Dear Bungie Team, Please bear with me, I’ve never left a suggestion this desired in any forum ever. As of 2025, Destiny 2 has evolved into a game where endgame players care just as much about fashion as they do about combat efficiency. With transmog, shaders, and ornament design reaching some of their best levels yet, players have developed strong personal identities through their looks. However, one limitation still restricts creative freedom: Legendary armor ornaments cannot be applied to Exotic armor pieces. Why This Change Is Needed 1. Exotics Dictate Fashion Too Heavily Every build in Destiny 2 is anchored around an Exotic armor piece. Whether I’m running Celestial Nighthawk, Heart of Inmost Light, Ophidian Aspect, or Star-Eater Scales—it doesn’t matter. My entire outfit must revolve around the Exotic’s appearance or its Exotic ornament. This forces players to choose between: • Optimal gameplay performance, or • The appearance they actually want. That choice shouldn’t be necessary in a game that celebrates personal expression and creativity. 2. Legendary Ornaments Are Some of the Best Looks in the Game Many of the most stylish armor sets, event ornaments, battle pass designs, and Eververse pieces are Legendary-only. These sets often define the fashion themes players build around. But if your Exotic doesn’t match, the entire look is broken. 3. Exotic Ornaments Don’t Always Fit Every Theme Exotic ornaments vary wildly in style, theme, or shader compatibility. Some only take shaders partially, others hardly change color at all. Even with an Exotic ornament applied, the piece can clash completely with a player’s intended aesthetic. 4. Player Expression Is a Core Pillar of Destiny Bungie has consistently shown that player identity and customization matter—Transmog, shader reworks, Armor Charge redesigns, loadouts, and favoring fashion in community spotlights. Allowing Legendary ornaments on Exotics is a natural extension of that philosophy. How This Would Improve the Game • Unlimited fashion freedom without sacrificing build performance. • More value for Legendary ornament purchases, as they’d work across more gear. • More diverse fashion in the game world, as Exotics would no longer bottleneck creativity. • Better cohesion in armor design, letting players mix themes fluidly. Addressing Possible Concerns • Exotic silhouettes and silhouettes for identification: Exotic visual clarity is already blurred by the existence of Exotic ornaments, which completely change silhouettes anyway. Legendary ornaments wouldn’t create any issue that Exotic ornaments don’t already cause. • Rarity identity: The Exotic perks define Exotics, not the outward appearance. Gameplay recognizability comes from perk behavior, not shoulder pads or arm straps. • Business model concerns: This change would increase engagement with Eververse and Ornament sets, not reduce it. Players will buy more ornaments if they know they can use them on their most important armor pieces. Conclusion Letting Legendary ornaments override Exotic armor would massively improve fashion flexibility while keeping gameplay untouched. Destiny 2 is at its best when players can express themselves fully, and this change would make Exotic-locked builds just as customizable as the rest of our gear. Thank you for considering this update and for continuing to support the creativity of the Destiny community.
