Destiny 2 Fans Are Using The New Superblack Shader to Make Taken Guardians
05.05.2024 - 13:43 / gamerant.com / Josh Tolentino / Sony
Destiny 2 players with an eye for fashion are creating new customized Guardian costumes themed after the game's Taken faction. Key to the costumes is the Superblack color shader, one of the main prizes from the free Destiny 2 Into the Light update, which Bungie released to keep players engaged with the game as they wait for The Final Shape expansion to launch.
Destiny 2 has seen a surge of player activity since Bungie released the Destiny 2 Into the Light update early in April 2024. Along with the new Onslaught game mode, the update granted players access to some of the most powerful weapons in Destiny 2's history via the BRAVE Arsenal. The lineup of remastered and revamped weapons from previous years gave a major boost to nostalgic players, as well as opening up some much-requested options for player customization by unlocking the ability to change an existing character's facial appearance for the first time.
One of the major prizes for participating in Into the Light activities and gaining favor with iconic Destiny alum Lord Shaxx is the Superblack shader, a desirable all-black color shader that gives players a look as dark as a living shadow. A pair of creative players who go by Bluejay_leather and revadike put Superblack to work in short order, using the shader to create custom armor arrangements that resemble none other than the Taken, one of the most dangerous and iconic Destiny enemy factions.
Posted on the DestinyFashion Reddit community, Bluejay_leather and revadike's custom costumes proposed Taken-themed looks for the Titan and the Hunter, respectively. Revadike's Taken Hunter used Superblack on the Hunter's Cloak and Mask, but the telltale Taken effect of deep black shot through with bright white light rays was achieved by mixing in white-dominant shaders like Amethyst Veil and Precursor Vex Chrome. Commenters highlighted revadike's use of the Aphotic Lamellar cloak from the Destiny 2 Season of the Deep and Holdfast mask to emulate the Taken's signature «flashlight face» look.
Bluejay_leather's Titan is inspired by the Taken Thrall enemy, and takes advantage of the fact that Titans have several armor items that incorporate visual effects directly based on the Taken. The Heart of Inmost Light, a popular exotic Titan chest piece, emits Taken radiation when equipped with the Abyss, Inverted armor ornament. Bluejay_leather combined the chest piece with the Heartrend gauntlets, Gensym Knight Helm, and the War Numen's Boots and Mark from the remastered King's Fall raid to create a Titan that gives off true Taken Thrall energy.
Players were impressed by both works, praising both Bluejay_leather and revadike in the comments. Bluejay_leather's effort earned kudos from one commenter for its use of a

Where Are All the PS5 Games?
PlayStation’s first half of 2024 has been quietly successful without necessarily setting the world alight. Helldivers 2 proved a surprise megahit in both a critical and commercial sense, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is one of the best RPGs of the year so far – even if it hasn’t quite sold the number of copies both Square Enix and Sony may have been hoping for – and, as recently as a few weeks ago, both Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade launched, bringing with them exciting brands of sharp action.
