Ironically the best orange vanguard shader I know is "Vanguard Nightbeam" from Season of Dawn.

For real, like how is it the worst possible shades of BOTH orange and blue? 😭

I don't think I have ever once used a Vanguard shader for anything Orange and Blue is just boring

So true!

It really comes down to taste, but I'm not a fan of the vanguard shaders either for the most part. There's a lot of shaders in the game. You're not gonna like all of them.

Being a Knicks and a Mets fan I'm fine with the blue and orange.

just make them permanent unlocks in enclave, and they should be coming from a high difficulty triumph. like complete a grandmaster with 2 players only play x amount of trials matches (there ain't no way i'm ever going to bother going flawless or worse) gambit complete seal, x amount of matches, x amount of invader kills etc. unique shaders could be released too. like dungeon solo flawless, complete a 3-4 man raid, (taken shader memento for weapons) max out event triumph (example solstice farm triumphs, collect all loot) do it for a unique memento.

The colors aren't bad. You just don't like them. The new animated shaders get a lot of hate for no reason. It actually looks good on heavy weapons. Honestly I doubt most can make one better.

Actually I really like the combo of Vanguard colours, I mean there’s so many different ones. The angelos one is probs fav for weapons and the new one has a glowho vibe I like it.

The colors themselves aren’t bad. Usually white with blue and orange. Perfectly fine combination, I think it’s just the tones and amount of each color used that makes the more recent shaders look bad.

Its really up to personal tastes, so its hard to declare it as universally bad, but I personally take issue with that, myself. Some people really love it, and on the right weapons and equipment those shaders can look good. Really my biggest gripe is just too much orange. I don't know how they do their color profiles, but they are everywhere and we have 4 swatches for each. I feel they should be universal in display and order of placement. Top - Primary Right - Secondary Bottom - Tertiary Left - Small accents Apply that to every single piece of gear in the game, and that leaves room to create more shaders. Even if you take the same exact swatch, and simply switch those colors, it creates many fundamentally different looks and its not hard to do. Then its really giving variety to color customization, and we know exactly where each color/texture will be applied because it all follows the same order. The color box previews are just a mess as is, and much of the time its not even displaying the right colors [i](Argent Teratorn)[/i] that will show, which is just stupid. Alternately, I always thought it would be cool to just unlock textures in that same kind of order and just have a color wheel to customize with, but that requires an entire recoding of the shader system, so its much less viable, but still a dream I have dammit😂. God that would be cool.

Thank god I’m not the only one! All they have to do for half the palettes is switch em around a little, or use different shades that go well together, but apparently that’s too hard! There’s maybe one good Vanguard shader, but nope, Gambit, Shaxx, and Tess Eververse have all the good ones

They are fine just need better patterns on armor

Ok

You mean you don’t like post blue slushy vomit?

Blue/orange doesn’t work for me. So I’ve never used any vanguard shader or emblem.

Yea, have never used. I have an issue with how a particular shader will look completely different on one armor piece or ship or vehicle than it will on another
