Summary

  • Destiny 2 offers players unique classes and armor combinations to create personalized looks.
  • A dedicated player turned their Guardian into a Portal turret using specific armor pieces and shaders for a creative twist.
  • The Destiny 2 community showcases impressive and original character designs, proving style is sometimes as important as gaming skills.

A Destiny 2 player managed to combine their love of the game with their passion for another series, turning their character into a turret from the legendary Portal franchise. Despite limitations with Destiny 2' s armor system, the dedicated player was able to faithfully recreate a turret from the Portal series of video games.

Destiny 2 allows players to customize their experience, giving them three unique classes to choose from: Warlock, Hunter, and Titan. Choosing the right Destiny 2 class is crucial, with each class playing differently. Weaponry and class builds are a crucial part of the Destiny 2 experience, but so are Destiny 2's visuals, with the game allowing players to customize their look with tons of armor combinations. Certain armor sets have become iconic over time, with popular Destiny 2 armor pieces returning to the game recently. However, it's just as popular to mix and match armor pieces from different sets in order to create a unique look.

Thanks to Destiny 2's vast amounts of armor pieces and shaders, Reddit user RawffleWaffle managed to turn their Warlock into a turret from the Portal franchise. The player shared their creation online in the DestinyFashion subreddit, a hub dedicated to fan-created Destiny 2 armor combinations. "Boots of the Assembler makes me feel like a turret, so I became one haha," jokes the player, sharing several images of their impressive creation online. While not identical to a Portal turret, the player's Guardian design is incredibly reminiscent of the iconic enemy, featuring a red orb in the center and stark white pieces of armor throughout.

How to Make a Destiny 2 Character Look Like a Portal Turret

Armor Pieces

  • Insight Vikti Hood
  • Channeling Wraps
  • S'phtish Robes
  • Streetscholar Bond

Shaders

  • Spark of Joy
  • Monochromatic
  • Polycarbon Powder
  • Abyssinian Gold
  • Testudo

Along with images of the character, as well as an image of a turret from Portal, the player also shared exactly what other players will need in order to recreate this look. In order to recreate a turret from the Portal franchise, players will need the following pieces of armor: Insight Vikti Hood, Channeling Wraps, S'phtish Robes, and Streetscholar Bond

Portal turrets are an iconic enemy in the video game world and are known for having an iconic flat-white color palette, as well as one glowing red eye in the middle. Because color is such an important component of a Portal turret's identity and aesthetic, armor pieces are not the only things players will need in order to recreate this set. To truly capture the image of a Portal turret in Destiny 2, players will need the following shaders: Spark of Joy, Monochromatic, Polycarbon Powder, Abyssinian Gold, and Testudo.

Creative armor combinations are nothing new for the Destiny 2 community, with players constantly showing off their impressive and unique builds. One Destiny 2 player turned themselves into Marty McFly from the Back to the Future franchise, complete with the iconic hoverboard used throughout the films. Brushing up on players' FPS skills will greatly help them throughout Destiny 2. However, the community has proven it's just as important to look cool while fighting The Witch Queen or traversing the Sol System.
