like omg
33:40 is this the ship piece and rock from the intro cutscene to Shadowkeep where eris touches the rocks and you see the pyramid texture?
@@michaelaj4495 oh yeah I haven’t seen it in a bit but I think you’re right! Haha wild to use an entire load zone for just that

(if you do want it, i would reccomend joining the destiny model rips discord, and going from there)
Is this map tool usable in D1? Would love to see black garden and mars with something like this
with ps3/x360, there might be some tool out there that can let you see the maps.
no, but another tool, charm, is compatible with D1, although it only shows geometry, no shaders or textures, as thats not what it was built for
Please, just to confirm with you if you have the info friend, is Destiny 2's engine simply the Halo Reach engine, but heavily modified??? Getting some major "forge" vibes from this if you catch my drift.
Yes it runs on Tiger engine but is a modified/overhauled version of the blam! Engine used for all of the halo games iirc
Waugh I need more of that
Gatekeeping this tool is WILD.
it is 'public' (its on github), but we fear bungie's wrath. if it gets too popular, it may be taken down as it is a SUPER easy way to leak stuff (it can do more than just maps). not to mention, its not finished yet.
feels like I learned forbidden information
you mention that there's enough cut kings fall content to make a full video, but I cant find anything about it?
god i wish i could use this program
ive been out of d2 for like a year now and the only thing that pulls me back in is OOB stuff
can you take a look at gambit maps? it would be interesting to see if the plate for the 15th wish was actually in the game. i remember there being rumor of it being on the map with a beach with kind of a broken building in the middle under certain circumstances. or in the meatballs mouth. i looked at older videos but did not see anything of the sort. not sure if you can look at models of characters but since youre doing older content in episode 2, it would be neat to actually see.
there was never a plate or code for the 15th wish, it never existed in game. plus, its story was wrapped up with season of the wish, were the wish to follow the witness was revealed to be the 15th wish

The eaz is so weird. I feel like it was used for something else. Like something completely different like an exotic mission.
btw shard is actually called shard internally just newer versions of destiny dont have the name youve figured this out by now since you mentioned you were going back to shadowkeep for a vid
i am keen on believing theres a stray load either in gpools thats reachable either by prospectorbox or a stray load in quarentine sector 236 or dark forest (even tho some random person said a group used hard cheating to come literally everywhere to try and find it but maybe they didnt hit the exact xyz we shall hope)

isn’t that the same as this room?

@@Helios1097 there’s a running joke in the team fortress 2 community about valve finding an unused coconut texture that, when they deleted it, broke the whole game. So that one asset was integral to keeping the game together, and it couldn’t be removed.
A while back, Bungie announced that blue drops would be removed once at the (soft?) cap, and when they implemented this, a whole bunch of other stuff started breaking after that update. It could have been unrelated to the blue drops, but the joke transferred over anyways that those blue engrams were d2’s useless coconut textures.

Seeing this, Bungie hasnt a single clue what the fuck they are doing. Removing all these areas, cutting them out and making them not even explorable is fucking bullshit. YET you can revisit some of the MANY MANY MANY areas around the path like niobe lab for example and be completely confused what the hell that place is.
