āIn the Destiny universeā? How about here in the realā¦ Most people close one eye when aiming a firearm. At least, thatās what they taught us in the Marines.
I think that's if you're not looking through a scope? Having one eye with regular vision and the other looking through a magnifying glass does fuck your perception up a lot. For me anyway.
Did you know they were teaching you wrong? In actual scenarios that aren't target practice you are absolutely supposed to have both eyes open to keep situational awareness.
Youāre supposed to close your eye during the shot, then open it again after. But then againā¦ I was last on active duty more than 25 years ago. Maybe itās changed. š¤·š½āāļø
Not all snipers do the same thing. Some do keep both eyes open. Sorry if I made it sound like something all of them do. But also, modern snipers donāt work solo. They have spotters to help them figure out shots and to watch their backs.
Well, we were taught, in the Marines, to close one eye to sight in, and then open that eye back up while maintaining focus on the target and keeping iron sights in the field of view. But that was twenty years ago I don't know what they're teaching the Marines now. What I do know is that I qualified expert on rifle every single time.
Kinda stupid to be talking about a game where little robots return people to life, and then say āwell, IRL!ā I was army SF for 10 years and can come up with hella ways in universe for psions to be hella amazing snipers. Could be integrated helmet optics correcting for loss of depth perception, cause be auto adjusting scope, could be that itās a fucking video game with space magic and not everything is going to be 100% logical. Who knows.
Cause psions actually have some special psychic powers that let them do a ton of cool stuff. I wouldnāt be surprised if thats where their aim comes from.
Meanwhile, Ticuu's Divination is aiming for your mind several parallel universes ahead.
But actually though, the Ticuu's lore tab is metal as fuck. A psion craftsman trapped himself in a time loop to create every single arrow the bow will ever use. The reason the arrows home in is because he also fired every single arrow and made sure it hit. After he fired every arrow the bow would ever fire, he died.
There's a few theories that Nez was some type of Psion, and they share psychic abilities. Obviously not confirmed but they have similar facial appearances like the thin head and the sharp eyes.
Itās confirmed as of this expansion. In The Visitation lost ghost quest, you hear the Witness talk to Nezarec and he says āThe Psions kneel to youā.
These ones? Agree, they looked tactical af

You can get your mind balls arguing over things like what the first possible, reasonable, and logical questions are and how "do not listen to me" is a paradoxical statement leading to all language losing its meaning, how advertisers have likely already collected enough data on us to predict what you are thinking and how to to fool them by thinking the opposite of what you mean to think until you totally forget about seeing it and destroy the memory, or possibly encrypt it beyond recognition with a private, personal creation myth that begins to take over every thought process you have until the splitting headaches cause you to turn to a xanax prescription and arrive back to "what the hell were we just talking about last year?" Oh right. The picture I have a second chance to now not look at! Then don't.
I dunno, it really doesn't look all that different

NGL I'm surprised this many people haven't seen this. Psions have had their helmet off since the very first leviathan raid.
That said, yea, they're... yea...
I've seen some messed up stuff here on reddit, saw the infamous "funky town video" an stuff alike, I'm not edgy or anything like that, just since I started taking antidepressants stuff like that doesn't affect me as much, but DAAAAANG! You should'da kept this to yourself man... JEEZ!
You mean the big ones, like the glyph wardens from tfs campaign? The first time I knocked one of their helmets off, I stopped shooting because I was so shocked.
Then I promptly murdered it with a couple more machine gun rounds
Looks a lot like a human dalek

How I didn't think about this
I knew he looked familiar
Oh my god he does. DALKE SEC!
The hybrid
Actually Dalek Sec, holy shit
Even got a similar 'man in alien costume' pose
Came here to say this
My first thought was this was something straight outta Dr. Who xD
Keep the helmet on
 "Keep the helmet on" ... I second that!
š¤£
These are more Psions placed in a Witness Washer and bathed in Darkness, Taken Goop and rinsed in Light Juice
Psions have looked like that for years whenever you pop their helmets
Their eyes tend to be an orange hue and they donāt look like rotting prunes. The heads plugs are new, too
Normal Psions do look still look like rotting prunes tho.
Ah.
But hand dry only
Served with a side of orbs.
My first thought was what the fuck is that? Then the second was can it be cooked and eaten?
Transmat firing?
Transmat firing!
Bring a sword! And fork!

