Destiny 2 comes full circle as players honour the tradition of pushing bosses to their deaths—this time by becoming a porcupine and smacking them with a void football

Destiny 2's sun is setting, and it's perhaps fitting that one of the oldest traditions of the franchise—that is, pushing bosses to their doom—is happening once again. Except this time, they're becoming porcupines holding void light footballs which smacks bosses so hard they fall to their deaths.

The method, as explained here by YouTuber InSaNeGaMeR300, involves combining a crossbow with high Persistence (to make the bolts stick for longer) and the Sentinel Titan's Ward of Dawn ability.

See, Ward of Dawn creates a protective dome of void light which you can pick up and reposition—turns out, when you do that, any crossbow bolts you've stuck into the central orb will travel with you while you carry it under your arm like a football. Hit an enemy with the Ward of Dawn while you're all porcupine'd up, and they'll go flying.

The game just assumes you beat the bosses in question fair and square, which means players have been using it to farm the Pantheon raid gauntlet, which returned in Destiny 2's final update.

It's something of a full-circle moment, as back in the Destiny 1 days, players would push the Vault of Glass boss, Templar, into the void with pulse grenades.
