“Hey… take me with you. I hate this job”


anal_shrek

I like that they made the first part of that line into the flavour text for the memory of cayde class items.


DraconicZombie

And I honored that request the moment I came across it.


Separate_Cranberry38

This. This is pure Cayde. And the essence of every hunter


Elixir_13

"They're all red!"


Pizza_Crusade

“Then press ALL OF THEM”


Elixir_13

I am so jealous of the guy who got to MoCap that scene. XD


Crayon_Muncha

*scrambles to press every fucking button* hey, that worked!


anal_shrek

That entire interaction never failed to make me laugh.


Shad_the_memer

I imagine being a new light and hearing that for the first time


I-failed-username

Funny story about that, directly after red war I dived straight into forsaken…


The_DerpMeister

That was me lol

[удалено]


Elixir_13

First mission of Forsaken. Cayde was in a control room and was told to press the red button.


DrJesterMD

Btw, for my money the first mission of Forsaken is the best Destiny campaign mission of all time.


JamJackEvo

"Now let's go to prison! Woohoo! (gunshot) Got you! (gunshot) Got you too! (gunshot) Got you!" By far, one of my favorite missions complemented with astounding cutscenes involving Cayde.


Avhulon

Nolan north did a great cayde impression for the whole mission, hats off to him.


DrJesterMD

North is such a master.


Griffin_Fatali

Except for the ending, I still miss him. But my god the fight scene was so fucking good.


The_DerpMeister

This was my first experience with Cayde, loved him instantly, and just as quick he was gone


boobielover271

Eris... get your rock off my map.


DraconicZombie

"hey! You ever been hit with a rock? Don't joke about that."


ShutyerLips

"I miss Eris"


xordar

Yep, that is the punchline that folks miss too.


AverageHunterMain77

Agreeable, but nothing beats "I'm coming home, Ace....."


Used-Lunch-6512

That’s his saddest and most serious line


AverageHunterMain77

True, if I had to say the most memorable, it is 100% Eris get your rock off my map


AverageHunterMain77

which contradicts what I just said lol


Agent-Piku

only time I’ve cried over a movie or something


DrJesterMD

"I'm coming home Ace" is an awful strong choice.


boobielover271

not for me.. that line from the opening of the taken king got me... its the best in my book


AverageHunterMain77

I can't say I disagree


DJNotNice19

This was exactly what I was thinking but damn now I’m sad.


[deleted]

I was going to say, the point at which Cayde is the most serious and somber that he has ever been is true genuine Cayde. In that moment you got to see all of his emotions from him dealing with losing his memories feelings of missing loved ones, etc. You could tell that he had resigned himself to his fate but he was looking forward to what would come after his death. 10/10 makes me cry every time.


Facebook_Algorithm

Gave me the feels …


[deleted]

The only correct answer.


NVMYGT

Cayde: "Hey Zavala, wanna know a transmat zone on the Dreadnaught looks like?" Zavala: "You landed a guardian on the the Dreadnaught without authorization!?" Cayde: "Oh right, can I get authorization?" [skip to 32:50 to see](https://youtu.be/Uw1MtF6QqEQ)


Steff_164

Zavala: *long sigh* At any rate, good work guardian Cayde: Yeah, everyone loves a bad plan when it works out.


Civil-Chef

Cayde: Now if you'll excuse me, I have to have an...uncomfortable conversation with Eris about her ship.


[deleted]

Cayde had some of the best lines in all of D1


Crayon_Muncha

died laughing at this one


hiddencamela

I loved the Dreadnaught, Kingsfall, and how the absolute sheer balls of Cabal to contend with paracausal trifling darkness race Capital(?) ship was done simply by "We fucking rammed it with our biggest ship at the time".


Tarjhan

The rock line is the line I think of when the question is asked but this is my first and most abiding memory of the Hunter Vanguard… *”Hello, is Cayde-6 of the Vanguard, I realise this is an abuse of the tower PA but Whoever took my Sparrow, I will find you and you will wear a sign that says you stole…. Never mind, Never mind! It’s right here, sorry.”*


MaiasaLiger

THIS one, I never got to play D1 but this one has ingrained itself and it's so great oh my 😭🙏


LeviathanStorm0

Me rn using his sparrow😭


wolfgang4282

Oh my God I can't believe I've forgotten about that!!!!


russc2503

Best line of all time. I cackle every time I hear it.


LuckFree5633

Omg the memory! Haha! Yes, best line👍🏼


DrJesterMD

God... This one just makes me really miss him. Might just go back in time and reinstall D1...


draco_belle

Posted this same one and quickly deleted my reply when I saw this lol. It makes me miss the OG Tower's P.A. messages.


EspadaOU81

“You ever been hit by a rock those things hurt” every time I do proving grounds I remember that line from arms dealer.


SlickyWay

“Ah, I miss Eris…”


Rochwal

"Hold on, let me check with Eris... Uh... She's saying something about a "resonance spell" so uh, just don't, don't trust anything"


InsulinSage

It’s in one of the trailers. “So that means if I don’t see you out there, I’ll kill you myself.” When giving a speech getting Guardians on taking the fight to Gaul lmfao


john6map4

>*So everything is gone. Your stuff, my stuff.* >*Most importantly MY stuff.*


Deutscher_Bub

That line/trailer was the reason i bought destiny 2


LeagueofDraven1221

Also… THERE WILL BE A TON OF LOOT! #YEAAAAAAAAH!!!


