Seven

**Seven (7)** is Bungie's favorite number. Since the company was founded in 1991, Bungie has tried to include the number in almost all of its games in some subtle and not-so-subtle ways. Outside of its games, Bungie has also included it in its own lore, iconography, and their community even created a holiday for Bungie called Bungie Day, which takes place on July 7 every year.

The following lists below attempt to list all intentional references in Bungie's games and in its own lore as a company. While the lists try to be extensive, some items may be a result of apophenia (where people can make meaningful connections between unrelated things) rather than something that was done intentionally by Bungie.

## 7 in Bungie's Lore and History

* Bungie has a 7-step Plan for World Domination. Step 7 is still in progress.
* The Seventh Column is Bungie's official name of its community.
* Some of Bungie's older mottos include the phrase "Seven is Darker" from *Marathon,* Tru7h (first done by Hamish Sinclair, a *Marathon* fan), Se7en, and "The tru7h, the whole tru7h, and nothing but the tru7h."
* Bungie Day is always on July 7. This dates back to the year 2000 when Bungie's website had an event listed on their calendar on July 7 called "Bungie Day."
* Some believe that the first "official" Bungie Day was held on Saturday, July 7, 2007 (07/07/07) due to Bungie announcing their independence. Coincidentally, Saturday is the seventh day of the week on some calendars.
* Before July 7, 2007, the Bungie Community would wish each other a happy Bungie Day on the seventh day of every month.
* When Bungie officially separated from Microsoft, the companies official name was "Arete Seven, LLC" (doing business as Bungie, LLC).
* Bungie's Crest include the number 7 on it.
* Ling-Ling has seven hairs on its head and Ling-Ling was once interviewed by a man named Don W. Seven.
* Bungie's Customer Support PO Box number in Chicago was 7877.
* The seventh column in the Periodic Table of Elements are "Halogens."
* To unlock Recon Armor in *Halo 3*, players had to complete seven Vidmaster Challenge Achievements across *Halo 3* and *Halo 3: ODST*, and then log into Bungie.net and hit a button to unlock the armor.
* For Bungie Day 2012, DeeJ announced that seven people won a Golden Ticket inside swag bags that were sold the previous years. The winners were known as the One of Seven.
* When the Bungie Store relaunched in September 2018 and Bungie Rewards were introduced, Bungie Reward store items were listed for $777,777 that could be purchased with an exclusive code that would discount the price to something affordable.
* During *Destiny 2's Season of Dawn* event, "Empyrean Foundation," players had to donate a currency called Polarized Fractiline to a central obelisk in the Tower that would slowly unlock the Lighthouse on Mercury for Trials of Osiris. The event has seven steps, with the final step asking players to donate 9,777,777,000 Fractiline. Two and half hours later, Bungie tweeted that the goal had been changed to 9,777,777,700 based on player feedback.

## The Bungie Aiming Model

   According to a player named MJ Fame, when they reversed engineered Bungie's aiming model for MaxAim mouse-play, the only number that balanced the entire model's Positive and Inverse Aim-acceleration/Aim-Assist was "117" (Master Chief's designation number from the *Halo series*), and it needed to be inserted into 7 columns: Acceleration X and Y [Locked], Sensitivity X and Y [Locked], Ratio for Acceleration, Ratio for Sensitivity, and Deadzone Ratio.

They claim that this works for every *Halo* game from Bungie and 343 Industries, and *Destiny 1* and *Destiny 2*.
