For what its worth... (Destiny)

Honestly I considered it more the retcon of how a single bullet did it. While Cayde was still standing no less. Given that previously the only reliably stated (as I can recall) non-paracausal final deaths have been explicitly heavy, blanket bombardment and (assumed to be causal) SIVA consumption. Most other ones could be paracausal/near-paracausal or otherwise not described enough to illustrate how much damage was required to kill the Ghost.

It does set up some interesting implications. And as far as I can tell it feels mostly like all of this lore about it was planned in advance.
