The Hard Light auto-rifle looks pretty sweet, and packs a punch too. But one mindful redditor noticed that the weapon’s lore was eerily similar to a famous Apple keynote speech. (h/t /u/GenericUsername004)

Hard Light’s lore, according to one Destiny 2 wiki, is as follows:

Today, we’re introducing three revolutionary products.

The first is a quick-config interface for outgoing damage. The second is a ricochet projectile that bounces off any surface. And the third an infinite range zero drop-off projection weapon platform.

So! Three new products in the Omolon portfolio. But, unlike other product launches, we won’t be staggering the releases.

We will be releasing them all at once. In a single device. In extremely limited quantities.

We call it Hard Light.

But there is one more thing.
Compare that to Steve Job’s keynote, and it matches up pretty well. Interesting, given Omolon (creators of the Hard Light) are pioneers who also used proprietary tech.

Hard light's lore is Steve Jobs speech during the original iPhone keynote.

Afaik the flavor text is all the same but the lore in the D2 lore tab is all different from what was in the weapon's Grimoire card.

I found the grimoire text.

Ionized polymer synballistic attack platform. The system's lethality is dynamically robust across tactical spaces.

As the City's understanding of Golden Age methods expands, foundries continue to push the cutting edge of tactical armament. The Hard Light prototype is a showcase, built with the rarest recovered materials and the most computationally demanding design methods. The design team included several specialist Exos and at least one Warlock thanatonaut.

In its current iteration, the Hard Light design fires a superheated polymer round with exotic capabilities.
