While the location and layout may be a bit different, one thing that hasn’t changed between games is Bungie’s penchant for adding hidden secrets and Easter eggs into both locations. In the first version of the Tower, players could hunt down Dead Ghost collectables hidden in plain sight. In addition, an intercom would periodically play in the background usually by prominent NPC characters to help make the place feel more alive. Fans noticed that staying in the Tower long enough would prompt some more comical and fourth wall breaking announcements.

While the Destiny 2 Tower has done away with the intercom, it still has plenty of its own secrets including a ball game that many Guardians activate upon arrival. However, one player noticed that the Hangar location features a small and unique feature that many players have likely ran past without even noticing. After running into the Hangar section of the Tower, there’s what appears to be a simple “Days Without Incidents” sign hanging on the wall to the left.
What redditor iwannaburger notices is that the number displayed dynamically changes based on player behavior inside the Tower. If a player dies while in the Tower, such as jumping off the side, the number displayed on the sign decreases by 1. However, if 20-30 minutes go by without a player dying, which typically represents 1 in-game day, the number increases by one.
Naturally, fans have had some fun with this revelation with some joking that if the number ever reaches 100, Bungie will gift everyone a Gjallarhorn, a classic Destiny 1 exotic rocket launcher. Others jokingly commented that its related to a secret challenge, or that it’s related to the mysterious Wish 15 from the Dreaming City.
While the sign isn’t new as some fans have been well aware of it since the game launched, it likely isn’t going to be the last change the Tower sees. Already, fans have seen a number of unique events happen inside the Tower since Destiny 2 launched including The Almighty being shot out of the sky by the Warmind Rasputin as well as the Traveler reawakening. Next season, the Black Armory vendor Ada-1 makes her grand return offering players armor focused mods, materials, and gear. In addition, Ada-1 will be the primary source of Destiny 2’s transmog system which takes any armor piece and converts it into a universal ornament.
Destiny 2: Beyond Light is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
