Destiny 2: Best Looking Armor Sets for Warlock

Be sure to keep the style points locked down.

Making sure your Guardian looks cool is perhaps the most important thing in Destiny 2. Sure, having armor with good stats is important, but what’s the point of that if you don’t look cool as well? Luckily, Destiny 2 allows us to customize the appearance of our armor, so we don’t have to sacrifice stats for fashion.

We’ve collected the top 10 best looking Warlock armor sets in Destiny 2, including some shaders for our top picks. I’ll be ranking the best Warlock armor sets in Destiny 2, from Stylish to Spellbinding.

Let’s get started!

10. Tusked Allegiance Suit

Where to Get: Xur

The Tusked Allegiance set has one major draw: the tusks on the forehead. I think this helmet is one of the best for Warlocks, and it takes shaders pretty well too. It’s just fun to wear, and it’s incredibly unique. It was first introduced to Destiny 2 during Season of the Risen and was available through the then-new PsiOps Battlegrounds activity. Nowadays it’s harder to get, since as far as I know, the only way to get it is hoping it’s Xur’s featured set.

9. Ossuary Suit

Where to Get: World Drops

The primal aesthetic of this armor set is really awesome. Most of the armor has a leathery look, with bones to add the “primal” part. It looks like something a person would wear out in the densest, most dangerous jungles in the world. Without any doubt, the Ossuary Suit is one of the coolest in Destiny 2.

8. Dreambane Suit

Where to Get: Shadowkeep Campaign/Activities

The Dreambane Suit was originally very important since it was required to do certain Shadowkeep activities, but now it’s just a beautiful armor set. The front of the Warlock chest piece is particularly well-designed and unique. The whole armor set is genuinely gorgeous, with a blue-and-gold aesthetic that feels perfect for just about anything. Plus the right shoulder looks like a Halo: Reach shoulder pad, which I love.

7. Bushido Suit

Where to Get:

The Bushido Suit is an easy one to talk about. The samurai aesthetic is just as cool in Destiny as it is in anything, and the two swords attached make this one of the more unique sets in the game as well. (If only we could have gotten dual-wielding glaives at some point.) I love the bright, flowing cloak, the detailed shoulder pads, and everything else this set has to offer as well. There’s really nothing at all wrong with it. It’s best with a melee build since it fits the aesthetic, but you can really use it for anything.

6. Pantheos Resplendent Suit

Where to Get: Pantheon

This is the newest set on this list, and it’s by far one of the best. I love the while-and-gold look, and even if you change the colors, it still maintains the same sleek aesthetic it has by default. It looks like something you’d wear in a space laboratory, which is a lot of fun. Plus it comes from the Pantheon activity, which is still very popular, so not hard to find people to help with. I definitely recommend getting this set while the Pantheon is still popular.

5. Deathsinger Suit

Where to Get: Crota’s End Raid

The Deathsinger suit is one of the best for each class, including Warlocks. The key feature of this set for each class is the blue-green spikes that can be seen on almost every piece from the set. The Warlock chest piece (featured above) has the spikes on the shoulders which give it an instantly-recognizable nature, and they also mix well with other sets if you don’t want to go all in on spikes.

The only downside to this set is that it doesn’t take shaders very well. Since the blue-green spikes can’t be changed with shaders, you’re very limited in what you can do. Some of the darker shaders work well here, and some of the other green-based ones do as well.

4. Taken King Suit

Where to Get: Ghosts of the Deep Dungeon

This might not look like the most exciting armor set just from looking at it, but once you see it in-game you’ll almost certainly understand. All three classes have a beautiful armor set featuring the Taken aesthetic on an animated, moving surface. It’s hard to really explain how this set is animated, but it has a very smoky look that works well with almost any shader. Definitely try it with any shader that changes colors or has an animation.

3. Breath of Detestation Suit

Where to Get: Root of Nightmares Raid

Now this is an armor set that catches the eye. Let’s start out with the obvious–the third and fourth arms sprouting out. Those things look ridiculous in the best way possible. It’s the exact kind of absurd armor design I personally love to see in Destiny. It is a space fantasy game after all. Why not have some weird armor?

In addition to the fun design, the pattern on the skirt-like waist part is animated. It cycles through several pulsing colors, and they change depending on your shader. This opens up infinite room for unique looks, so it’s a perfect armor set for those of us who want to look ridiculous. To emphasize how crazy you can make this set look, here are some shader options to check out, alongside the also-ridiculous Cenotaph Mask Exotic helmet. (Shaders: Methane Explorer, Seraphim Cloak, Copperbrand)

2. Worm God Suit

Where to Get: King’s Fall Raid

The Worm God Suit is a truly “grand” armor set. It follows the hive aesthetic from the King’s Fall raid, and perfectly encapsulates what that raid looks like. The chest piece is beautiful and takes shaders really well, especially considering all its unique parts. Here it is in its default look, then with the Dawning Tranquility and Iron Vendetta shaders.

As you can see, this set takes both the more colorful and darker shaders well. There aren’t a ton of sets that you can say that about, so it’s definitely worth grinding the raid for.

1. TM-Moss Custom Suit

Where to Get: Spire of the Watcher Dungeon

Topping off our list of the best looking Warlock armor in Destiny 2 is, unsurprisingly, the TM-Moss Custom Suit! This set is great on all three classes, but the Warlock version stands out the most.

Bungie did a fantastic job capturing an Old West aesthetic within the Destiny universe. The cowboy hat is, of course, the star of the show. But every piece of this suit is amazing. From the stylish duster cloak to the leather gloves, this is the best armor set for Warlock fashion in Destiny 2. Here’s a look at the full set in the default shader, then with the Grand Luster and Pole Position shaders.

Also, there is some text on the back part of the coat which can be annoying. Sometimes it doesn’t show up on shaders at all because of non-contrasting dark colors. Most of the time, though, it shows up very clearly. It’s not too bad, but it has to be mentioned.
