Destiny 2 players have been blasting through the new Grasp of Avarice dungeon for a little over a week now, farming for loot and completing the Exotic quest to unlock the Gjallarhorn rocket launcher. Like other dungeons in Destiny 2, Grasp of Avarice is filled with small details and Easter eggs for fans to discover, with players finding enough evidence in the new dungeon to make the claim that it's inspired by The Goonies.

The Goonies is a classic adventure comedy film from the 1980s, produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Richard Donner. The Goonies' all-star cast combined with its timeless story and sharp writing has helped it become one of the most popular films of all time, and if the theory from Reddit user hunchback78 is to be believed, it may very well have influenced Bungie when making Destiny 2's Grasp of Avarice dungeon.

Hunchback78 points out how the Destiny 2 Grasp of Avarice dungeon is filled with boobie traps, a large rock skull formation, a cave with a waterfall, and pirate-themed music, all things also found in The Goonies. User CMDR_Kai added that the dead Exo players can find at the end of the dungeon is named Wilhelm-7, which is perhaps the most damning evidence that the Grasp of Avarice dungeon is indeed inspired by The Goonies.

The dead exo at the end of the Destiny 2 Grasp of Avarice dungeon is named Wilhelm-7. In The Goonies, the main characters are looking for the lost treasure of the legendary pirate One-Eyed Willy. Wilhelm-7 happens to have one eye and the titular Goonies in the film consisted of seven friends, hence Wilhelm-7. While some may still think it's a stretch, it definitely seems like Destiny 2 is purposefully referencing The Goonies with the Grasp of Avarice dungeon.

The Destiny 2 Grasp of Avarice dungeon gets creative with the names of other enemies players encounter as well. For example, there's a Hive Ogre players encounter named Phry'zhia (aka "fires you") as well as a Shank named R-M80 (aka "arr, matey"). Funny references like this have helped make the Destiny 2 Grasp of Avarice dungeon and the other associated content well-received by the community, though the next big content update may not be quite as lighthearted.

The Destiny 2 Witch Queen expansion promises to be much darker in tone than the 30th Anniversary Pack, and it will be interesting to see exactly what it has in store for Guardians when it launches next year.

Destiny 2 is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
