Outbreak Perfected and Whisper of the Worm changed the game’s weapon meta for months - Guardians used them in raids, Nightfalls, and everything in between. The secret was a big part of the excitement, but it was also about the quality of the reward.

I remember pushing back dinner plans so I could get through The Whisper with some friends, or getting inundated with messages telling me “something is happening,” when Bungie launched Zero Hour. When Bungie launched each new mission, it was a massive surprise for everyone. Zero Hour let Guardians adventure through the ruins of the Tower from the original Destiny, and rewarded them with Outbreak Perfected, another incredibly powerful Exotic weapon. This time players had a whole questline to do before unlocking the secret mission. After a few runs of hunting and exploring, players started beating The Whisper and earned themselves the Whisper of the Worm Exotic sniper rifle, which remained the best Exotic in Destiny 2 until Bungie nerfed it in June of 2019.Ī little less than a year after The Whisper mission - during Destiny 2’s dreadful Gambit-focused Season of the Drifter - Bungie created an even better secret with the Zero Hour mission. And to add some pep to the Guardians’ steps, the mission featured a 20 minute timer. The Whisper took players deep inside of Io, through several tricky jumping puzzles, and some serious combat. Fireteams didn’t know what the mission was or what they’d get out of it, but the community raced to log on and find out. It took hours for players to discover, and the news spread like wildfire across Reddit and Twitter. But on July 20, 2018, players found a portal to a new mission.
