Summary

  • Destiny 2 player recreates Moon Knight from Marvel Rivals, impressing many with its accuracy.
  • Marvel Rivals gains popularity post-launch, inviting comparisons to Overwatch.
  • Hunter Guardian costume accurately replicates Moon Knight's Marvel Rivals look.

A creative player has tapped into the ascending popularity of hero shooter Marvel Rivals to create a highly accurate Moon Knight costume in Destiny 2. Created for a Destiny 2 Hunter Guardian, the Moon Knight costume uses the hero's Marvel Rivals design as inspiration.

Fresh off of its December 6 global launch, Marvel Rivals is looking to be a significant success. As a free-to-play team-based hero shooter, Marvel Rivals registered 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 to Overwatch, though Marvel Rivals differs 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 wide Marvel Rivals playable roster, with some players spotting characters like Hawkeye just from gameplay footage shared during developer streams.

Destiny 2 player iixVanquishxX dipped into that wide roster for a new Hunter Guardian costume, sharing a Marvel Rivals Moon Knight setup 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)

  • Head - Virtuous Mask (Rivalry Blacksand Shader)
  • Arms - Hardened Basilisk Vambraces (Monochromatic Shader)
  • Chest - Spectral Displacer Cuirass (Monochromatic Shader)
  • Legs - Star-Eater Scales Exotic (Digital Variance Ornament, Monochromatic Shader)
  • Class Item - Parade Cloak (Gift of the Nine Shader)

Using parts for a Hunter in their costume, iixVanquishxX managed to very closely recreate the distinctive, white-cloaked appearance of Moon Knight as seen in Marvel Rivals. Unlike more recent Moon Knight designs that favor an all-white business suit or emphasize the connection between Moon Knight and the Egyptian god Khonshu, the Rivals design 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, the Dungeons & 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 the Marvel Rivals game files and somehow hacked into Destiny 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 popular Destiny 2 Superblack shader.
