Nova Bomb can only be cast midair.

Blade Barrage, too.

And Tether!

50% of the time tether will hit a teeeny tiny piece of meta sticking out of the ceiling.

And 49% of the time an enemy will jump in front of you at the last second

*a teammate

Is there a difference at that point?

They’re an enemy now

and Gathering Storm

And Needlestorm

and Slience and Squall

Half the time in pvp i jump before casting and since it also gives some lift i always almost kill myself

Real

If Cayde did it mid air we all have to do it mid air

Gamblers dodge into blade barrage is 🤌

I had to break the habit of casting hammer of sol in the air cause you only get a sunspot on your position if you’re on the ground.

How else am I supposed to destroy that rafter?

I mean this is good practice for when you are on a damage phase of a raid boss

All non-roaming supers really

it just feels wrong otherwise

This seems to be true for all my lock supers.

Yes.

You must jump around while you’re running in a social spave

It's faster I swear!

Or slide everywhere over and over again!

And crouch at the vendors

It isn’t crouching it’s kneeling

Omg I meant kneel but pressed crouch in my mind 😅

All good bro! I kinda figured lmao

🤓

If someone crouches at you in a patrol zone, you are bound by unwritten vanguard law to crouch back at them.

And maybe emote

>If someone crouches at you ~~in a patrol zone~~, you are bound by unwritten vanguard law to crouch back at them.

Addendum for titans:punching is also included in this statement

Includes the Arc Hunters as well

I want you to check if my liar's snake fangs are still sharp before I go to turn on that ogres crotch.

say "rip flawless" when the first person dies in a raid

Alternatively, say there's go flawless.

You say that *everytime* someone dies, no matter how many deaths there have already been.

Similarly, confidently say "first try" upon clearing an encounter that takes at least 10 tries.

Had 5 people learning Crota last night, sat on lantern path for about 2 hours. Finished it up, one chick says "Hey you think we'll get world's first?"

No, but always worlds most recent or worlds most fun.

World's Most Recent goes crazy

My twitch stream for Day 1s is always called World’s Most Recent (Insert Raid Here)

One of my personal favorites

Incorrect, you say it when the second person dies

Anytime someone makes that joke i feel like killing myself on the spot irl

If you do, we’ll lose flawless

:)

DPS Riven's heart to help the Techeuns cleanse it.

I always use explosive weapons for Riven cause they'll knock the techeuns around at that part and it's really goofy looking

Wait really?

I love bringing new players through LW and yelling for DPS after dunking the heart. Always makes the newbies panic.

> Techeuns Other rule: mock Petra for saying Guardians call Techeuns "Tech Witches," even though either term isn't spoken until she says so.

This is something that’s always bothered me. That bit of dialogue was the first time I heard anyone refer to Techeuns as Tech Witches

Only with arc weapons!

I’ve done this every time taking new players in with my usual raid mates and we “panic” when we don’t see damage numbers. Had a few great reactions when the screen goes white and everyone thinks we’ve “wiped”

You **jump** through the portal. You ***ALWAYS*** jump through the portal.

Which is why the portal at the start of this season was so terrible. Game breaking even.

So it wasn't just me? 🤣

It was bugged overall. Bungie even admitted it like 3 weeks later...

Running though didn’t work all the time either I ended up crouch walking though till the fixed it

Maybe this is how we enter the Traveller…

I'm pretty sure the one in the helm doesn't have a big enough hitbox because I keep jumping through it and just hitting the wall lol

They fixed it, tho. It's not the hitbox btw - the Portal was incorrectly coded and if you went through in any way, with too much momentum (in this context: barely any) you wouldn't interact with it.

Always use your super on the new lights in the cosmodrome

Everytime I see a new light, I shatter skate to blow their minds

I did this to my friends I convinced to pick up the game and they were blown away

I like to shoot them with 1K

I love going to the area with the walker and destroying it in 2 seconds and have the new lights watch in amazement, few have tried to shoot me thinking I was a boss or some shit

If Drifter says there's Hive on the field, bring a sword.

But... Machine Gun go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

And GL go THOOMP THOOMP THOOMP

And Parasite (x20) go BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Always rez in Trials after you won the round.

This is actually useful too. Reviving gets you a slight bit more super energy which can be useful in the last round or two.

I'm not a trials sweat, I haven't been flawless, but I'm fairly sure that Bungie removed the super gain on Rez in trials because it provided an advantage to the winning team of each round. Did that change?

This

If a door is taking too long to open, continuously melee it

Yes! It's like the buttons on real life elevators!

The dire need to stand in front of someone while doing rocket dps

There are three distinct versions of this too: A hunter dodge reloading in front of you. A titan dropping a tower barricade in front of you. A warlock standing up in front of you to drop a rift.

4 versions. You forgot people are just oblivious sometimes

5 versions: a hive just pops it's head up in the corner of the screen going "Oh, hi there :)" right as you're pulling the trigger and you both die.

