Destiny 2’s Halloween event is here with new Gundam-style armor

As someone who lacks the technical skill and wherewithal to make a Gundam-style Super Sentai suit for myself, I will happily settle for a video game that let’s me give my characters one. You can imagine my luck. Destiny 2’s made-up version of Halloween is back for the month, and it’s bringing some off-brand Gundam cosplay with it.

This year, The Festival of the Lost isn’t just Destiny 2’s goofy annual Halloween celebration, but the debut of three new armor sets that won a fan competition last spring. Gundam-style armor is the highlight of Festival trailer.

The armor cannot be given away, however, they are available to purchase through the Eververse in-game store. These armor can be bought for 1,500 silver (Destiny 2’s premium currency purchased with real money — about $15 worth) or 6,000 Bright Dust, a sizable amount of the game’s free in-game currency. So unless you’ve been carefully saving up your Dust, you’re going to have to drop some coin for these looks.

Otherwise, the Festival is essentially unchanged from last year’s — players will don goofy makeshift masks while completing “haunted sectors” that add ghosts and ghouls to a number of the game’s existing Lost Sector mini-dungeons. You can get candy by wearing the mask. The candy can then be exchanged for goodies in-game.

The festival will also feature a brand new weapon, the Mechabre sniper gun. Get it? Because mechs. And Halloween. Mechabre! A good pun.

As with other seasonal events, you can start the festival off by looking at your Event card under the In-Game Quests tab. You can also redeem candy from Eva Levante inside the Tower.

Festival of the Lost is Oct. 18-Nov. 8.
