Destiny 2 - NPCs Reacting to Cayde's Death 

Earther I get what you mean but have you listened to his tapes? This mans a couple thousand years old and children have died in his arms in villages he wished he could protect without showing his identity. He knows what you’re feeling, he’s numb to it. He has no kind words to offer, only advice and an outlet for your anger. Healing comes in many shapes and forms and he knows nothing he can say can help. Nothing helped him when his family died, when he lived through multiple apocalyptic events and grasped the concept that being immortal as a Risen means he will watch everyone he gives a damn about die while he is cursed with a life he hates. He doesn’t trust his ghost and he has died multiple times from hunger only to be resurrected... still hungry. He knows. Trust me he knows what you feel and he’s offering his solution... He respects you more than most know. Not just as a killing machine, but as a partner and he knows that where he can help is giving you an outlet to vent.

@@illastar Not only that, his Quip of "Go out with a Gun in your hand and loot in your pocket", makes one realise that Cayde wouldn't want the guardian to be so full of revenge... And from this Quote, neither does the Drifter.

Nobody: The Drifter: Cayde died? Well that's crazy but uh I dont remember askin

@@Victor-056 the drifter just wants you to be happy and live your immortal guardian life to the fullest since any moment can be your last , how it's pointless to weigh yourself down with revenge and dwelling on the pain since you'll feel empty by the end of it all

Dude I read this comment and almost died while eating ramen

Best reaction.

Drifter: *_HOW 'BOUT GAMBIT? YOU'RE JUST STANDING THERE._*

More like “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.” “I feel terrible!”

Should I want to transfer failsafe into an exo and give her sweet business?

@- IronArachnid for me the captions said laughter

Yeah, Cayde charmed pretty much everyone that he talked too. Even Failsafe, and her evil twin Failsafe

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Failsafe made me cry, I wanted to hug the server

why ? She doesn't even know she's sad lmfao

The failsafe one broke me aswell. It's that line about experiencing loss cause it's so fucking true even if you don't care about Cayde, once you think about it it messes you up.

@Vox4l Not to mention how his ghost kept bringing him back every time he starved or froze to death.

@Is me ? I also love how she normally refers to him as "The Cayde-6" or "The Cayde Unit", but in this instance, she refers to him as just "Cayde". It really shows she really is more than just a simple AI, that she has complex feelings and emotions and that she can get attached to people and I love it.

How would a hug even work... she makes an exo for herself somehow or, maybe into a Lil bit that you can hug

@Is me ? i swear if i was a guardian i would steal a redjack frame and download exodus into it so she can leave nessus

Failsafe?

Yeah.....but this isn't what cayde want, seeing us this miserable, He.....he would want us to cheer up. Let's open a cold soda/alcohol and take a swig for the gunslinger of the Vangaurd. The pain is only in our minds, but no matter what we try to do help it stop it hurting. We can numb it, We can forget it, and We can even.....put us out of our misery, it won't make it go away, it'll only just make it worse and more worse. But there is a way to heal from these emotional wounds, if we remeber the good times and keep our spirits up, then all wounds will be gone.

@@ravenbearden6695 that's all good, but try not to cry when hearing "i'm coming home, Ace".

@@kakhakheviashvili6365 I didn't

I felt bad for her...like, really bad

Why would you say that? Why would you put that awful, terrible, depressing thought in my brain?

@@seanathaalexand we can always visit her in his stead where he used to stand in the tower hangar.

In the new lore books that came this season (Season of Arrival)(Won't go into too much detail due to mild spoilers since the lore book is supposed to be in pace with the Season's timeline) Colonel is not forgotten and makes a new friend.

Cobalt Epsilon thank you for that my friend

@@cobaltepsilon1080 What is this lorebook entry called?

Drifter meant its the cycle of life. Everyone has a bullet, their own death, be guardian,human,cabal,arkborn,hive we all die one day. Asher meant what you do in your life, and every step you take will have consequences.

Haha last word go bang bang

@@sundew3848 haha almighty go smash

Lucas Perez almighty go big kaboom

Hollow knight nice

He probably killed Cayde tho... But that's just a theory, A MEME THEORY!

@@LermaBean no he didn,t read the lore BUT ITS OK COZ ITS A GAME THEORY

Drifter has always been one of my favorite characters tbh

Guy made Gambit. I can't forgive him for that

@@apricotcharms4126 gambit is amazing

Ikora was cayde’s true friend as well

Theres a lot of Ikora and Cayde pal-ing around. They were pals. His Caydes Stash recording for Ikora is pretty nice.

Zavala, as much as cayde annoyed him, Zavala enjoyed Cayde's light heartedness even in the face of danger.

