Summary
A creative player has tapped into the ascending popularity of hero shooterMarvel Rivalsto create a highly accurate Moon Knight costume inDestiny 2. Created for aDestiny 2Hunter Guardian, the Moon Knight costume uses the hero’sMarvel Rivalsdesign as inspiration.
Fresh off of its December 6 global launch,Marvel Rivalsis looking to be a significant success. As a free-to-play team-based hero shooter,Marvel Rivalsregistered hundreds of thousands of players on Steam alone, with many more joining the fray via cross-play on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. Early on, the game invited comparisons toOverwatch, thoughMarvel Rivalsdiffers from it in some key ways, such as the use of a third-person primary viewpoint. Players also had fun identifying and guessing who might be next added to the surprisingly wideMarvel Rivalsplayable roster, with some players spotting characters like Hawkeye just from gameplay footage shared during developer streams.
Destiny 2player iixVanquishxX dipped into that wide roster for a new Hunter Guardian costume, sharing aMarvel RivalsMoon Knightsetup with the DestinyFashion Reddit community. Moon Knight has achieved some prominence in recent years, thanks to a Marvel Cinematic Universe series based on the character starring Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke.
Destiny 2 Moon Knight Costume Perfectly Recreates His Marvel Rivals Design
Destiny 2 Moon Knight Costume Parts (Hunter)
Using parts for a Hunter in their costume, iixVanquishxX managed to very closely recreate the distinctive, white-cloaked appearance of Moon Knight as seen inMarvel Rivals. Unlike more recent Moon Knight designs that favor an all-white business suit or emphasizethe connection between Moon Knight and the Egyptian god Khonshu, theRivalsdesign emphasizes superhero-style body armor and tech-augmented accessories. The distinctive cloaked silhouette of Moon Knight is recreated by the combination of the visor-based Virtuous Mask, and the peaked hood of the Parade Cloak class item. Meanwhile, the more tactical body armor style is replicated by the Hardened Basilisk Vambraces, theDungeons & Dragons-themed Spectral Displacer Cuirass and the Digital Variance ornament for the Star-Eater Scales Exotic armor.
Players heavily praised the costume, hailing how accurately it recreated the look of Moon Knight, down to the character’s particular monochromatic color blocking. A few even joked that the model might have been “ripped” from theMarvel Rivalsgame files and somehow hacked intoDestiny 2. Others responded with Moon Knight-themed memes, and also praising the use of a bright white coloration in an era largely dominated by costumes that employ the popularDestiny 2Superblack shader.
