Want To Cosplay A Destiny Guardian? These Guns Can Complete Your Costume
Destiny isn’t out yet, but we have a sneaking suspicion that some of you are planning on cosplaying one of the game’s Guardians. Whether you choose to don the heavy armor of the Titan, heft the precision rifles of the Hunter, or weave spells like the Warlock, you’re going to need a good weapon.
Etsy seller Eric Newgard, who goes by the seller name ImpactPropsCa, has created collectibles from a number of franchises, has designed a stellar looking Thorn pistol, which is a reward for completing the game's Charlemagne's Vault area on Mars. These $195 prop kits are 3D printed and come in 10 parts.
You won’t get finished products, which means you’ll need to sand and paint them, but you’ll also be able to give them a customized look that fits your costume. And, with the included instructions, you can get the seven gears to spin.
You can see more images of the Thorn pistol on Newgard’s Etsy page. The Destiny beta starts tomorrow on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Be sure you’re ready with our handy guide.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