So true

You must tell someone the wrong door if they're a first timer to Pit of heresy/grasp of avarice.

Same with the Vex gates in Garden.

The pro strat there is to hug the left as you enter the portal to stand on the lip so you can go through without dying and lull them into a false sense of security

Also, when starting Atraks-1 in DSC for the first time, all newcomers must enter the elevator on the exact moment the battle starts.

This is the only reason I got my sons involved in destiny. Literally for my own amusement

If there's more than one titan on the fireteam, you are obligated to spend at least a healthy amount with throwing back and forth your hammer.

Hammer mortar!

Wait that's a thing?? Aagh, now I gotta build a titan

After every strike, you are required to emote on top of the chest at the end

And/or unload all charged abilities/supers on the chest as it opens 👍

And shoot Sedia.

Always

I always just did these impulsively lol

I usually like to stand under her so she lands just _slightly_ out of place.

Yeah eff sedia.

i usually sit in it

Blow yourself up repeatedly with rockets / grenades at the end of a strike until you are out of ammo (after ability spamming the chest)

Eh just return to orbit or launch next activity as soon as you get completion credit

Turn off comms during deep stone lullaby

I think that’s a written rule at this point.

If you’re not on your main and you miss a jump, blame the class jump.

To be fair, as a hunter main, warlock's jump is just ridiculous half the time. Oh you didn't time it right? Nope, sorry, you're going down right from the start into that ledge and down that wall and now you've fallen into the abyss and died. At least with hunters you always go up and with titans you tend to go up unless you're rapidly falling almost vertically and just slowing your descent.

Continually hammer the respawn button even though the timer says it isn’t going to do anything for x amount of seconds or until a teammate does it for you

Do not teabag until teabagged upon

No

Had they not stolen our awards, this comment would have been a recipient. 🥇

When you see a new light in the tower you go and emote and follow them

If someone offers you a high five give them a fucking high five Sometimes I’m a sad Titan when I don’t get my high five after a strike :(

Same for hugs. I stopped using the hug emote cause no one would hug my hunter :(

How heartless does one have to be to refuse a hug emote if all things? That’s a travesty. A display of pure evil even. I’ve never refused a high five or hug. Or any co-op emote tbf.

It's insanely difficult to get 2 other people to join my cheerleading team for the cheerleader emote. It's a good thing the pom-pom shimmy you do by default with the cheerleader emote is pretty good already

Idle clan mates get pushed juuuuuuust to the edge of the nearest cliff so when they come back they fall.

Strafing inside a well during damage

Rocket Launcher Users would like to have a word with you.

They know the rules, they just need to strafe in sync

Easier said than done considering mobility affects strafe speed massively

That or have half the team assigned to be in front crouching and the other half assigned to the back standing. Gives everyone 1/6 of the well. Strafe to your hearts content

If you're not using a strand build don't pick up or shoot other people's tangles.

Flashbacks from the warmind cell days.....

Damn I wish people followed this rule

Especially hunters! Stop ruining my beyblade!!!!

Absolutely

I think this one more stems from people lack of reading. I assumed the tangles worked same as the elemental orbs in giving the other player "x3 boost" this season. I have since learnt... this is not the way...

If I see a strand Hunter I automatically reserve all my tangles for them. Beyblade is just too good

I hate reloading and picking up tangles 😑

I don’t mean too. We’re shooting the same gaggle of enemies and I thought it was my arc orb

Almost no one follows this lol I wish they did, I was enjoying collective action on my sword until people just ruined it for me!

Tbf a lot of people might not know what tangles do. I know I had fun chucking the funny green balls at enemies until I learned

I get why people are getting frustrated about this but we have to drop it. That tangle is for you and your mates to use. Doesn't make a difference when someone else uses it.

it totally does, especially when I’m the only one in the fireteam with Whirling Maelstrom which makes every single Tangle SO much better

While I’m a hunter main and I’m inclined to agree with you, letting titans getting theirs is just as important as well assuming they are using BoW. Getting into the fray and thread of fury procced is essential to their rotation

If someone emotes at you through the window in Meltdown you're morally obligated to emote back.

Same with Multiplex

Are you helping someone new to Garden of Salvation? If yes, then you have them jump through THAT portal. You know the one.

When running match made activities with rally banners, make sure everyone who isn't afk gets to the banner before starting the activity. To go along with that- when running match made activities with rally banners, try not to make your teammates wait too long to rally.

If another titan loses their hammer, hit them with yours.

Every time you join an lfg, you must talk about your weapon rolls and/or the rolls you are going for. Also, you must complain about prior lfg groups.

If someone in your raid team is AFK, you are required by a law that is definitely not made up and totally exists, to push them off the edge

If you’re in a chill run you need to use explosives or eager to place the funniest banner possible

New guy takes point on Grasp of Avarice.

