Unlocking a player title in Destiny 2 is meant to feel like an accomplishment. You unlock a special gold seal for your book of in-game Triumphs. You get a cool tag next to your name so you stand out from the crowd. You rank among the very best at a particular part of the game – collecting guns, beating raid bosses, fighting in Gambit or Strikes or the Crucible.
You’re not really supposed to unlock them all.
But after 1672 hours, someone has. They don’t think they’re the first. But in a thread sat at the top of Reddit’s Destiny board today, Dawncraftian is being celebrated for their enormous achievement.
Speaking to me this afternoon, Dawncraftian explained it was a huge personal achievement – something which had taken an enormous amount of effort and playtime since titles were introduced in Destiny 2’s 2018 Forsaken expansion.
It started with just a couple of titles, Dawncraftian said. And then it became a hobby.
“I’d just look at what I had to do and knock them out,” Dawncraftian told me. “My motivation was originally due to me going through a very difficult part of my life so I needed a timesink, and grinding out titles helped me through that.”
