Destiny 2 Players Are Having an Emotional Moment as Astro Bot Resurrects Their Favourite Hunter Vanguard
Released on September 6, Astro Bot instantly became the talk of the gaming community. The game captured players’ hearts with its excellent platforming gameplay, stunning visuals, and intuitive controls. Thanks to the overwhelmingly positive reviews, the developer expressed their gratitude and announced that they would release a brand new speedrun level every week, starting from October 17.
While players were surprised by the various levels and all the special bots to add to the crew, no one expected to see the return of the beloved Cayde-6 from Destiny 2 with his Ghost Sundance, on November 14th. The moment the character made his appearance in the platformer, the gaming community was left in awe, flooded with emotions, especially nostalgia.
Cayde-6 Made a Surprising Appearance in Astro Bot
For those who don’t know Cayde-6, he is one of the hunter vanguard from Destiny 2, who faced a tragic death in the Forsaken expansion, alongside his ghost Sundance. His death left a long-lasting impact on the players. So, when players saw him make an unexpected appearance in Astro Bot, players were immediately shocked then the emotion turned into nostalgia.
His appearance is part of the event called Building Speed, which introduced 5 challenging levels (one each week). Each of these levels allows players to rescue 2 special bots which can then be added to their crew. The special bots contain characters like Eve from Stellar Blade, Helldiver from Helldivers 2, and many more (10 special bots in total).
To rescue and add Cayde-6 along with his Ghost: Sundance, players will need to complete last week’s challenge level called Rising Heat. After completion, players can interact with and add Cayde-6 along with Sundance to their crew. Even though it’s in a different game, seeing the beloved Hunter Vanguard back on screen and alive has been a thrill for many fans.
🚨CAYDE-6 IS IN ASTRO BOT!

The entire comment section is filled with players expressing shock and joy at seeing such a memorable Destiny 2 character in a completely different game. Fans are not only super excited about the character but are also even more eager to jump (literally as well) into the event and collect all the special bots.
Players are Looking Forward to Future Events in Astro Bot
With the introduction of all special bots in the new event Building Speed, Astro Bot has captured the attention of the gaming community, especially Destiny 2 players. Now that the event is coming to a close, they are expecting to see more fun and engaging events like this.
The Asobi Team has done exceptional work since the launch of the game, with various fixes and new features added over time. Players are enjoying all the new levels and events in the game, and due to all this effort by the developers, players have set very high expectations for what’s to come in future updates.
While the latest event showcased the potential of the developer and its commitment to enhancing the player experience, this has also placed a heavy burden on its shoulders to one-up its previous efforts. However, due to the team’s great track record, players believe that the developers will live up to their expectations and are looking forward to similar events in the future.
In the end, the Building Speed event has been a great success, and players are enjoying the appearance of all special bots. However, the inclusion of Cayde-6 has shown that, even though the character has died in his game, his legacy will live on in players’ hearts.
