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.
