Creative Destiny 2 Fan Makes Their Guardian Look Like Tracer From Overwatch

The Guardians of the Last City in Destiny 2 have a new ally in the form of Tracer, a member of the famed hero organization Overwatch, thanks to one player's customized costume. The Destiny 2 customization was created by using the game's suite of armor and shader options.

Destiny 2 continues to be a fertile ground for player-driven fashion innovation, thanks to the vast amount of armor and color options the game has amassed over the years. The individual looks created by players range from characters in other franchises, like Marty McFly from Back to the Future or a Helldivers 2 soldier, to funny, random objects like a head of corn.

One particularly creative player was Julicious, a user on the DestinyFashion subreddit community. Julicious used a set of Destiny 2 Hunter armor ornaments and shaders to make a custom look based on Tracer from Overwatch, though the preset nature of the armor design in-game meant that their version of Tracer lacked the character's signature tech gadgets, like the Chronal Accelerator worn on her chest and back.

Julicious' Destiny 2 Tracer costume used a number of relatively underutilized items from the Hunter armor selection, taking advantage of their form-fitting silhouettes to properly approximate the appearance of the best diving hero in Overwatch 2. The look employs the low-rarity Mechanik.1.1 arms and the Intrepid Discovery Vest chest piece with the Long Journeys shader to copy Tracer's trademark leather flight jacket. The most iconic part of Tracer's default outfit, her orange tights, came courtesy of the NPA «Weir-Walker» Strides leg piece from the Destiny 2 Season of the Deep armor set, colored with the Copperbrand shader. Meanwhile, the Limitless Subversion Casque Hunter Head piece combined with the Vanguard Nightbeam shader matched the vibe of Tracer's orange-tinted racing goggles. Lastly, Julicious opted for the cap-like hood from the Aspiring Challenger Cloak, «because why not?»
