With the release of The Witch Queen, Destiny 2 has been enjoying a burst in popularity and plenty of positive feedback on the various elements of the expansion, with a particular focus on the campaign experience and the new Raid. As for the campaign, The Witch Queen takes its themes from The Taken King in Destiny, and it builds on the lore surrounding the origins of the Hive and the Hive Gods. The Raid, on the other hand, delves more into what players know about the Darkness and a menacing new villain: The Witness.
The Vow of the Disciple Raid has been regarded as one of the best Raids ever made by Bungie, and part of that charm is due to both the astounding setting and the fact that the final boss does not stand still for damage phases, but rather moves around. The Raid boss, the glaive-wielding Rhulk, is one of the most powerful entities ever encountered by Destiny 2 players, according to the lore. In fact, before becoming the first disciple of The Witness, Rhulk annihilated entire civilizations and felled The Leviathan on Fundament.
Rhulk’s glaive is an iconic weapon, both because of its reference to Lubrae, the boss’ now destroyed home planet, and the fact that it’s a big part of the final Raid encounter itself. The glaive, called Lubrae’s Ruin, has a very distinct look that a Reddit user by the name of ColonelDiddles tried to replicate with their 3D printer, ending up with a 77 inches-tall version of the weapon. While this is not exactly the same scale as Rhulk’s glaive, which is much larger in the game, it’s quite close to the version of Lubrae’s Ruin that Destiny 2 players can get from Vow of the Disciple.
According to ColonelDiddles, the weapon required two prints over a total of four days, with the first print being for the head of the glaive and the second for the components of the shaft. Because the glaive is so massive, it wouldn’t be possible to 3D-print it as a single piece, and those interested in making their own version of Lubrae’s Ruin should expect some issues with the handle because of how delicate that part is. Still, Destiny 2 fans can find this and more 3D models online, and ColonelDiddles pointed out that a good place to find more is a dedicated Discord server linked in the Reddit post.
Destiny 2 weapons are often very unique in their design, which has inspired fans over and over to make their own replicas of their favorite guns. An example comes from the incredible Destiny 2 Rat King replica shared on Reddit a couple of months ago, this time not made with a 3D printer, but rather with resin.
Destiny 2 is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
