While Bungie recently addressed some fan concerns when it comes to armor synthesis in Destiny 2, there are still some aspects of cosmetics that could be improved. However, this feature has been brought up time and time again in the community around Destiny 2 because of some of its problems. Weapon and armor shaders in Destiny 2 allow players to customize their characters, weapons, ships, and sparrows to suit whatever aesthetic fans want. While exotic weapons are an easy example to point to for items in Destiny 2 that players grind for, shaders have also given the community options for customization. From cosmetics on weapons, to ships, to sparrow mounts, there have been different flashy items for players to find.
Over the years, the game has expanded the different kinds of equipment that players can get obtain with a variety of weapons and armor. As a looter-shooter, one of the defining features of Destiny 2 is its loot system.
