Fallout fans are diving into Destiny 2, channeling their adoration for the series by crafting characters that mirror NCR Rangers from Fallout: New Vegas. Leveraging Destiny 2’s customization tools, they recreate the iconic Ranger ensemble right in the game.
While new Fallout games have been scarce lately, the series is experiencing a resurgence in popularity. Players are revisiting older titles, and even Fallout 76, the online spin-off, has broken player records multiple times recently. This renewed interest owes much to Amazon’s Fallout TV show, reigniting fans’ passion and drawing more attention to the franchise.
Interest extends beyond Fallout itself, reaching games like Destiny 2 seen as potential rivals. A player known as whythelongface133 showcased a custom Titan armor set on Reddit, capturing the essence of an NCR Ranger from Fallout. Using various Titan armor pieces, they recreated the NCR Ranger’s iconic look from Fallout: New Vegas.
The NCR Rangers, known for their distinctive combat gear, inspire awe with their rugged combat armor, complete with a long leather coat, a full-face gas mask, and a combat helmet. This recognizable style has even made its way into games like Starfield.
whythelongface133’s attention to detail shines in their recreation of the NCR Ranger’s aesthetic. They focused on the gas mask helmet, using the Eidolon Pursuant Helm from Season of the Witch and applying the Erebos Glance shader to give its visor a striking red hue. Complementing this are the Viperidax Gauntlets from Gambit, Veritas Plate from the Witch Queen expansion, and Crucible Clutch Extol Greaves and Wing Discipline Class Item. The resulting ensemble, colored with the Gamekeeper shader, captures the essence of a rugged Ranger with a long brown coat over armored gear, boots, and well-worn denim pants, reminiscent of New Vegas’ western theme.
Fans applauded whythelongface133’s work, expressing allegiance to the NCR and sharing jokes about Fallout: New Vegas. Some enthusiasts even proposed a collaboration between Bethesda and Bungie for a Fallout-themed Destiny 2 crossover, envisioning official Fallout-themed items like armor ornaments inspired by iconic Power Armor suits from Fallout games.
