Destiny 2 Player Makes Their Titan Look Like One of the Most Unique Dark Souls Characters
A Destiny 2 player fan shows their love for Dark Souls in the form of a customized costume turning a Titan into one of its most unique characters.
Thus, it’s no surprise that there’s a bit of overlap in the fan communities for both games, as evidenced by a cool pair of “Prime” costumes created by Reddit community member G-man69420. Inspired by the style of the Prime Warframes, the costumes are designed for Hunter and Titan Guardians to adopt, the better to bring some Orokin aesthetic style to the ranks of the Last City’s forces.
Destiny 2 Costumes Turn Hunters and Titans Into Prime Warframes
Destiny 2 Hunter Prime Warframe Costume Parts
- Head – Eternal Vengeance Casque (Regal Daring Shader)
- Arms – Liar’s Handshake Hunter Exotic Arms (Charmed, I’m Sure Ornament and Solar Shrapnel Shader)
- Chest – Vest of Optimacy (Solar Shrapnel Shader)
- Legs – Anthemic Invocation Legguards (Regal Daring Shader)
- Class Item – Coronation Cloak (Regal Daring Shader)
G-man69420’s Warframe-inspired “Hunter Prime” costume for Destiny 2 blends the default armor first seen in the vaulted Destiny 2 Red War campaign from the launch era with the “Prime Warframe” aesthetic. In Warframe, a Prime is essentially the “premium” version of an in-game gear piece like a Warframe or weapon. Prime items usually have some sort of statistical advantage and often sport an alternative look, usually gilded with gold. Thus, the Prime Hunter costume emphasizes white-and-gold trim, embellishing the default Hunter look with pieces that look more luxurious and emphasize the bio-mechanical style of Warframe‘s take on far future technology.
Destiny 2 Titan Prime Warframe Costume Parts
- Head – Solstice Helm (Majestic, Burnished Acclaim Shader)
- Arms – Solstice Gauntlets (Majestic, Burnished Acclaim Shader)
- Chest – Cuirass of the Falling Star Titan Exotic Chest (Default Ornament, Burnished Acclaim Shader)
- Legs – Thunderous Impact Greaves (Regal Daring Shader)
- Class Item – Mark of the Falling Star (Regal Daring Shader)
The “Titan Prime” costume leans in heavily on the partially organic style of Warframe tech, as the curves and seams present on the popular Cuirass of the Falling Star Exotic are perfectly tailored to make a Titan look like a Tenno. The costume also uses complimentary gear ornaments, as the Mark of the Falling Star and Thunderous Impact Greaves both emphasize the electric effects of the Arc-specialized Striker Titan subclass. The gilded appearance comes from the heavy gold pieces of the Solstice Helm and Gauntlets.
Fellow players praised G-man69420’s work, particularly their adept blending of both Destiny 2 and Warframe‘s respective art styles. One player marveled that the costume template even included weapon and Ghost Shell customizations that can bring a “Prime” Guardian’s style even more in line with the Orokin ideal. Other players even responded with Warframe memes, proving the impression that many Destiny Guardians are moonlighting as Warframe Tenno as well.
