Someone rebuilt Destiny 2’s Tower inside Palworld, and they did it using nothing but the game’s own building parts. A player going by SarcasticWheatThin posted a video tour of the base, which recreates the looter-shooter’s social hub in enough detail that you can recognize the exact spots where familiar vendors stand. The whole thing sits in Palworld’s 1.0 build, which shipped with a much bigger creative toolkit than the early access version had.
Quick answer: The build is a fan-made replica of Destiny 2’s Tower, created in Palworld’s 1.0 update by SarcasticWheatThin, covering the landing zone, the Bazaar, the Hangar, and the Traveler in the distance.
What the Palworld Tower build recreates
The tour starts at the landing area near the Bazaar, the same first-step spot players see when they load into the Tower. From there it climbs up to the room tied to The Drifter, complete with a tank of glowing green liquid standing in for his setup. The route keeps going toward the corner where Ada-1 runs her shop.
The Bazaar itself gets the most attention. It includes a statue standing in for Xur, the wandering exotic vendor, plus the usual perches for Ikora and Hawthorne. The path then links the Bazaar back to the main landing zone. One thing left out is the stairwell that leads up to Zavala’s office, so the layout is close but not a one-to-one copy.
The central hub packs in the rest of the landmarks. There’s a vendor stall for Banshee-44, the Vault, the terrace where Shaxx hangs out, the Postmaster corner, and Zavala’s spot looking out over the Last City, with the Traveler floating in the distance. The build even includes the current Monument of Triumph area, which is a nod to Destiny 2’s final update.
Past the hub, the base connects to the Hangar, where Saint-14 and Trials of Osiris live in the real game. That section also holds the spaceport, the place players use to recall their ship. Progress posts on Twitter show the project took a long stretch of time to finish.
Why the build lands right now
The timing is part of the story. Destiny 2 wound down with the Monument of Triumph update on June 9, and Bungie is no longer adding new content, keeping only the occasional small bug fix. Even so, the game still pulls in around 40,000 daily players on Steam, so the Tower is very much a place people still care about.
With no new content to cover, several Destiny 2 creators have moved on. Longtime YouTuber Datto is stepping away from Destiny 2 content on August 18 after one last video. Others have jumped to different games, and some have landed on Palworld, which released its 1.0 update around the same window Destiny 2 was closing out.
How Palworld 1.0 makes builds like this possible
Palworld’s 1.0 update is what gives a project this size room to exist. It added a large pile of content, more Pals, story material, and a bigger set of building pieces, which makes detailed recreations far more doable. Pocketpair also asked players to start over with the 1.0 launch, so many of these massive bases went up from scratch in a short time.
The building system has a quirk that rewards vertical projects. Base camps limit how far you can spread out horizontally, but there’s no cap on how high you can stack. That’s why so many standout Palworld builds turn into towers rather than sprawling compounds.
Palworld itself launched into early access in 2024 and became a fast hit, moving more than 8 million copies in its first week and passing 30 million after the full release. That surge of players is a big reason so many elaborate bases keep showing up so soon after 1.0 went live.
The MOTW submission
SarcasticWheatThin tagged the official Destiny 2 Team account on Twitter and used the hashtag for Bungie’s Movie of the Week award. It’s an unusual entry, since the clip comes from a completely different game rather than from Destiny 2 itself. Whether a cross-game build qualifies for anything is up in the air, and there’s no confirmation that this particular submission will win.
Either way, the recreation stands on its own as a tribute. It captures a hub two games apart, built by hand in a survival game that never expected to house Destiny 2’s Last City, and it’s a fitting send-off for a Tower that players are still logging into.
