April’s Destiny 2 cosmetic event pits mechs against monsters

It’s that time again – the destiny 2 The annual Skin Clash is back, and this time with a new and improved selection of Monsters vs Mechs, with the winner securing a spot in Destiny 2’s cosmetics store in the near future. Any Destiny 2 player who is willing to sign up for emails from Bungie can vote for their team of choice, with the winner going into the game later this year.

Community voting polls begin on April 7th and run for almost a full week through April 13th. At that point, votes will be tallied and everyone who participated will be rewarded with an exclusive Broken Barriers emblem for free. So even if you don’t think your team is going to win this year, it’s worth making your voice heard.

Let’s take a closer look at these designs, starting with the monsters. On the left we have a cyclops/monkey hybrid mostly covered in smooth metal armor except for your father’s hairy legs which dominate the lower half. Next, we have a cool focal fish set that includes a light-up visor and elbow pads to illuminate pitch-black locations. Finally, and this is by far the best skin, we have a super unsubtle Godzilla set on the right – paired with a giant tail cape. That’s rad and frankly carries the Monster Team on their loneliness.

Taking a look at the mech team, it’s clear that all three are inspired by Gundam and other iconic Eastern robot designs. On the far left is a tasty rock, a blue and white color scheme reminiscent of the original Gundam. The center has an ambiguous look as far as inspiration goes, but stands out from the rest with sleek panels and fabrics at the back. Finally, the orange mech on the right is a certified winner – you’ve got to love asymmetrical armor.

What do you think? Let us know which of the two teams looks the best below, and be sure to enable email contact on your Bungie Account to vote for your favorite.
