Summary
The icon of the Mythic Map Packs is an alternate version of the difficulty icon known as Mythic. The knives are replaced with Battle Rifles and the Mythic Skull replaces the Elite Skull. It is to be noted that Mythic has been known as a non-canon difficulty above Legendary, though Bungie has mentioned it several times on Bungie.net.
