Recently, a Destiny 2 player, known as Complete-Sun-9960 on Reddit, has managed to bridge the realms of futuristic gaming and nostalgic anime by crafting a spot-on Fox McCloud outfit using the game’s new cosmetic pieces. They cleverly pieced together elements from Destiny’s extensive transmog system, highlighting the community’s creativity in character design.
Destiny 2 is renowned for its expansive range of customization options, allowing players to transform their characters into anything from mythic knights and magicians to trend-setting urban icons. This versatility has sparked a vibrant community dedicated to Destiny fashion, where players unleash their creativity, often pulling in references from broader pop culture or inventing entirely new avatars.
In this latest creation, the Fox McCloud ensemble comes alive through the addition of the Doki Doki Destiny Titan Helm. This particular piece, part of the “Doki Doki” line, was introduced during Episode: Revenant’s Act 2 and draws inspiration from the whimsical and romantic themes found in anime and manga. Painted with the Vanguard Nightbeam shader, the helm mimics the distinctive red face of the beloved fox pilot.
The outfit doesn’t stop at the helm, however. Complete-Sun-9960 has included the Ringwalker Plate, sourced from Bungie’s 30th Anniversary celebration, to emulate Fox’s iconic flight jacket. This adds a streamlined aesthetic to the typically robust Titan class, complete with a striking red scarf. They even went a step further by incorporating a jumpship and Sparrow into their design, with the exotic Colonel’s Lament ship standing in for the Arwing, the classic spacecraft from the Star Fox series.
Many within the community were so impressed by this homage to the Nintendo icon, particularly his Super Smash Bros. Brawl incarnation, that they found themselves willing to part with their Bright Dust for the unique Titan Helm. Some fans even offered suggestions to modify the costume further, like incorporating the “metal legs” that are a nod to Fox McCloud’s original design.
This charming crossover of Destiny 2 and the Star Fox franchise demonstrates the endless possibilities of in-game creative expression, showcasing yet again how players can create engaging narratives and personas through the palette of available game elements.