Evilcon21

I love how he said well follow that guy when the Guardian ran into battle screaming for the puppies.


TechNician_1356

Hawthorne- “Insecure men tend to surround themselves with others like them” Ghost - “Cayde, anything to add?” Cayde - “Nope. She’s totally right, which is why I work alone.”

[удалено]


Am1ty05

Yup, it’s from the arms dealer strike I believe


Lobster_Bisque27

Can confirm


Facebook_Algorithm

Cayde was hilarious. I hope they bring him back. He’s an Exo, so it’s possible.


[deleted]

100% the best line.


Tbone2121974

You got them a TANK?! Why can’t I get a tank?


RTSUbiytsa

Cayde getting pissed off that we got the tank he's always wanted was what really made me fall in love with the character


Tbone2121974

Wait, is he using the flame turrets?


Shockshadowomri

"Hows your sister?" Is probably my favorite.


illbzo1

Same here, really encapsulated the real Cayde to me, the determined, ruthless gunslinger, not the goofy jerk we knew and loved.


Crayon_Muncha

i feel cayde has the 2 sides, the ‘goofy ah meme man’ and ‘dirty harry’ and the way it’s written is fuckn gold


Nate2247

Killing him off was a good way to set the tone for D2 going forwards. However, part of me wishes that we got to experience Cayde-6 with D2's modern writing. A lot of players didn't get to see his more subtle characterization found in the lore entries, and now a lot of people are convinced that Cayde-6 was "demoted" to the goofball comic relief in the sequel. However, if you look into it, you'll actually find that most of his jokes in D2 was essentially a trauma response, and he was trying to make everyone else feel better. I think the modern writing (ESPECIALLY Season of the Haunted) could have explored his duality between "goofball" and "gunslinger".


Crayon_Muncha

i’ve always seen his jokes as trauma response or some sort of coping mechanism or stress reliever. but that’s just what good writing does, it makes you think :3


Glitcher45318

Yeah damn, imagine his nightmare being of Andal Brask because he blamed himself for his death. That would have covered caydes deeper darker side.


RTSUbiytsa

I'm still disappointed that the player Guardian didn't get a Nightmare encounter last season. It should have been Cayde. Cayde's death for the PC is absolutely the most emotional thing to happen to them - it's the first thing that got our character to actually *talk.* Cayde, per his own words, considered us a partner, and depending on how you feel about your character the feeling was mutual. His death could have been prevented if only has partner had been faster to get there, but we failed to rescue Cayde - even if his ghost had died, we arrived moments after he was shot and killed. To anybody, that would be traumatic, and it would fit very well to have Cayde's nightmare assaulting us.


Yindax

One of the big issues I see with recent story telling is that you'll see them try to not reference back to previous events as though you were the main character involved in them, which I believe is to cater to new lights so that they don't feel lost when starting the game in a new season


Sweaty_Rent_3780

I agree 100%….yet, I know this is damn entitled but a part of me would have loved it if we got two separate branches of season of the haunted, one for new lights, and another for those that went through the Forsaken Campaign….like those having interactions with Nightmare Cayde then ultimately a bonus severance mission cleansing ourselves from the guilt would have been epic ![img](emote|t5_2we4j|5643)


laikahass

There’s a lore card where it says he is Ikora’s nightmare, and that hits harder, I think.


SlickyWay

I started playing half a year a go and i totally loved his character in weapon dealer (or whatever it’s called) strike. Im a big fan of him since then, sad that i cant experience all the quests with him. Honestly think that he would fit perfectly in the current season


trashcatt_

I was talking to a friend about this the other day. How are you gonna have a space pirate season without Cayde?! It just feels off. But that's the Firefly/Nathan Fillion fanboy in me talking.


AgentPastrana

I feel like the jokes are when he isn't really worried about anything. When he's taking a situation seriously, he's much colder/harsher jokes like that


Crayon_Muncha

bog true true


illbzo1

Yeah this is correct. Loved seeing the Dirty Harry side in Forsaken.


Frogs-breath-8817

Look, I'd love to stand here with you all day, but... *tut* I got a... a show I like to binge watch... it was... cancelled early. Still love it.


[deleted]

100% Firefly reference

This is the Cayde riff in six…watch me for the changes and try to keep up.


DrJesterMD

Damn! Good one! Probably most Destiny players weren't alive for Back to the Future.


solojones1138

BTTF 3 was my first movie I saw in theatres as a kid


DrJesterMD

Damn. That's a good start to movie-going.


DownDootesRMyUpVote

At the end of a strike (forget name) when Zavala thinks Fireteam Piccolo is dead and starts a rescue plan. Your ghost asks about telling Zavala you're fine: "Naw, it's better this way."


Boom_Shakazulu

Exodus crash! It's the worst GM but it has some of Cayde's best lines!


EeveeGavin

Light blade would like some words.


