Summary
A cleverDestiny 2player has recruited from the ranks of famed pop culture killers by creating a new costume based on the iconicScreamseries villain Ghostface. Their customizedDestiny 2armor set uses parts intended for a Hunter Guardian character.
Given thatDestiny 2’s default art style tends to be a mix of modern and near-future military “tactical” gear with high-concept science fiction and fantasy, it’s impressive that players can wring so much creativity out of the game’s armor customization system. The wide range of armor parts and color shaders added toDestiny 2over the years has given players a vast pool from which to come up with any number of interesting concepts, from popular superheroes andHaloreferences toturning theirDestiny 2Titan into a giant banana.
Now a new costume from DestinyFashion Reddit community member iixVanquishxX brings Ghostface to The Last City right on time for the Halloween-themedDestiny 2Festival of the Lost. As the main villain of theScreamseries of slasher movies, Ghostface has been an iconic horror and thriller character since the late 1990s, their appearance characterized by a telltale halloween mask and full-body cloak.
Destiny 2 Ghostface Costume Brings the Thrills of Scream to The Last City
The critical element of iixVanquishxX’s Ghostface costume lies in theAssassin’s Cowl Exotic Hunter helmet. AsDestiny 2doesn’t have a true replica of Ghostface’s mask, the cowl and its Gilded Memento ornament (colored by the stark Jacarina shader) provide a close-enough evocation of the telltale outlines of the mask, especially when hidden under the Hunter’s hood.
The other elements of the costume closely mimic Ghostface’s full body cloak, colored withDestiny 2’s popular Superblack shaderfrom earlier in the year. Though the game doesn’t allow players to completely cover their body in a cloak like Ghostface does, the First Ascent Grips, Gensym Knight Cuirass, Mechanik 1.1 Boots, and Wall-watcher Cloak provide an appropriately low-profile silhouette for the Hunter wearing it.
Commenters were impressed by iixVanquishxX’s work, responding with praise and posts of the in-game “Best Dressed” commendation. One user in the comments noted that while manyDestiny 2players joke about Hunters overusing the Superblack shader, the Ghostface costume proves its versatility when paired with a creative player. Others joked about Ghostface, speculating that the character might actually rack up a higher body count when equipped with the many, many guns at a Guardian’s disposal, rather than their classic hunting knife.
