Summary
- Destiny 2 player creates a cool Splinter Cell-inspired outfit using versatile armor selections and Superblack shader.
- The costume perfectly evokes Sam Fisher with glowing green elements and iconic visor, praised by fellow players for attention to detail.
- The enduring influence of Splinter Cell is shown as players across the gaming world appreciate the creative costume in Destiny 2.
A clever Destiny 2 player has injected a dose of stealth into the normally action-focused atmosphere of the game with a new outfit inspired by Splinter Cell protagonist Sam Fisher. Designed for use by a Destiny 2 Hunter, the outfit choices are also practical in regular and PVP gameplay, according to their creator.
Destiny 2 is notable for having a unique and recognizable visual identity, thanks to the art direction of developer Bungie. However Destiny 2's massive selection of armor parts and color shaders allows players to use its versatile customization system to emulate all manner of characters from across the aesthetic spectrum. Destiny 2 costumes can evoke iconic Bungie characters like Master Chief, as well as answer questions like "What would a Destiny 2 Titan look like as a head of corn?"
Destiny 2 Player Creates Guardian Inspired By Pokemon’s Articuno
A Destiny 2 player online shares their fun piece of Guardian fashion, which is heavily inspired by the legendary Pokemon, Articuno.
So it went for player LazyLiMy, who shared a unique Splinter Cell-inspired Hunter costume with the DestinyFashion Reddit community. Their outfit used the Hunter armor selection to recreate a Third Echelon operative from what is arguably the best Tom Clancy game series ever devised.
Destiny 2 Splinter Cell Outfit Cleverly Uses Superblack Shader
The Splinter Cell costume created by LazyLiMy uses the popular Destiny 2 Superblack color shader as its core, using it on all the armor slots except for the head, which is colored by Gambit Jadestone. The Gambit Jadestone shader is also key, as the glowing green elements of the shader work well with the use of the Wastelander Mask. The mask expertly evokes the iconic visor used by Sam Fisher, which featured night vision scopes with glowing green lenses. LazyLiMy even included an alternative mask choice in the form of the Kit Fox 1.5 mask, which uses a visor with a line-shaped lens.
The costume's torso and arms recreate the low-profile tactical armored look by using the Siegebreak Grips and vest-like Legatus Cuirass, while the Hunter Exotic St0mp-EE5 armor adds a more subtle flair when equipped with the Astrostrides ornament. Finally, the Couturier Clock completes the look, as its hood is kept down, preserving the Splinter Cell-style outline. Fellow players praised the costume and its creator for its appearance, and also for including recommendations for the player's ship and Ghost Shell, two aspects often ignored by players creating custom outfits. LazyLiMy recommended the premium-priced Alfa-Zulu jumpship for its resemblance to a modern military helicopter, while using the Golf-Tango Ghost Shell for its ability to make the player's Ghost look like an ordinary recon drone.
While the Splinter Cell series has been dormant for a long time, the popularity of a costume based on it present in an entirely different game shows its enduring influence on players across the gaming public. Ubisoft would do well to keep up progress on its planned Splinter Cell remake, the better to refresh that legacy in players' minds.
