Summary
Love for theFalloutseries has spread into the Last City, as aDestiny 2player has expertly recreated the look of an iconicFallout: New Vegasarmor set in the game. As with otherDestiny 2"cosplay" looks, the recreation employs the game’s armor customization system, turning parts for a Titan Guardian into an NCR Ranger.
Despite having no notable new releases in years, theFalloutseries has seen a massive resurgence in popularity over the last few months. Players have been revisiting games in the series, while the online spin-offFallout 76broke player participation records five times in six days. The boost is largely due to Amazon’s live-actionFalloutTV series adaptation, which rekindled many fans' affection for the franchise while bringing the brand major mainstream attention.
The attention even extends to games that are theoretically competitors toFallout, likeDestiny 2, where player whythelongface133 shared a customized Titan armor set designed to emulate the look of a ranger from theFalloutNew California Republic faction. Shared on the DestinyFashion Reddit community, whythelongface133 used a number of Titan armor ornaments to come up with a look closely resembling the NCR Ranger uniform, which appears on the cover art forFallout: New Vegas.
Destiny 2 Player Cosplays In-Game as Fallout: New Vegas NCR Ranger
An elite group of NCR soldiers, the Rangers wear a signature suit of combat armor that incorporates a heavy leather duster and a telltale full-face gas mask and combat helmet. The look is so distinctive thatplayers have imported the NCR Ranger’s aesthetic into games likeStarfieldand beyond.
For their attempt, whythelongface133 centered the look around the iconic gas mask helmet, using the Eidolon Pursuant Helm from Season of the Witch paired with the Erebos Glance shader to color its visor red. The Viperidax Gauntlets from Gambit, Veritas Plate from theWitch Queenexpansion, and Crucible Clutch Extol Greaves and Wing Discipline Class Item round out the ensemble. When colored using the Gamekeeper shader, the result resembles a long brown coat worn over an armored breastplate, boots, and well-worn denim pants, in keeping withNew Vegas' western motif.
Players praised whythelongface133’s work, commenting with pledges of allegiance to the NCR and jokes referencingFallout: New Vegas.Others suggested that Bethesda join hands with Bungie to produce aFallout-themedDestiny 2crossover and add some officialFallout-themed exotics, such as armor ornaments that evokeiconicFalloutPower Armor suits.
