It’s a colorful reminder of the void energy that flows through these powerful gauntlets. The color scheme is also fantastic, with deep space blacks giving way to darker purples and brighter pinks. The circuit boards and electrical equipment that run from the fangs and down a Guardian’s arms are a fascinating look at how the armor functions on a mechanical level. The fangs themselves are impressive and bring an intensity that most of the armor on this list doesn’t have. The light is subtle but mesmerizing, making us wonder what’s under all that chainmail.Ĭhanneling a Titan’s power through the massive fangs of some fearsome beast, these exotic gauntlets bring doom. Chainmail with painted symbols covers a gently glowing purple streak of void light. Pointed ears make this helmet feel right at home at either a Renaissance fair or Star Trek convention.
What’s not to love? Although the massive horns recall Nezarec’s Sin, this exotic Titan helmet draws heavily from Destiny’s medieval aesthetic. They provide strength and a way forward for any lost Guardian.ĭemon horns, chainmail, and void light. The way the flames stand out even in Destiny’s many dark recesses is striking. However, the primary component of the armor’s medieval design is the fire that burns in its core. This exotic Titan chest armor looks like it came straight out from under a blacksmith’s hammer, with intricate bronze engravings and fine metalwork. Titans draw their strength from defense, from the walls that guard them and weapons made in the fires of ancient forges. The crystalline faceplate, jagged and scarred from battle through the ages, is a reminder that Guardians are also bound to this cycle of death and rebirth. Kings will rise and kings fall, but the crown, carved out of primal earth, will remain intact. Colorful reflective surfaces and an ostentatious presentation make the Crown of Tempests a beautiful piece of gear, but there is a darkness lurking beneath the surface. The titular ring of colorful pointed crystals, which rests on top of a collection of cloth (for comfort we have to assume), grants this royal headwear fatalist undertones. Well, at least it’s stylish.īungie sees the crown of thorns and raises us a crown of crystals. Side-mounted horns and a goatee-like metal protrusion give Nezarec’s Sin a devilish charm, while the blank facade of the helmet’s exterior shrouds a Warlock in mystery and makes you wonder how they can see the battlefield. A reminder of an ancient fiend’s past misdeeds, this demonic headwear has the cryptic, ancient sense of intrigue that makes Destiny’s universe enticing. Like many Warlock exotics, this helmet is drenched in mystique and dark allure.
One of the first exotic armor pieces Hunters encounter, the Raiden Flux is defined by the pull of these polar opposites. A cold grey top clashes with the fiery orange energy. This exotic hunter chest piece has a military rigidity that’s fighting with the chaotic energy coursing through tubes into an abdominal collection space. It’s that last combination that the Raiden Flux represents so well. The world of Destiny is built on dualities: light and darkness, urban sprawl and untamed wilderness, chaos and order. Pulsating with a life all its own, the Synthoceps’ mix of bright and dark greens gives this exotic a wild, untamed aesthetic. The green, veiny texture is the result of a bio-matter symbiote fusing with the wearer’s armor – an effect that really shines with the right shader. Where most pieces of armor in Destiny 2 look like they’ve come out of a mad scientist’s lab or blacksmith’s forge, the Synthoceps look organic. The clean red and white coloring is corporate, while the gaps and holes in the armor make the armor feel patchwork, cobbled together as an experimental aid in battle. But the SToMP-EE5 leg armor makes it on this list because of the duality of its design. The way the metal wraps around a Guardian’s legs, with fixtures at the knee joints, makes this armor feel as though it’s been grafted on, not worn.
That’s the philosophy behind this exotic leg armor, which functions both visually and narratively as an exoskeleton. Sorry, no Celestial Nighthawk.īetter, stronger, faster.
The focus here is only exotic armor that is unique to Destiny 2. After all, it’s not worth shooting aliens if you can’t look good doing it. With this list we once again leave behind numbers and stats and instead rank which exotic armor looks the coolest. Not too long ago we took a look at the coolest looking weapons in Destiny 2, but Bungie gives Guardians exotic armor that is just as fashionable as any fantastic firearm.
