The enigmatic Darkness isn't the only foe Bungie is equipping its Destiny players to fight: the former Halo series developer has gifted one of its players with "Fate of All Fools," an Exotic-category scout rifle not seen anywhere else in-game. The reason: This particular player is recovering from multiple brain surgeries by playing and relaxing with Bungie's quasi-MMO shooter, and community manager David "Deej" Dague wanted to help.

Reddit user "Bkbunny87," the player's spouse, posted the whole story on the Destiny subreddit, sharing how the player's doctor recommended video games as a physical therapy tool and how happy the player was to receive his surprise gift. "He has all but worshipped Bungie since we played the first Halo together in high school, and for a household as geeky as ours this is sort of the equivalent of a major sports team sending him something in the mail. Only better," Bkbunny87 wrote. A follow-up post shows the player proudly displaying his new gear.

Enjoy your unique armament, Guardian.
