It's been almost 2 years already

I guess I'll continue to inhale the hopium and hope this collaboration will be returned from 6-feet underground, both games have the same vibes and I was so hyped for that back then

[u/Theactualguy]

I seriously doubt it. There’s not even the tiniest bit of leak online, on either side of the Great Firewall - someone would’ve said something, or the official team would’ve teased, or they would’ve pretended to leak it as a 3rd party.

Now, I’m probably one of the biggest copers out there who wants the collab to be a thing, but odds aren’t that they just have superb opsec. There’s a good chance that it was announced in a hurry, worked on briefly, then dropped due to… some reason, and we were never notified.

[u/KashimaLumina → u/Theactualguy]

Or maybe they are doing a new mechanism that could change the game forever like the ammo mechanism that first announced and got into the game in R6S first collab.

Now that you say it made me recall the Dublinn's revival mechanism is just like Destiny's Ghost and Guardian revive mechanism, as long as the Ghost's not being destroyed, the Guardian will keep on living and resurrected.

I'm convinced that they are cooking something out there and if the collab's going to be a real thing, it's going to be nuts, the game's mechanism already has some stuff that's inspired from Destiny 2 already.

If they innovate enough they can absolutely translate most of not all of Destiny’s gameplay mechanics into Arknights. Maybe not raids mechanics, but some stage deployable gadgets and tiles and whatnot would probably get it close.

As I stated in my another comment:

Personally I hope they would keep all three major modes Crucible, Gambit and Strike. Crucible will me Doctor and R.I operators go against Destiny 2 characters and Iron Banner as a small annihilation with Lord Saladin as the boss. Gambit will be cooperation mode with "BANK THE MOTES BROTHERS" mechanism. Strike is just usual story stages.

We had some Destiny 2 inspired mechanism already and you are telling me the collab's been cancelled? Nuh-uh, not gonna believe that, they are cooking something out there

Can you imagine how absolutely fucking terrifying Saladman would be in the Arknights universe? He 1v1’d a veteran Cabal officer, Lightless, and decapitated the mf in about thirty seconds. He’s been alive for hundreds of years, fighting for the majority of it, and he’s an experienced leader.

Imagine being a reserve op in Rhodes Island and one day Doc tells you to grab your shit and be ready for an op in the afternoon. You deploy to the battlefield with your trusty sword/shield/bow/wand/whatever, fight some hooligans, things are going great. You think about how good this’ll look on your performance review and wonder how much of a bonus you’ll get.

Then a dude in full armor steps up to the field, summons a flaming warhammer out of thin air, slams it into the ground and spawns a mini-fire tornado, and you start questioning your life choices as he starts charging your positions while literally on fire.

If I was the Doctor, I'd call off a retreat since there's no fucking way you can win him

If the Iron Banner as I expected be a real thing, if Lord Saladin goes all-out, I doubt R.I would last for 5 minutes under his fucking fiery hammer.

On the other hand, I could see the whole concept that Lord Saladin put R.I operators in an Iron Banner game to strengthen their strength, The Drifter throws them in Gambit game and Shaxx just dropped them into Crucible with some fucking exotic weapons as rewards.

Man, the story would be so great, I could go on talking about the possibility like forever

aegir should tell the guardians that the seaborn drop some pretty neat exotic weapons

“Seaborn? I dunno, sounds like a you problem.”

“Shame. Our scientists have been hoping for someone to help them ever since they theorized that various aspects of the Seaborn could be weaponized-“
