Destiny 2 Reveals Mech-Themed Armor For Upcoming Festival Of The Lost
In just a few days, Destiny 2 will begin its annual Festival of the Lost event, the Halloween-themed spectacle that has Guardians don scary masks to collect candy in various activities. It's also the year when the best cosmetic armor sets get released, and this year's set is pretty special.
As chosen by the players last spring, Destiny 2's Festival of the Lost armor ornaments for 2022 are all mecha themed. Mechs beat out movie monsters for the second year with 52 percent of the vote, leaving movie monsters to languish for yet another year.

Expect more information to be released with today’s TWAB.
