Different Ghost Skins?

[i]Before I continue this, I just want to state that this is something I'm not sure that someone else has brought up, nor if it's really something that's worth bringing up. It's just something that both my friends and I are curious about and I might have found "evidence" (and I use that term loosely) that it could be true. [/i] I know that customization is a big part of Destiny, whether it's to change the way your character looks, your gun looks, emblems, ships, Sparrows, etc. However, I was a little confused about whether the Ghost would be able to be customized. It is the companion that will stick with you during the entirety of your time in the game, so why not be able to spice it up a little and give your buddy a new look? In the video that Bungie released that talked about the special editions of Destiny like the Ghost edition, Limited edition, and the Digital Guardian edition, you can see that it offers a unique Ghost skin that's distinctly different from the default one. It was mentioned "So everybody else will get a white one, you'll get this red one." I'm not sure if this could mean that the players who only got the regular edition will be stuck with the white one forever, or that they will just be stuck with it until they find another. (I prefer the latter). In the link I shared, I took a picture of the same video when they were showing off the limited emblem in the character menu, I noticed that by the Ghost's skin slot, there were four other darken squares, which means that there's four other items in that particular slot. This leads me to believe that Ghost will have different skins you can earn. How you can earn them, I don't know. How I hope that you could earn them is if it represents a certain action or deed that you've done. Whether it's from completing a certain raid boss, defeating the campaign, or some other possible event. It would be cool that these new looks could mean something, but just being able to find or purchase new ones would be cool too. Like I said before, I know it's probably not that big of a deal, just something I thought might be interesting. I'm not a Bungie employee so I can't guarantee if it's true or false, and I don't mean to start false rumors. I'm only a fan who likes to discuss what could or couldn't be in the game that I look very much forward to. It could even be pointless for all I know, but if you want to suggest any ideas you may have on my theory, how you could possibly obtain these skins, or even if you want to discuss the different kind of skins you'd like to see in the game for your Ghost companions, feel free to post it on this topic. Thanks for reading :)

  • would be interesting to give the ghost skins different abilities. like the standard ghost has a flashlight. maybe others could display info on enemies, or a lootchest tracker, maybe even one that can decrypt engrams on the fly without the need to go to the cryptarch. pretty lame if it was purely a cosmetic chance.

      • That idea was scrapped, with other things, just before release. Skins, ship customization, story, etc... Who needs it.

      • Atm there are 3 ghost skins ingame atm. The normal white one, the red and white one from the LE/GE and a dark blue and yellow skin that can only be obtained by glitching into some part of the game and pretty much everyone who has it is banned from the game.

      • Personally, I think it might be something to do with finding the dead Ghosts lying around the map. Maybe you'll unlock Ghost skins if you get so many dead Ghosts? Or maybe they'll be event items, or something. If there's slots for Ghost shells, I'm sure they'll be a way to unlock them.

        • Have some ghost have minor abilities like how the warframe carriers do. Pick up ammo for you automatically, provide a frontal shield for like 15 secs, revive you one time Per heroic strike mission only, display enemy data, have an empty type of pule/stunning ability....it could Go on and on. Of course, you don't want to make them too strong or give them too much ability. Just simple things

            Yes, if you played the alpha or the beta and check out your "Gear", you would see the spot where the ghost skins are at :) EDIT: Go to your profile and go to your class; in your case, go to your titan class. Scroll over to "gear" and scroll down until you see the ghost shell. I think our's is currently called "generalist shell".

          • Destiny staff have explicitly stated that they intend to make ghost skins modifyable in one of their videos. How you will acquire these new skins are unknown.

          • If you look in the equipment slot of your inventory there is space for multiple ghosts this suggests skins

          • Shins will probably be super rare drops, DLC, cryptarch rewards for levelling him and of course the ghost edition

          • If they don't have some assortment of ghost skins to grab, its everybodies loss.

          • I know the Ghost can be given a different skin, as to how many I'm unsure. The general shape of the ghost hasn't been talked about if you can go into that much detail, it would be pretty cool if Bungie added something like that in the future though.

            • I see no reason why there wouldn't be ghost skins if it has its own slot in your inventory. The ones we find in game will probably look cooler than the ghost edition skin anyway.
