u/MahoneyBear 13d ago

Is that the dude with a bot set up to tell him when people are doing div runs and will join if someone leaves? Had that happen my div run, dude had 4K sherpas. Made the entire div puzzles so easy. Got to the final boss and 4 of us had never done it. Dude was just like “I don’t feel like explaining this. You two are team 1, you two are team 2, other dude that’s done this you’re with me on repairs. Just listen for my call outs, let’s go.” Got it first try. And all of this because he wants to get everyone div so no one ever runs the raid again because he despises it. Absolute legend

If you have a chance this weekend hang around the Cosmodrome and help new lights.

I was doing bounties today and saw a couple of titans trying to protect a warsat and getting pushed out by the wizards. I went around did my stuff and ran into another new light in the same situation.

Do it for the Lance and Commander Zavala. You also just look badass. To them I came out of nowhere dropped a rift and made everything explode within moments.

u/Frogsama86 13d ago

I regularly go to Cosmodrome for my dailies that don't require specific places to clear. There's a certain kind of fun watching new lights learning the ropes and stepping in when it gets too overwhelming.

u/Charod48 13d ago

I mean, he really cared about this game, and apparently the people who played it as well.

The full post on Instagramhad 3 pics of Lance, two of which were black and white, one in color, and Zavala.

Not Charon from John Wick, not Thordac, not any of his more popular or well known roles. Zavala. Someone who he only lent his voice to. I don't think it's a stretch to say that he loved Zavala more than most of his other ones, and while so many other voices left for one reason or another, he stayed on, because he loved it.

98

u/KenNoegs 13d ago

Agreed, it's pretty clear he had a special place in his heart for Zavala. Through his mastery of the role and interaction with the community, he carved out a special place in our hearts too. I can't begin to speculate on what Bungie will do moving forward, but if they choose to have Zavala martyr himself to save all of us (which I hope they'll do), my eyes will not be dry. Even if they change voice actors, it'll choke me up. Standing in the tower with Zavala and hearing his voice makes it feel like Lance is still here in some way and when that goes away, it'll take away a character that has dominated my gaming hobby for a long time.

33

u/OfficialGarwood 13d ago

I heard he was a fan of the game as well as being in it. Likely was a project he was passionate and engaged with.

60

u/rei_cirith 13d ago

It was pretty clear he was paying attention to the community and really cared about the game. I think he did a few Destiny meme posts. Not to mention he went on recording for the game through COVID lockdowns.

28

u/Graviton_Lancelot 13d ago

I think when you read between the lines, he made some sacrifices to keep voicing Zavala. There's a reason nearly every major VA other than him has been replaced over the years.

u/somethingfortoday 13d ago

He played as a warlock pretty regularly. He would also, almost always, reveal on social media when he was recording for Bungie. It's say he loved this game and community. I don't know how Bungie is going to handle this with final shape already in the works. I don't think there is any way they can replace him like they did other actors.

He even did a Cameo video as Zavala for someone

u/Jaqulean 13d ago

I was about to say. Went through like 50 posts (on Twitter) paying respects to him, and literally everything they mentioned were his role in "John Wick" and some mentioned his role in "The Wire." Completely ignoring the fact that he played Zavala for a lot longer than any other role he ever had.

105

u/ClockZealousideal914 13d ago

I honestly don’t care about any other game, but Bungie and the Destiny community are one of the best and kindest gaming communities out there.

Yes there are bad times like the death threats, but when it comes to a specific cause, it’s the Destiny community that tries to go above and beyond for that.

I’ll honor lance reddick until the end of time

41

u/Hampni 13d ago

The Destiny community is pretty great if you ignore the bad apples.

Behind every level 1 guardian running around the cosmodrome, there’s two guys with 10,000 hours played in the game happily teaching him to spend all his free time fighting for the Traveler.

u/Apprehensive_Many214 13d ago

Back in Destiny 1, I always kept a set of very low-level armor and weapons on me when the game got stale. I would go to the Cosmodrome and shadow new players until they understood I was there to help. And sometimes, I would enter strikes. It would place me with new blueberries. After entering, I would switch to raid gear and baby them through, never dominating so as not to take all their kills or fun. Often, I'd get a message saying, "I know what you're doing, and thanks!" Destiny has been the best gaming community by far. Now Im a truck driver and only get to go home every couple of months. I haven't done any raids, and I don't have any friends in the game anymore. But I was trying to get the Gjallarhorn and could not solo Grasp of Avarice. I found the Discord Destiny LFG server and begged for a hand. A great guy jumped in with me and another newb. We were awful, but he stuck with us all the way through. Great guy. Can't say enough about D2 players. For every toxic player, I've met 10 nice ones.

u/BillCatsby 13d ago

Considering someone in another post someone found that he has over 2800 hours amongst the two games, she probably knew how much the game meant to him, and him to us.