Germaine, that you?
Laios, no!
Delicious in destiny fr
How they hitting me so accurately with no depth perception?
In the destiny universe the less vision the better your aim itās why scorn snipers are the strongest sniper unit
āIn the Destiny universeā? How about here in the realā¦ Most people close one eye when aiming a firearm. At least, thatās what they taught us in the Marines.
fair enough I know nothing on proper aim and wasn't sure if that was just an urban myth that was popularized in media
Nope, you're on to something. Close both eyes and the likelihood of shooting yourself goes way up.
"Well, I'm gonna hit *something*"
That's the spirit!
āThen I fired and I hit something, but it wasnāt what I was going for. so I guess I missedā
Some real world snipers use eye patches to preserve night vision, but then theyāll switch the patch to the other eye to make everything easier.
Thatās also why pirates did it back in the day. To have night vision in one eye at night or going below deck.
I thought you aren't actually supposed to close an eye?
I think that's if you're not looking through a scope? Having one eye with regular vision and the other looking through a magnifying glass does fuck your perception up a lot. For me anyway.
It helps with target acquisition for me. Once I find my target though, I tend to either focus with my right eye or close my left one.
Did you know they were teaching you wrong? In actual scenarios that aren't target practice you are absolutely supposed to have both eyes open to keep situational awareness.
Youāre supposed to close your eye during the shot, then open it again after. But then againā¦ I was last on active duty more than 25 years ago. Maybe itās changed. š¤·š½āāļø
Oh no yeah that's right I thought you meant keeping it closed for the entire time with the gun up.
Oh, no! My point was just that, to get good sight picture, one eye would be pretty good for that.
Wait, really? I actually heard that ww2 snipers were trained to keep both open to be aware of their surroundings. If true then it must've been hard
Not all snipers do the same thing. Some do keep both eyes open. Sorry if I made it sound like something all of them do. But also, modern snipers donāt work solo. They have spotters to help them figure out shots and to watch their backs.
That's true, you can't really focus on your aim if you're too scared for your own life. Man, war sucks
You said it, brother.
Well, we were taught, in the Marines, to close one eye to sight in, and then open that eye back up while maintaining focus on the target and keeping iron sights in the field of view. But that was twenty years ago I don't know what they're teaching the Marines now. What I do know is that I qualified expert on rifle every single time.
Yeah, that sounds about right, but itās been 30+ years for me, so maybe my memory isnāt perfect.

Who is this guy? Doesnāt he know heās in a destiny Reddit?
Right??? š¤£ I guess he woke up today and chose āEmbarrass myself.ā
I really love when someone calls me stupid. It really makes me super open to what theyāre about to tell me. š
Also why hive ogres are so good at aiming their laser at your pinky toe. They look for the single pixel of your body that's not behind cover
Cause psions actually have some special psychic powers that let them do a ton of cool stuff. I wouldnāt be surprised if thats where their aim comes from.
Who needs eyes when you can literally feel the weft and weave of the universe?
but can you taste it?
It tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Is that one of those scents you might want to call emergency services for?
Thatās when the stroke has extra flavor š¤£
Luck, genius, or midnight flavor? I also have 2, 4, power, and probably something to do with rowing.
May am I dogface to the banana patch? Call a bondulance! The flavor is Solar with a fresh smidgening of minty Arc and a smooth Resonance finish.
Guardians can't see why Psions love the taste of the weft and weave of the cosmos
grape
I was thinking licorice.
They aim for your mind, not your head.
Shit. Thatās where I keep my mind!
Is it? Then you fooled everyone but the psions.
OHHH that's why they can't hit us Titans! (We don't have a lot going on up there. It's mostly just "hehehe punch.... hehehe!")

