Destiny 2: hear the hidden ‘Baby Dog' strike intro that nearly broke Lance Reddick

“Operation…Baby Dog? Why does this say Baby Dog?”

Strikes can generate multiple different introductory spiels in Destiny 2, but some are less likely to pop than others. This ‘Baby Dog' intro for the Lake of Shadows Strike, which is exclusive to PS4, is extremely rare.

The tweet resulted in some responses from ‘Z', who works as a senior writer at Bungie who wrote the exchange and was evidently delighted to see it not get cut.

HAHA

the odds of triggering this intro are so low… and i am still astounded that it wasn't cut. bless your merciful hand, @thislukesmith https://t.co/0GHra1P6iN

Lance Reddick (who is great in Destiny, as he was on The Wire and both John Wick films), it seems, had a difficult time with the line, but managed to get through it like the pro that he is.

ALSO, fun fact, @lancereddick is a consummate pro in the booth; he studies his scripts; he comes in ready to BE ZAVALA… and this broke him https://t.co/CerO9QB7Qk

Another response, from writer Guillaume Colomb, leads us to believe that there are several other lines like this hidden away in the game, albeit with very low chances of playing at mission openings.

Can't wait until they find the OTHERS low frequency dialogue we've put in that game… Ahaha…
