You customize your alien-slaying Guardian with cool armor earned through your various exploits, which you can then colorize with special shaders. But for the most part, if you like a specific armor look, you're also stuck with that armor's statistics--even if they're bad. That'll change in Destiny 2's upcoming fourth year, when Bungie adds a transmogrification option for armor.
Bungie made the announcement in its This Week at Bungie blog post. In it, director Luke Smith runs down a number of changes coming to the game over the next few content seasons. Transmogrification is in "early development," Smith said, and is set to get introduced in Year 4, which kicks off in the fall. Bungie hasn't said exactly when the feature will make its way into the game, though, which suggests it could be a while into next year before Guardians become fully customizable.
It basically meant that players were forced to keep multiple sets of armor if they liked different looks, the same way they might keep multiple sets for specific character loadouts.
Transmogrification will allow you to change any armor to look like any other armor, from the sounds of things, but just owning an armor piece won't automatically unlock it as a universal ornament. Rather, you'll have the option to transform an armor piece into an ornament.
Still, that's a big change for Destiny 2 that will make it a lot easier to become a fashion-forward immortal space marine. Unfortunately, it sounds like we'll be waiting a few months at the very least before Guardians get our new wardrobe options.
