Notes

  • Telesto used to be a Power weapon in Year 1.
  • During the Season of Plunder, after the release of Version 6.2.5.3, players noted that Telesto was exhibiting unusual behavior: its weapon model would emit smoke and sparks, and its projectiles would float upwards or bounce around.[1][2] Holding reload would cause the player to hit the weapon, returning it to its normal appearance and firing mode.[1]
    • On November 9, 2022, the official Destiny 2 Twitter account was taken over by Telesto.[3] The following day, a code was posted which unlocked the Schrödinger's gun icon1.jpg Schrödinger's Gun Emblem.[4]
    • Later in the week, Bungie posted a "Telesto’s Week At Bungie" blog post, in which they stated that there were "no puzzles or secrets to be found" regarding Telesto's strange behavior.[5]
