The Guardians hold the speed record so far

After Half-Life, Mario and Tetris, it seems that speedrunners are trying their hand at Bungie's multiplayer-oriented science fiction first-person shooter Destiny.

The latest record for a complete run of Vault of Glass clocks in at just 27:40, established by a group of brave explorers with some pretty sweet gear and mad skills.

The feat required the use of six Gjallarhorns rocket launchers with 331 attack, enabling the group to take down Atheon faster than, well, usual, considering Destiny's preference for bullet sponge bosses.

The record is pretty specific, as any speed running record is, in that it requires the use of a certain glitch to get through the Vault's door quickly, and some equipment only available after the release of The Dark Below expansion.

The six valiant Guardians responsible for the deed are Giggle Monstar, Gamesager, adversary D, Ableskivers, devisible and xImmortalTecHv, and if you're interested to know more about the run, you can find a handy guide on Reddit, detailing some of the methods the team used to cut down on time.

Below, you can see a POV account of the feat, visible from the point of view of two of the participating players, who assure everyone that there's no cheese involved and that everything happens on the raid's hard mode.
