** The [[spoiler:Outbreak Prime]] is, as of September 2016, post-''Rise of Iron'', ''the'' most powerful weapon in the game, at a base damage value of 390. It can be considered to be the game's personification of the trope outside of the lore: acquiring it required not only solving an AlternateRealityGame to figure out how to trigger the quest (the process requires [[spoiler: jumping on a bunch of cylinders in an oddly specific way inside one part of the raid, which at one point requires ''decoding binary'']]), but also, after that, you had to [[spoiler:run the Wrath of the Machine raid at least twice throughout the quest, input three codes, one of which ''has no definitive solution'' (the "numbers" inputted have to add up to 730) and the first two change depending on your class, and require performing lots of feats with a Fireteam... consisting only of one Titan, Hunter, and Warlock. That's right, this quest cannot be completed alone, making it the first quest in the game where a majority must be completed with a Fireteam.]] It is currently considered to be the hardest quest in Destiny as of now, fit for what is literally the strongest weapon in the game.

* DevelopersForesight: In the Iron Temple social space, you can attempt to climb Felwinter Peak by jumping up a series of cliffs, and are required to do so to get a hidden SIVA Cluster at the peak. However, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLDxsfOqhaE you can also climb even further]] even though there's really no incentive to it, and the peak actually has been designed for climbing beyond the SIVA cluster spot.

The Gjallarhorn was a random exotic drop.


* Catch22Dilemma: A common issue with finding raid parties if you don't have a lot of Destiny friends. People will often look for others who have beaten that particular raid, or for others who have high end raid gear. To get that raid gear, you need to go on a raid, but to go on a raid you need a party. This is part of the issue with Gajallahorn, a raid reward heavy that was so good against bosses people ''required'' you to have one to go on a raid with them, and so the numerous people who didn't have that would have a harder time even getting a party for the raid that dropped it.

* GreaterScopeParagon: ''Destiny'' has The Traveler, a massive sphere floating above the planet Earth that in the past helped humanity spread across the solar system, before protecting the last of humanity from being destroyed by the ancient cosmic force known only as The Darkness (A being so powerful that its servants are often worshiped as gods) in a climactic battle over the planet long ago, and granted the Guardians their powers. The surviving humans also ended up creating the Last City right underneath it, as the Traveler's powers protected them from marauding alien races. However, its direct influence on the plot is limited due to the fact that it entered a state of stasis as a result of injuries it suffered during the battle with the Darkness, with reawakening it becoming a goal for the player near the end of the game.

* AttackItsWeakPoint: Named "Precision Hits", the weak point mechanic in Destiny is essentially identical to the one in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'', wherein hitting an enemy's weak point (which for humanoid enemies [[BoomHeadshot is the head]]) will deal [[ForMassiveDamage bonus damage]]. This can be anywhere from 1.5x normal damage (hitting a boss or MiniBoss with a regular weapon), all the way up to 5x (hitting a normal enemy's weak point with a sniper rifle), with the usual situation being 3x (normal enemies or players in [=PvP=] being hit by normal weapons). DeflectorShields, seen on various EliteMook and MiniBoss type enemies prevent precision hits, but have their own weakness - the correct type of [[ElementalPowers elemental damage]], whether delivered by a weapon or ability, will destroy them faster.
