Summary
OneDestiny 2player humorously managed to turn a PVP situation into something like the iconic Brad Pitt movieFight Club. There are a lot of different things that can be done in the massively multiplayer online FPS, thanks to the endless possibilities brought about by the different modes and features of the game.
Destiny 2isHalodeveloper Bungie’s popular MMO FPS game that’s been going strong for six years now, and while its main gameplay hook is a PVE world that players can either solo or complete with friends and teammates, there’s also a PVP mode called The Crucible. One of the most popular PVP modes in The Crucible is Zone Control, which launched in an update last year. The objective is to gain control of as many point-generating zones as possible and be the first team to reach 150 points.

Because the game allows the player to switch between firearm weapons and melee fighting with fists (which is actually acompetitive strategy inDestiny 2PVP), some funny situations can arise from this every now and then. In one such case, Redditor bandicuet posted their in-game footage of a Zone Control match where he could be seen fighting with unarmed melee attacks. They write that they “started an underground fight club,” and what’s even more impressive is that they didn’t die in the firefight.
His post references the timeless 1999 filmFight Club, starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton. The story of the movie, an adaptation of a 1996 novel of the same name by American novelist Chuck Palahniuk, sees the protagonist start a club of men who get into fistfights with each other as a way to express their masculinity.Fight Club’s twist endingremains one of the best surprises in fiction, and the movie still has a cult following today.
The clip garnered some positive reactions from fellowDestiny 2players, who praised bandicuet’s audacity to fight against fully equipped opponents with only their fists. Some enjoyed theFight Clubreference, with a few saying that it was the best clip that they’d seen recently. Despite these reactions, PVP fanshave generally been unhappy with the mode as of late. Fortunately, Bungie has heard the feedback and recently announced plans to overhaul The Crucible andmakeDestiny 2PVP even better.
On an interesting note, some other games do actually have fight clubs built in their worlds. For example, an important plot point inFinal Fantasy 7 Remakesees Cloud fight in an underground arena under Don Corneo’s mansion, and the most recent instance is a fight club made up of NPCson a random planet inStarfield.