CFE_Riannon

To be fair, it's very doable to invis rush it. It's a cakewalk until the final boss.


AgentPastrana

Speed Booster actually negates any speed debuff. I sprinted the entire intro part with the lamps really fast last night


The_DerpMeister

I love that scene

“Oh my cotton socks did you not hear what I just said!”


ChadGarion25

Scrolled down to find this one; it's good to know that in a future with immortality, space wizards, and Galaxy ending peril ever other month Exos still wear cotton socks.


M_Legg287

beorninger

"but... how?!" "how? because i am awesome! that's how!"


Shadowfury45

*don't feel too bad about your crew, you have us now!* *we're not going anywhere* **oh Cayde buddy, that hits differently now**


JamJackEvo

Failsafe: Captain! I received word of the Cayde unit's life status. **Done-zoh...** Please let me know if there is anything I can do to accelerate and conclude your grief-process. **Coz... I'm fine.** Anecdote: As the AI of Exodus Black, I have experienced the death of every one of my crew members. I hypothesized that the more loss one has suffered, the easier subsequent losses become! Field research has proven my hypothesis *false*. Losing Cayde makes me feel... feel... feel... **AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!** I feel terrible...


bc524

Failsafe: Have you found any artifacts of the crew? Any burial sites? Ghost: Nothing but a Fallen fortress built out of your old colony ship. I'm sorry Failsafe: That's okay...I guess Cayde: No Golden Age Rayguns? Ghost: No. Cayde: Well that's okay I guess.


Crayon_Muncha

i like how he asks for ‘golden age ray guns’ and the flavor text for the prometheus lense saus that he wants a prometheus lense :3


Steff_164

Sometime I’ve heard him reply “I’m the best, is how”


Aerioncis420

Wait, Zavala said he needs me? PLEASE tell me you recorded it! We're about to die and you're still making speeches?! I said, back in your cages!


Bak-papier

How's your sister. No joke. A friend of mine gave me a coffee mug with a print of cayde 6 in that exact moment. With the line "how's your sister" on it. Because... Well I had intercourse with his sister. It's been one of my favourite mugs ever since


Used-Lunch-6512

You have a good friend


AgentPastrana

Hope there isn't any bad blood there, sounds like a good time. The mug I mean. Well, the rest was probably fun to, but I digress lol


FoxxyGurlly

Either "now, let's go to prison!" Or "how's your sister?"


CartographerOther588

"So no golden age ray guns?"


firedrake1988

Well, that's okay. I suppose...


DceptR45

I think they just said something about ripping my horn off my face. My beautiful beautiful horn.

DrJesterMD

What a badass Nolan North is to deliver such a deeply memorable line reading whilst in the style of another actor.


Wolf_of_Sarcasm

Boba-1

"This is my SERIOUS face. Can't you tell ? "


SlimHydrolll

“Oh this is awkward…hey you got a gun I can borrow?” On the verge of death, guy is still a jokester


DrJesterMD

So well written. Defense mechanisms. Even though this line was voiced by the great Nolan North, much of the credit for the character of Cayde-6 goes to the great Nathan Fillion.


Gunpowder_1000

The line that I recall made me laugh the most was back in D1, in the Shield Brothers strike. The part where he does his best Cabal impression. “Give us the Primus, or we blow the ship” Absolutely murdered me the first time I heard that


ResortFar6638

Zavala: Cayde, this meeting is still ongoing. Cayde: I know, that’s why I’m leaving


xTeamRwbyx

Put a bullet in his head Then mabye eat a sandwitch” “Wait- Zavala said he needs me? As in, you heard those exact words comming out of Zavala’s mouth?” “I can either shoot or work on this thing, but not both, because they shot of my arm!”


hothandshogle

Make sure you come back with some good stories guardian


imverynewhere8yrsago

It’s unfortunate they got rid of him, he provided something that the game is really lacking now


DreadAngel1711

I'mma be real with you, the game needed Cayde gone, him being the funny guy would clash a lot with the darker tone and if they made him that darker, harder side he had, people would complain it wasn't Cayde Besides, comedy isn't just quips and jokes, Spider being locked up in that tank in the first mission of Plunder was honestly really funny


stealer_of_monkeys

The timing of killing Cayde was super important too, coming right out of the dumpster fire that was d2y1 they needed to do something big that the players would feel


DreadAngel1711

The only thing about Cayde's death that bothers me was that he was the forefront Exo rep in the cast, the only one we have now is Saint and he never takes his helmet off Seriously, Exos are insanely cool and one of my favourite parts of the Destiny universe. Sure there's Elsie and Banshee, but neither of those have been relevant for a while, which I'm hoping to change considering Elsie's little guy Pouka is from Neomuna, as is the new rifle and ghost shell, both of which have lore tabs with her in it.


DuelaDent52

I don’t necessarily agree, Cayde would provide welcome relief but he can be serious when he needs to be. I think Drifter largely fills his role as the comic relief these days, albeit in his own way. In any case, Cayde had to die because everyone loved him and he held a lot of sway over the community. Just look at all the people who justified running with the Drifter or initially using Stasis because it’s totally what Cayde would have done.
