Destiny 2 Player Makes Their Guardian Into Winnie the Pooh

A creative Destiny 2 player has managed to extend the Vanguard’s recruiting efforts all the way to the Hundred-Acre Wood, recruiting classic character Winnie the Pooh to the ranks of the Guardians with a new customized costume. The new costume takes advantage of a set of themed Destiny 2 cosmetic parts, further expanding the creative potential embodied in the game’s armor customization system.




One of the most distinctive parts of Destiny 2 is its unique, easily identified sci-fi aesthetic. Thanks in part to the skill demonstrated by developer Bungie’s stable of artists, the game cultivates a visual style that is both unique and still able to cover a wide range of motifs. Even among the default styles, Destiny blends in everything from high-tech power armor reminiscent of the Halo series to high fantasy-style outfits befitting some of the game’s more supernatural foes, like the Hive and the new Dread faction from The Final Shape.

Destiny 2’s tendency to recycle content has long been a point of contention in the game, but its reasons for doing so aren’t rocket science.

The sheer number of available parts added to Destiny 2 over the years has allowed players to adapt a range of designs into new “cosplay” that bring their favorite characters into the game. Such was the case with a Winnie the Pooh costume from Reddit user ORBED_CORB, who took advantage of the new Destiny 2 Doki Doki armor set to bring the beloved children’s character to life in-game.



Destiny 2 Costume Turns a Fox Mask Into a Winnie the Pooh Bear

Destiny 2 Winnie the Pooh Costume Parts (Titan)

  • Head – Doki Doki Destiny Titan Helm (Bumblebee Shader)
  • Arms – Poison Promise Gauntlets (Bumblebee Shader)
  • Chest – Solstice Plate Rekindled (New Monarchy Succession Shader)
  • Legs – Eidolon Pursuant Greaves (Bumblebee Shader)
  • Class Item – Quilted Winter Mark (New Monarchy Succession Shader)

Normally, the Doki Doki Destiny Titan helmet that serves as the centerpiece of the Winnie the Pooh costume is easier to see as a mask based on a fox. After all, the Doki Doki cosmetic pack is in part anime-inspired, and fox masks are a commonly seen element in many such works. One player even managed to use the helm for a Destiny 2 Fox McCloud costume setup. However, thanks to coloration from the bright yellow Bumblebee shader, creator ORBED_CORB managed to evoke Winnie the Pooh’s bright, single-shade coloration. The simple design of the Solstice Plate with a simply shaded red torso completed the look, making a Titan Guardian look to all the world like a cuddly yellowish bear wearing a simple red shirt.


Players praised the design, with some joking that the heavily militarized look of this “new Pooh” represented a new front in the recent broadening of Winnie the Pooh adaptations. The entry of Winnie the Pooh and hundreds of other works into the public domain earlier this year prompted the creation of all manner of new adaptations outside children-targeted work, including a Winnie the Pooh horror cinematic universe.