They have psychic powers. They can snipe your soul.
10 years of Destiny and this is the first time I see this. Jesus. I see the Nezarec connection.
What Nezarec connection?
There's a few theories that Nez was some type of Psion, and they share psychic abilities. Obviously not confirmed but they have similar facial appearances like the thin head and the sharp eyes.
Itās confirmed as of this expansion. In The Visitation lost ghost quest, you hear the Witness talk to Nezarec and he says āThe Psions kneel to youā.
He looks like he incorrectly trusted a fart...
Cenobite looking ass
That black metal makeup though.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Also one of the band members had a nickname "Tormentor".
The helmet should have stayed on.
I miss the helmets they had in d1 yeah
These ones? Agree, they looked tactical af https://preview.redd.it/x0ubx2a8dr9d1.png?width=332&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4db44f21bfe3e8669a36f841a7f4655d55121ed
YUPPP
That's my face when I eat something sour
damn bro I see why they always keep their helmets on
they don't actually, psions without helmets were in the Leviathan raid
And in Season of Dawn and Season of the Haunted
KILL IT!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!
How do I unsee something
What a terrible day to have eyes

I am very sad now
Put the helmet back on
Beautiful man.
Oddly good long range shooters despite zero depth perception
I'm pretty sure that's where the helmet comes into play iirc
Thatāsā¦ haunting
Reddit has a sense of humour https://preview.redd.it/uwfgwbr03s9d1.png?width=1096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73fa599f77eaeca20aa7c18322ca976310862ac1
This one is Witnessified though, check the green body armor. Normal Psions looks slightly different.
I dunno, it really doesn't look all that different https://preview.redd.it/i0hw1nhscr9d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8aba30de1266a19c95046e8f083211ca6932715e
More pigmentation, now head spikes. But yeah pretty similar actually.
Maybe it's just a different body type / hair style? (I know, I'm just being an annoying devil's advocate right now)
HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT
Pleakley?

Alright you guys are gonna HAVE to hear me out on this oneā¦
PUT IT BACK ON. PUT IT BACK ON!
Man's never played the leviathan raid
bruh...NAW. PUT THAT SHIT BACK
I'm upset and uncomfortable
Never unseeing that. Also the fact that they literally have a brain pattern on their armor.
honestly same? i have seen like, the top of the head, but never the full noggin
I want to Unsee this
Oh thatās a Weaver isnāt it, it looks a teensy bit different than a normal Psion, with those fingers on the back of its head

"Would you like to buy some Skooma?" Literally popped in my head when I saw this
I didnāt need to see that
Nightmare fuel
Jesus WTF š³
Wish I hadnāt
And that's why the helmet stays on...
That's why the helmet always stays on!
This just one more reason for the helmet to stay on
No put it back.
didn't know they was chill like that
āThe helmet stayed onā
Would
Would smash

Looks like he just got caught doing something naughty.
Psions always look so shocked, like they just heard some really juicy gossip š¤£
Weird way to carry Pocky.
Why does he look like he just had a dry finger in the booty during a prostate exam
That's nightmare fuel
NGL I'm surprised this many people haven't seen this. Psions have had their helmet off since the very first leviathan raid. That said, yea, they're... yea...
Donāt stick you dick in it.
He looks like he's about to ask to see my manager.

I hate it
Christ put it back on
Thatās actually sick š„
Iād be pissed off too if I had a face like that. I prefer seeing them with a helmet from now on thank you.
I really wish these guys werenāt just reskinned psions
sometimes its better if the helmet stays on
[Levi psion](https://imgur.com/a/uhh-pretty-lCwtB)
Need to keep the helmets on.
Put it back on
Last time seeing a Psion without a helmet.
Mmmm poke the eyeball out real quick, I wanna try something.

Never played Vox Obscura?
has anyone else ever seen a hive knight without the helmet?
You mean the big ones, like the glyph wardens from tfs campaign? The first time I knocked one of their helmets off, I stopped shooting because I was so shocked. Then I promptly murdered it with a couple more machine gun rounds
where is this?
Mr. Potato head? Is that you???
Huh 10 years first time seeing that
Have not played Destiny in a while, this looks very Marathony
Eww
They sound like birds too
Why it got goth makeup on
Huh, I could have sworn seeing a Psion without their helmet before and I donāt remember them looking like that.
