Highlights

  • Players in the Destiny community enjoy expressing creativity through fashion and storytelling within the game.
  • For example, one Destiny 2 player has had fun creating a unique armor set called the "Titan of the Corn," inspired by yellow corn.
  • The outfit combines armor pieces and shaders to turn the Titan into a walking corn cob with leafy accents.

A Destiny 2 player has transplanted their appreciation for yellow corn into the game with a new customized armored set. A clever combination of shaders and armor pieces using the vast armor and colorway library in Destiny 2 resulted in a striking outfit for a Titan of the Last City.

Even before Bungie began catering to customization-focused Guardians explicitly, Destiny and Destiny 2 players made seeking fashionable looks in the game's armor selection a pastime. These days, with ornaments allowing players to freely customize armor appearances, playing Destiny 2 for fashion is even easier. Most players find ways to replicate iconic character designs, like Master Chief from Halo. Others seek original or outright silly new combinations.

Destiny 2 Player Creates Corn Titan Custom Costume

One such silly look came courtesy of Destiny 2 player BaxxBreaker, who shared their "Titan of the Corn" costume with the DestinyFashion subreddit. True to its name, the Titan of the Corn resembles a large, walking yellow sweet corn cob, fresh on the stalk and surrounded by leaves. Community members reacted with delight, praising BaxxBreaker's effort and making references to the 1984 film Children of the Corn. Another member evoked the callouts of Destiny 2 Gambit referee The Drifter by saying "Corn Approaching!"

The core of the Titan-based outfit relies on the use of two armor pieces: The tall, pointed Legatus Helm from the Season of the Chosen Season Pass, and the segmented-looking Pfhorian Plate, which was introduced with the Destiny 2 Bungie 30th Anniversary expansion. These, combined with the bright yellow Flavedo Core shader, turn the Titan's torso into a light-bearing corn cob. Meanwhile, the leaves of the corn stalk were replicated using the Anthemic Invocation Gauntlets from the current Season of the Wish, the world drop Devastation Complex boots, and the Pfhorian Mark, all colored using the Graceful Phantom shader for a proper vegetative green.

Despite the game going through a lull period as players await the major changes coming with The Final Shape expansion, Destiny 2 has outlived much of its competition and proved to be a lasting title. In many ways, its community has grown past being limited to just playing the game, and taken up externalized hobbies like seeking fashion and expression within the game's systems, or plumbing the in-game fiction for stories and clues to discuss and think about. With luck and care from developer Bungie, that energy will continue to sustain the game into the Final Shape era and beyond.
