Destiny 2 Expansions are now FREE... if you speedrun them

Is it possible to beat the entire Lightfall campaign in Destiny 2… and then get a refund? According to Steam’s refund policy, you can ask them for your money back if you’ve played for less than 2 hours, so today I tried to beat Lightfall in under 2 hours so I could request a refund.

This is one of the craziest things that I’ve ever attempted in Destiny 2. On average, it takes 8 hours to beat the campaign, so trying to beat it in under 2 hours was a pretty daunting challenge. I spent a while learning some strats and coming up with ideas on how to optimize my run, so I hope you find it interesting! Also this video is pretty different from my usual style, so please let me know what you think!

This video was inspired by LilAggy and UhTrance who have also done refund speedruns in many other games. Check them out!:

Disclaimer: Do not attempt this, you will not succeed if this is your first time on the campaign. Also this video is really just meant for entertainment purposes, of course I already have Lightfall on my main account and this is just a fun challenge I wanted to try on an account that didn’t have Lightfall. Regardless of the outcome of the video, I decided to buy Lightfall on that account too.

    The massive amount of "hurry up and wait" moments in games is a perfect example of why the two hour refund window is not unilaterally reasonable.
  • @NoBloons
    Fun fact about Headlong: I didnt know there was a pattern and I just killed Harpies at random using process of elimination to figure out what the pattern was.
  • @GeldarionTFS
    You have a wonderful ability to tell a great story. Foreshadowing, explanation of major conflicts, motivations, and climaxes. Ability to build tension even when we suspect we know how it plays out. The Lightfall writers could have used you.
  • @kaelfulkerson
    If you didn’t know already, if you look up while eager edging near enemies the sword won’t track nearly as much towards enemies as it would normally
  • @hmast5370
    I think its funny that Osiris makes it out to be that we need strand in order to beat Calus, but without giving us access to any buildcrafting with it until after the campaign your other loadouts are much stronger the entire campaign and picking strand feels more like a punishment than a reward. You don't even have to use strand for any of the final mission if you don't want to.

    When I ran the strike in the campaign, I literally spawned in the boss room with the boss at about half health. Had no idea what happened in the strike!
  • @Blub_blubby
    I'm really starting to love this speed run trend. Started with "uhTrance" for the Resident Evil series as far as I know of, but it's hilarious too see it done in other games.
  • @ProtoMario
    Just for future reference, when in tower if you have light wieght weapons, you get the speed boost with them equipped.
  • @Yilue
    Steam is so nice wtf. Even tho he put that he beat the ENTIRE story they where like sure, you played it within 2 hours it dosnt matter
  • Tip for the elevators: just do them backwards. I was dying constantly until I tried it and get through every single time now. I decided to try it because I knew in Dares you can hit the elevator backwards to get Starhorse favor easily and it worked.
  • @rosalina5328
    This is the first video of yours I've seen and color me impressed. It was really touch and go there for a while but damn you did it!
  • @Droopy2d
    I read the elevator is a high frame rate thing so if you go on the elevator, literally just tab out till you get to the top. I was stuck dying over and over like an idiot too. Wild. Great vid!
  • @bobsteb61
    I recently found ur channel And I Love It! U actually do interesting and unique things. Like this, or the myths videos lol. And u know ur stuff. Keep up the good work
  • greatly done bro the last 20 minutes on the clock were really tensing, love these goofy destiny vids, this game is not one to be taken seriously anyway❤
  • A quick tip for the elevators killing you, just Win+Tab right after jumping into it, and your FPS will be capped at 30 and it won't kill you. Click back into the game window when you land. Alt+Tab works too but you wouldn't be able to see the game window.

    6:57 my heart sank in my chest when this happened!!! Oh! The suspense!
  • @jaromirr7720
    Very enjoyable and relaxed video to watch man, well done!
  • 4:56 if you are grounded; the lifts work 100% of the time… the few times I’ve jumped into them I’ve died too; it’s really annoying, but you have to walk or slide into them
  • @Kirbo112
    Whenever I do lightfall (I'm doing my 10th time no joke) I use this video to remember what mission is what lol
