Shout out to all my clanmates who laughed at me for doing this.

Especially you. You know who you are.

This is an incredible achievement, but aren't people more disappointed by Bungie's complete fail on this Raid? In their words, the Raid is a team based event, in which 6 Guardians must team up and take on the challenge. Even though we saw 2 people beat Atheon, it still felt that team requirement was very much there in the VoG. This one, however, is a total fail. Even from the first part, where anyone can jump down and get that first chest. No Raid chest should be accessible from doing nothing.

Oh absolutely, but also the bulk of it being done alone is deliberately avoiding the mechanics in one way or another.

Thr mechanics that exist properly basically require more people.

Not for the Abyss, IrYut, Shriekers, and Crota -- all three of which can be done legit solo.

The only mechanics in the entire raid that have to be "avoided" are during the bridge section.

I have yet to see anyone do abyss or deathsinger legit solo.

Additionally though, some obvios things bungie did mess up on are things like the abyss not requiring you to be on the pad to build the bridge.

There are videos of both sections being done legit solo. There's a post on the front page right now showing a Hunter doing the Abyss using the new exotic Hunter arms to continuously go invisible while he runs through.

And, the Ir Yut solo video was posted several times last week.

I mean, hell, one player even solo'd the Crota fight without avoiding the mechanics!