If you read some of the lore, Zavala and Ikora cared about him a hell of a lot. I can't remember what lore entry it was but they were both sat next to each other in the rain and both said they wished Cayde were with them

Failsafe was quite close with cayde too tho

His fire team was two hunters, he knows.

you shouldnt have ever hated him though

I can choose and do whatever I please, bud.

His backstory was actually very tragic, his friends died at The Pyramidion and Brakion, Asher was cornered and his arm and ghost was dipped in Radiolaria and thus his arm was and his ghost became Vex, he wanted to put his ghost out of his misery because of the traumatic exploration. Because of the Vex, he's the way he is and I feel bad for what happened to him, makes doing The Pyramidion a whole lot more satisfying.

@@LermaBean Actually the fireteam that went with him are still alive. They just don't keep in contact.

I am very attached to him, despite how cold and rude he is. He’s dying, basically trapped in the Rupture because of his very delicate health. I find his frustration a bit endearing, I must say.

This definitely shows so true in the lore. Though he may have a smile on his face, this man knows how to hold a grudge.

Well he had to deal with warlords like shaxx and many others, over time whilst losing those he loved he learned that nothing lasts, best he can do is move on and not let his emotions drive him to the same fate.

You and me both, never had the courage to discard it

I still have mine I refuse to discard it.

Wait what do you do with the coupon?

Raven Ware I don’t think it has any practical use,but mine’s still around

I've still got mine

I guess she's just emotionless

@@some_reallysmallbreakfast1360 she wasnt ment to feel emotions... but she does anyways.

@@some_reallysmallbreakfast1360 She was supposed to be emotionless, but the two crewmates quest, giving them more supplies than she was supposed to give, and Exodus Black mission, wanting to find out what happened to her crew, showed that she began to develop emotions. She begins to care for both our Guardian and Cayde, making us her new Captain. It is clear that she shouldn't have had them since an emotion carrying AI might breakddown in a non opportune moment where it needs to be in control or might give in to an enemy if they threaten to kill one of the crewmates, but yet she did so. Cayde's death too is evidence she has emotion, both sides of her AI.

Not only that, in the Strike where we help her with the Fallen in her ship, the exchange. *Ghost: Exodus Black is all clear. Failsafe, you feeling any better? Failsafe: Yes, thank you! As well as a ship AI can when her crew has died. Ghost: We’ll always be here for you. Cayde: And who’s better than us? We’re awesome. Failsafe: Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.* Our Ghost, Guardian and Cayde were her new crew, now she just has Ghost and Guardian...

Ordis is a dude im pretty sure

And thats called bipolar

@@gregbalisong4203 oh sorry. 😅when i said she i meant failsafe right there. she did the heartbroken cry then jumped back to happy. i was thinking of when ordis was offering to listen to the operator saying very sincerely "i am just a bug-addled cephalon, but... if you ever need to talk" he switches to being super happy "ordis would be happy to hear how depressed you are!"

Damn, now I feel even worse for the old boy. Ordis has already been through alot.

Well I f f f feel... f f f feel.....𝙰𝙰𝙰𝙰𝙰𝙰𝙰𝙰𝙰

*guardian is sad cause cayde died* Asher: Have you ever heard of the tragedy of Darth plagues the wise?

I picked exo hunter male before I even knew he was a character quit destiny 1 after the taken king (best dlc imo) and then bought destiny 2 but never got the dlcs, I wanna avenge him now

Read his lore, the guy got resurrected during the beginning days of the Dark age. He's seen some Lovecraftian shit and lived to tell the tail. Anyone would want some normality after that.

Later today, you'll have the Emissary of The Nine to have words about Cayde

Xur: “that sucks man but who asked?”

@@fr6938 "anyway the nINe gave me these, buy them, now."

Don't blame him. His will is not his own.

Damn too bad, he always bought parts for his ace and blackmarket ramen

I mean, some good came out of it. Crow more than made up for the mistakes of his past life and became a favorite of many.

If ONLY had good endings

i mean crow isnt evil

At least he offered to talk if you ever needed it.

With this? No, he was offering whiskey.

HE LIVES!

Never.

"DING!" -The Drifter

What do you mean don't know what happened to him?

Not even VEX tech may work

not to mention we only were able to bring Saint-14 back because the vex couldnt delete the light so they drained it and placed it elswhere. and they built a memorial for him as even the vex know a valiant warrior when they see one

It only works on mercury

I do too.

I got tons after I found one of his "Stashes" in the cosmodrome

NOT ANYMORE :'(

Rip

makes it worse knowiing the fact they were very close, cayde would play cards with her because she reminded him of his wife from the golden age..
