Summary
Thanks to a fantastic set of custom costumes,Destiny 2players can now call on the powers of three iconic Egyptian gods from theYu-Gi-Oh!anime and card game franchise. TheDestiny 2costumes take advantage of the wealth of parts and shaders available to veteran players.
Science fiction and fantasy has long had a fascination with images drawn from ancient Egyptian culture and art, and despite its far future setting,Destiny 2is no stranger to them. The game’s distinct visual aesthetic refers to Ancient Egypt in ways both explicit and subtle. Some game elements are directly named after Ancient Egyptian concepts, like theTrials of OsirisDestiny 2game mode(and the character of Osiris himself). Pieces of environmental art and landscapes also occasionally evoke Egyptian megastructures, like the Pyramids and the Great Sphinx of Giza.
In the vein of creatively interpreting ancient Egyptian imagery, DestinyFashion Reddit community member most-p-alone usedDestiny 2’s robust armor customization system to create a set of costumes based on the Egyptian gods as seen inYu-Gi-Oh!Their costumes were based on three ofclassicYu-Gi-Oh!monster cards: Obelisk the Tormentor, Silfer the Sky Dragon, and The Winged Dragon of Ra.

Destiny 2 Winged Dragon of Ra Costume Parts (Warlock)
Most-p-alone’s Egyptian God The Obelisk the Tormentor costume replicates the monster’s massive, spiky silhouette by using Hive and Scorn-themed parts like the Heretical Helm and the War Numen’s fist, then coloring them with bold sky blue shaders like Blue Steel and Atlantic Rush. The Silfer the Sky Dragon costume uses the dragon-themed Warlock armor from theDestiny 2Season of the Wish, topped with the Season of the Witch’s dragon-headed Skybreaker Hood. The Winged Dragon of Ra costume uses the Exotic Phoenix Protocol chest piece and the bird-like Atavistic Idol hood to turn a Warlock Guardian into a golden servant of the Sun God.
Players praised the three costumes for the way they translated key aspects of theYu-Gi-Oh!monsters' inhuman design into the typically humanoid forms used byDestiny 2characters. Others also praised most-p-alone for going “above and beyond” in their creation of an alternate Winged Dragon of Ra costume for Hunters to use, since the original submission featured two Warlock costumes and a Titan costume. One commenter even suggested that one player don aDestiny 2Yami Yugi costumeand pretend to “summon” the Egyptian gods to their fireteam for a Strike or two.