49

u/Lunar_Lunacy_Stuff Hunter 13d ago

This place can be a fuck fest of toxicity but when push comes to shove we come out swinging with love for our peoples. Lance was one of us and we don’t let fellow Guardians go out without a huge bang. He’s been such a huge part of many of our lives for so long that it would be a great disservice to not honor him how we have been.

Eyes up Guardians.

A silent God cannot give orders, a silent God cannot grieve with those who cry. A slient god cannot fight back and rally the people to never give up hope. Rest in peace Commander for we follow your orders until we are no more.

I love Fringe! I used to watch it on TV, then bought all the blu-rays and recently I have been watching it on HBO max.

I first saw him in Lost, then the Wire. When I started playing Destiny I was so psyched. He was incredible in everything he was in, but his unique way of speaking and top-notch acting worked so well for Zavala.

I have had a love/hate relationship with the game since it was released... but Lance as Zavala was always a bright spot.

Entertainment journalists can really be parasites. What an unnecessarily sensational headline. I won’t give them the click.

I don't normally get hung up on celebrity/actor deaths but Lance's passing fucking stings

u/otua99 13d ago

When creating new lore for later expansions, they should add a titan named Reddick, maybe an auto rifle called Reddick's fury.

u/mrgore95 13d ago

Honestly I'd love if they made an exotic for this years Solstice of Heroes and dedicated it to Lance. It would fit since it's meant to honor and remember those who have defended The Last City.

Next raid boss is death itself. Let’s turn him into a gun and avenge Lance.

u/Dreamscape-Hero 13d ago

Bungie should make an exotic ornament in his memory for whatever exotic weapon he used the most. Then, as people were saying, make it an eververse purchase and donate the profits to the charity

Im 27 years old and there are few times I have felt genuine dread for a celebrity dying and I was genuinely shook when I heard the news. You will be missed commander, see you starside

He's been an iconic voice to players for 9 years. I really hope there is some final recordings for him. It felt like we had so many more years with him.

What sucks even more is that you know the game is going to have to send him out in a blaze of glory

u/Master-Shaq 13d ago

First time I visibly felt sick seeing the him in the news at work. Life is short

u/R34CTz 13d ago

I'm usually not bothered by celebrity deaths but for some reason this one has me upset and genuinely saddened. Perhaps because I started to like his character in Fringe, and then in Destiny 2. But still...this is sad for sure.

u/stillgar23 13d ago

Rest In Peace Commander. Hearing your voice on the tower is bittersweet. I will miss you.

Not played Destiny but looked up articles about this. It’s pretty amazing. Also just makes you sad. He was on my short list of actors where if he was part of a thing, I was likely going to check out that thing. His taste in projects was spot on, he always brought his A game to every role. In interviews and the like he also just came across loving what he did and oddly in Hollywood that is a rare thing.

u/mp4edits 13d ago

He will forever be the our commander

rest well lance

u/ParsleyPatient2102 13d ago

I started playing destiny in the beginning of COVID, only played a bit and just barely picked it up again this past December. I’d seen lance riddick in his previous work as most of us, but it just weird that I feel incredibly sad about this like it bums me out, maybe it’s because of constantly hearing him as Zavala but this man was hilarious and a terrific actor, seriously just taken too soon

u/Maloth_Warblade 13d ago

Well shit I didn't know he was local to me.

u/zenrobotninja 13d ago

I know it's silly bit was really disappointed that the bbc article on Lance's death didn't even mention Destiny and the love the community has for him. So very very happy to know that he knew how much we loved him

u/BLT_Special 13d ago

He deserves his own exotic imo. Call it the Shining Lance.

u/emubilly 13d ago

He left a mark on my soul…I never met him, but know his work was worth viewing 🙏🏽 rest easy now

u/BaneThoth766 13d ago

Had no idea he was married. Pretty cool of his wife to post that.

Not a Destiny player, myself, but y’all have been great with this. He was a great actor

Make a Statue of his Warlock, and throw it right beside Cayde. Dude deserves it.

Incredibly sad story, but kind of give me a little hope for humanity. The people showing love and paying their respects us genuinely heartwarming.

u/ToeKnee_Cool_Guy 13d ago

This is the only celebrity death that I actually teared up for. Sitting at the tower with other guardians all emoting to show our respect the best way we could, seeing hundreds of others posting online to do the same, just hit hard. Lance will be hugely missed.

u/jdrizzlespears 13d ago

Love this man and his family. Haven't picked up destiny in years but his role is what brought me to it. May be in poor taste but I wish it was levar Burton. Eyes up guardian.
