In an epic display of determination and skill, Team Parabellum has secured the title of World’s First in Destiny 2’s Salvation’s Edge raid after an intense 19-hour marathon of combat. The achievement comes just days after the release of The Final Shape expansion, surpassing the previous record set by the Last Wish raid.
Surpassing Last Wish
Destiny 2 players were skeptical about whether Bungie could surpass the legendary Last Wish raid, but with Salvation’s Edge, they’ve exceeded all expectations.
Team Parabellum, consisting of Tyraxe, Astro, bravo, DrakathShadow, Ham, and Jake (with a few additional “coaches”), endured a grueling 18 hours and 57 minutes to conquer all five encounters of the challenging raid.
For Australian player Tyraxe, the journey began at 3 AM local time, making it an arduous endeavor from the start. Despite facing numerous challenges, including being stuck on the first encounter for an extended period, the team rallied together to overcome each obstacle swiftly.
The Ultimate Raid Experience
In an impromptu interview following the monumental clear, Tyraxe expressed his belief that Salvation’s Edge is the greatest raid in Destiny history. The team emphasized the added difficulty of this race due to the shorter time between The Final Shape’s launch and the unique mechanics introduced in the raid.
One notable change was the nerf of the Warlock’s Well of Radiance, coupled with a dynamic damage phase that required constant movement. This forced players to adapt their strategies on the fly, creating a thrilling and challenging experience reminiscent of Final Fantasy battles.
A Historic Achievement
With their nearly 19-hour clear, Team Parabellum has set a new standard in Destiny raiding, surpassing the previous record held by Clan Redeem for the Last Wish raid in 2018. Following their victory, Destiny 2 players can access the new 12-player activity called Excision, along with a narrative cutscene, unlocking new content for the entire community.
Today marks a historic moment in Destiny’s journey, showcasing the dedication and skill of fireteams like Parabellum who continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the game. Regardless of what lies ahead in Destiny’s future, the legacy of this remarkable achievement will be remembered by players for years to come.
Conclusion
Team Parabellum’s victory in the Salvation’s Edge raid stands as a testament to the dedication and skill of Destiny 2 players worldwide. Their historic achievement not only redefines the standards for raiding excellence but also demonstrates the enduring appeal and excitement of Bungie’s beloved franchise.
As Guardians continue to embark on epic adventures in Destiny’s ever-expanding universe, the legacy of Team Parabellum’s triumph will inspire generations of players to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of gaming.
