Update 3:
YouTube user Jonty Alphaville uploaded the following video today, which features a pile of bones that give you the option to disturb the remains. By doing so, you’ll hear the words “a million deaths are not enough for Master Rahool.” Since Master Rahool is the Cryptarch of the Tower, this is Bungie’s way of poking fun at the loot caves.
Update 2:
The Destiny update will require some users to install the game again on their console. Pardon the inconvenience as we support Destiny.
