In the long and infamous history of buggy PC gear, we’re not sure there has been a weapon more infamous than Destiny 2’s Telesto. The intended function of this exotic fusion rifle is to exhale multiple bolts of Void his energy that detonate after a short delay. When working properly, Barney the Dinosaur looks like he’s been hit by a pipe bomb. This is an excellent weapon for clearing out waves of trash mobs. However, telesto rarely works correctly.
At the time, this weapon instantly regenerated the player’s abilities, creating infinite heavy ammo, doubling its own damage, over a secondIt was also responsible for multiple game crashing glitches and had to be disabled by Bungie multiple times while another Band-Aid fix was applied.There is also a site called telesport report It is dedicated to the time elapsed since Telesto last broke the game, with 38 different instances of Telesto-related shenanigans recorded to date.
That number seemed set to reach 39 following a hotfix that was applied just before the weekly reset. Telesto began to smoke and spark as if it was really broken. To make matters worse, purple bolts now float in the air instead of tracking enemies. Really he Telesto seemed to be up for nothing so we bugged Merrihell again. But in a twist that was probably supposed to come, given how flavorful it looked, this “bug” is actually an Easter egg tribute to Telesto’s infamous reputation.
As reported by fate bulletin, holding Reload causes the player character to slam the side of the gun with their fist. After that telesto works fine. Below you can see it in its first broken state.
And now watch me give it a slap to fix it. After that it will start properly.
I reached out to Bungie as a matter of form, but there’s no way this wasn’t an intentional tribute. We’ve already seen the sucker. [insert hobby horse] Instead of adding this kind of no-frills stuff, 1) the art team is not the team working on PvP connectivity issues, and 2) video games are supposed to be fun, so it’s okay to make fun stuff. It’s a fundamental misunderstanding. Anyway, Telesto fans As a card-carrying member of the club, I love to sprinkle in this little extra flavor and hey, who says Telesto isn’t breaking anything behind the scenes…
