What kinds of games did you play before Destiny came out? Were you a Halo guy? I’ve never gotten into speedrunning at any other games. And then later on, when Taken King came out, we merged together, and that’s when we created the ultimate team.ĭid you ever speedrun any other games? Or was it just this friendly competition with Ehroar that really started that for you? They were always faster than us on Strikes, but when it came to the raids, Redeem was always the fastest.
And then my competitor, Ehroar, who’s a really good speedrunner as well-he was in a different team called Hidden Machine-we competed a lot.
I started doing, like, solo runs on the Nightfalls. Probably back at 1.2-that was the House of Wolves era-that’s when I started doing speedrunning. Have you been speedrunning Destiny since the beginning? At what point did that become your preferred way to play the game? And now that we have our dream team all set up, we felt pretty confident. We were pretty confident, as a whole, that we were gonna get World’s First, because in the past-back in King’s Fall -we got World’s Second for hard mode, and the only thing that was holding us back was a few members. Were you guys expecting that at all? Did you think it was in the realm of possibility? I spoke with the Titan himself over Discord we discussed Destiny ’s competitive scene, the ins and outs of clan relationships, and how to prepare for a six-player blind speedrun.Ĭongrats on the big finish. By his own admission, Shawn isn’t much of a talker, but he is one of the very best players in all of Destiny. “Not many people really know that PvE can be pretty competitive,” says Modern Tryhard, “but speedrunning-wise it can be.” A seventeen-year-old high school senior from upstate New York (what he calls the “dead center” of the state), Tryhard’s first name is Shawn.
But last month’s Rise of Iron expansion marked their first chance to make history forever by achieving World First, and they seized it in only an hour and fifty-six minutes. The group of accomplished speedrunners-made up of Tfue, FleshCrunch, PvT Nuclear, Ehroar, MagneticRubber, and Modern Tryhard-had previously set global speedrunning records for a number of PvE activities in Destiny. Many six-Guardian fireteams entered the Perfection Complex, but only Clan Redeem emerged victorious with the World-First finish. On September 23rd, Bungie launched Destiny ’s fourth and perhaps final raid, Wrath of the Machine.
