In a delightful blend of creativity and fandom, one Destiny 2 player has skillfully utilized the game’s expansive cosmetic options to summon none other than Fox McCloud, the iconic hero from the Star Fox series. By carefully selecting various pieces of Destiny 2 armor, this inventive player crafted a Titan costume that pays homage to the beloved space adventurer.
Destiny 2 has long provided players with a rich array of customization options for their Guardians, prompting a vibrant scene of Destiny fashion enthusiasts. By mixing and matching the available gear through the game’s “transmog” system, players have explored styles ranging from fantastical knights to modern streetwear. It’s a community dedicated to bringing pop culture icons to life in the Destiny universe, resulting in everything from subtle nods to full-blown tributes.
This latest tribute, shared by a member of the DestinyFashion Reddit community known as Complete-Sun-9960, introduces the legendary Nintendo character Fox McCloud into the Destiny fold. While Fox might be most recognized for his role in the Star Fox franchise, his appearances in Smash Bros. have cemented his place in gaming history.
Anchoring the Fox McCloud look is the recently released Doki Doki Destiny Titan Helm. This piece, part of the “Doki Doki” lineup brought in with Act 2 of Episode: Revenant, draws inspiration from the whimsical aesthetics often found in romantic anime and magical girl series. With its Vanguard Nightbeam shader, the helm takes on a distinct fox-like appearance, akin to Fox’s fiery fur.
The ensemble doesn’t stop there. Complete-Sun-9960 nailed Fox McCloud’s signature military look, inspired by his Super Smash Bros. Brawl persona. The Bungie 30th Anniversary’s Ringwalker Plate emulates Fox’s iconic flight jacket, preserving a sleek profile fitting for a space pilot. A red scarf accentuates the outfit, bringing the entire look together. Adding to the immersion, the player also drew praise for incorporating a jumpship and Sparrow reminiscent of the Arwing, Fox’s famed starfighter from the original Star Fox games.
The tribute was so well-received, many fans admitted they were tempted to spend their Bright Dust on the Doki Doki Destiny Titan Helm, despite any initial reservations. Some fans even suggested tweaks to bring to life other Fox McCloud designs, like his classic “metal legs” from the early game art.
Destiny 2 continues to empower its players to explore imaginative expressions and cross-genre fan tributes, proving that, whether through vivid fashion or bold gameplay, the community’s creative potential knows no bounds. So if you’re a Guardian with a knack for cosplay, perhaps it’s time to rummage through Destiny’s wardrobe and see what epic recreations await!
