The newest Future 2 raid has been utterly demolished simply over a month after the Future 2 Root of Nightmares launch date. That’s proper; not content material with beating Lightfall’s hardest content material by themselves, one unbelievable Guardian has gone one step additional within the FPS recreation and finished it with out dying, finishing the Future 2 Root of Nightmares solo flawless problem, the primary of its sort in Bungie’s house sequel.
Guardian ‘Xemo’ – who goes by ‘x3mo’ on Twitch – reside streamed all their makes an attempt on the problem, which they estimate “took about 170-200 whole hours” to tug off. The complete run, which you’ll be able to watch under, is simply shy of an hour lengthy, however contains a few transient five-minute pauses previous to the Zo’Aurc and Nezarec fights whereas ready for Future 2’s inner heavy ammo refresh timer to tick down. They take this time to get in just a few video games of Snake, in addition to finishing their every day Wordle.
Seeing Xemo utterly obliterate the hardest encounters Lightfall’s raid has to throw at them with out 5 different gamers by their facet is, fairly frankly, a factor of absolute magnificence. Watching their Warlock soar throughout the arenas completely and drop grenade after grenade with easy precision (I like that toss animation) to handle the incoming enemy spawns is mesmerising, and also you’ll in all probability be taught one thing about good technique alongside the way in which as nicely.
Xemo maintains a fairly calm manner all through, too, though that adjustments considerably upon Nezarec’s defeat, the place a loud yell of pleasure is adopted by, “I simply woke my total f***ing home up, by the way in which!” They get reasonably fortunate, too – not solely does Nezarec cancel his personal wipe assault by deciding to slam assault on the final second, however Xemo misses a key shot proper on the climax, nearly dropping his Radiant timer, just for the stray bullet to catch an enemy within the again and save his run.
This comes simply a few weeks after a Future 2 participant generally known as ‘NAPainter_’ proved that such a run was potential by finishing the planet’s encounter, Macrocosm, by themselves. Sometimes, Future 2 raids are in-built a approach that makes sure encounters close to or actually not possible to complete with out at the least one different participant concerned.
We right here at supply our utmost congratulations to Xemo for this momentous achievement, which makes Root of Nightmares the third Future raid to be cleared solo and flawless – however the first in Future 2. Beforehand, each Crota’s Finish and Wrath of the Machine have been cleared by a single participant with out dying within the unique Future, though the latter really occurred after the launch of Future 2.
If you wish to make your individual run at Nezarec, you’ll wish to examine our Root of Nightmares information rigorously first. Ensure you convey the most effective Future 2 Exotics in Lightfall, although, and make sure you’re rocking among the finest Future 2 builds as nicely, otherwise you gained’t stand an opportunity.