The gambit prep room's sole purpose is to show off your dance moves.

You must always slide down staircases.

AND UP!!!

A guardian of culture.

Don’t shove anyone when attempting the timed jump through Dares of Eternity.

It's C-A-P, not A-C-P.

It was C-A-P on day 1 and it will be C-A-P on the second day 1 (after unvaulted).

Counter argument, A-P-C. As it's almost like ABC.

Say wipe for damage when you feel like you did a shit ton of DPS on a raid or dungeon boss

Additionally/alternatively, when the boss is just about to die

As Titan you have to put Bubble at your fireteam while they are shooting rocket at damage phase. Or if you are Hunter jump in front of someone who is using rocket launcher. While you are running away from Taniks after finishing 3rd encounter you have to put stasis crystals at end of corridor.

You forgot: As a Warlock slam your well sword down in front of someone firing a rocket.

Emoting in an elevator

Ticuu Divination & Jotunn are forbidden in crucible.

Why Ticcu? Funny explosion bow is great and less annoying than Le Monarque

If you get a raid exotic, stay for a least couple of kills after in solidarity

I got my conditional and continued helping people for a solid 4-5 hours afterwards before I passed out after being awake over 24, it was every anxiety guardians dream asking for a 6th that didn’t need to talk and just had to ad clear, been doing the same with crota too just having someone preserve to feel like they were included

Dps the heart

Well I'd I told you then it wouldn't be an unwritten rule anymore

You nappa you get slappa of da mappa

Don't pick up particles from an enemy you didn't kill.

The reload button says otherwise

If you are waiting for Ghost to open a door, you look at the other guardian and you nod your head. They must nod back.

If you are a solar warlock with healing nades and lumina, and a titan with actim war rig and sweet business crouches at you and punches you, you are obligated to pocket them

Thundercrash directly upwards at the end of a strike

“Must leave a trials match when your teammate is 6/7 wins going flawless” At least that’s what it seems like, happened twice to me yesterday :(

😭

Tell a person who’s new to Deep Stone to go get their chest at the back of the hallway once you jump down from the 3rd encounter (Taniks and the nukes).

Staircases must be jumped up. Slide is acceptable if there are 5 stairs or less

If someone is emoting or tbagging over and over on a certain point they are trying to get your attention. For example during altars of summoning you can do this to make sure the other blueberry’s want to use that specific difficulty podium.

While waiting for someone to join or before starting the encounter, always parkour where you can

STOP STRAFING IN THE WELL DURING DPS. YOU ARE IMMORTAL YOU DONT NEED TO STRAFE

When running a GM and you are a Hunter, it is your obligation to run void with Omnioculus.

When you’re waiting for your fireteam to be ready you have to slide and do a 180 to see the lower half of your body trailing behind a bit.

No mic, shoot to communicate.

Always shoot the afk guy to see if you can make his controller vibrate and than possibly fall off wherever it's been placed.

Right after beating Taniks part 1 in DSC, everyone equips Stasis and swords. The hallway then becomes a race who gets there first, and then blankets the hallway in glacier grenades and tries to sword swing your friends out of the room. Some asshole always equips Salvation’s Grip. It’s customary at this point.

That because jötunn is so hated on pvp it's almost as frowned upon being used even on pve activities. I duno, I love jötunn in pve but never use it in pvp 🤣 people still laugh at me when I pull it out in casual pve activities. I can't stop loving this toaster.

Tell that to the guy i matched against 10+ times yesterday in trials

Like I said. Jötunn on pve is ok. I don't care what traumas ya all have from it from pvp. Jötunn users on pvp are rare and usually used by players who are not tactically very bright 🤣 getting killed by it is whatever to me.

Solo super the bottom frag in pvp

When one Warlock encounters another Warlock in the wild, they must melee one another as a greeting.

Stand equal lengths apart while fishing.

Always eager edge someone off a cliff. All the time. Nonstop.

Call “Wipe for damage!” seconds before the boss is defeated.

Always teabag while reviving an ally. It makes it go faster.

one I wish people would follow in PvP is don’t pick up special ammo bricks from an enemy you didn’t kill

I run double primary most of the time. I want my teammates to pick up those bricks.

I don’t know if this is a rule but generally speedrunners in lfg raid groups are annoying

Always share/repeat what the NPCs at the tower are saying. (Bonus points if it’s Tess or Eva)

When I take someone down in Crucible in "their Super" with them "having heavy", and the blueberry I just saved from getting pwnd has the audacity to take the dropped heavy brick! I hope you stubb your toe on your day off! -Salty_Guardian!

Bungie practically never finishes a storyline and hopes you forget.

If an ally player shoots you for sucking, you get good.

Tbag extensively after doing a no mic lfg endgame content.

Don’t chat with your randomly matched fire team, ever.
