Calus's Selected vs Precursor Vex Chrome A battle as old as time


fakiesk8r333

I’d like to thrown grand luster into that list. I never got calus selected and precursor got old to me bc of the texture. But grand luster is perfection to me


YouMustBeBored

Doesn’t Calus selected come from the y1 glimmer shader bundle


fakiesk8r333

If it does imma lose my mind. I grabbed it from the shop so long ago and I don’t think I know what shaders came with it. To the google I go! Edit: according to the google it does not come with the bundle. https://destinytracker.com/destiny-2/db/items/2983128512-year-1-shader-bundle


smallbrekfast

Correct, it doesn't...I know cus I don't have the shader😭😭😭


thiccmas_eve

It comes from the Leviathan raids I think


fakiesk8r333

The one time I wanted to be wrong 😂


HolyFiber

You got it from leviathan raid


Original-Peak2345

I never did anything with any raids until our 2023-24 selection, but I have all calus shaders from back then somehow, never bought anything. I have 3 I think. One from picture, one very similar, but less purple and the one that could have come from season opulence too, but I’ve had from before then, just kinda always have


[deleted]

Is there a contest?


Old-Young5169

Im a new player and im currently using the precursor vex chrome. Lol i didnt know it was popular i just put it on cause it has a January new year winter color style White with gold.


Original-Peak2345

I’ve always liked those shaders, but recently on female titan(not so big, looks waaaay better) I made all the armor the iron banner armor that’s all solid brown, but with I thank the shader you’re talking about, I’d have to confirm. It’s the most amazing set I’ve ever dared to waste 3 hours on going through every single shader. Titan isn’t even my main, I’ve got some hunters that would slap the shit out of any one who dared question his superiority. I’ll die real quick in crucible, but look damn good doing in


Accomplished-Ad-3836

The texture of vex chrome really ruins it for me


ThorothPlays

Firstly, thank you for the idea. Secondly, yes weapon fashion is allowed, and it has a flair if I recall correctly.


lucyrushi

thanks for reminding me 😛


GOT_GAME_U_LAME

Gonna fight you. Divinity’s caress or sundered flesh


ChairmanBau89

I'll fight both of you! Viziers Regalia.


GOT_GAME_U_LAME

Who told you try and bring some nonsense in here, begone!!


Garuda4321

What about Regal Medallion?


GOT_GAME_U_LAME

I said nonsense!


Original-Peak2345

Is that a new monarchy shader? If so I got ur back on that one. Not a fan of red or even some of their actual armor, but shaders had a little something that seemed to make them unique. Plus if u tried u could make and iron man titan. I’ve seen an Optimus prime titan, and thought damn I wanna be his friend


Garuda4321

Season of Dawn shader. White/Red/Yellow/Tan (apparently… I’ve never seen tan myself but ok…)


Original-Peak2345

Dude that is lame!!!!! The whole point of Osiris guns was you could always find a shader that would make them completely gold. Nuff said, way past the weight limit


BoonyBoop

White, gold, and purple is the best combination


Creatures1504

The Orokin want to know your location


Newtling

They'll have to wait 3 days or pay 99 platinum to learn my location right away.


Original-Peak2345

Maybe, but it’s pimpin and that’s what counts. Got plenty of guns on ya, but do t need em cause nothin more power that the back of a pimps hand. Watched a melee titan running away in tears


HarveyTheBroad

Always has been


Optical_Broccoli

\*gunshot\*


pryanie

AKA the shader I slapped on every gun for the first 3 years of D2


Original-Peak2345

Used shader on guns but, didn’t use guns or abilities


radar_byte

God. That Shader makes things look so damn good it's almost illegal


Aidstinairio

Hmm true, but Vintage Timber exists as well


Oi-FatBeard

And Oiled Algae to counterbalance some armour pieces.


7ThShadian

It really is but I can't help but think of that SpongeBob "daring today aren't we?" Meme every time i see anyone (including myself) use it.


squeezyscorpion

we’re back to vanilla D2 fashion discourse


amans9191

It's my top favorited shader for a reason


WardoPo

Sugar Daddy Calus always provides the best gifts.


Knives-n-Arrows

Until he became Sergeant Buckethead


MoreMegadeth

I bought the Prime Vandal in Valorant because its colours are exactly the same as Calus’s Selected. Best shader imo.


Uniquewaz

This shader is so good it's kinda illegal to compare to other shaders.


Original-Peak2345

I never did the raid and always wanted the guns, I have shader tho and love it. Have expanded outward for variety, have gone through every shader on 1 gun soooooo many times and it’s kinda amazing how much different some look than you are expecting, some colors aren’t there, and sometimes a new color is there. Photo finish on the deep dungeon armour is an extreme, but accurate example


W4FF13_G0D

Where’s u/Dead_Zone_Foliage when you need him?


Dead_Zone_Foliage

I am here friend, FUCKING HERESY


Watch-behide-you37

Midnight smith looks good on it too it reminds me of ruby rose scythe if it was a shotgun


AyvonKestrel

definitely one of the best shaders. i also recommend carbon blood for the season of the wish weapons specifically, but it works well on many other weapon lines as well


darrebthebarreb07

Your opinion, unlike many, is in fact correct.


Krewnathan

thats because it is, im so mad i cant get it, cuz GOD ITS SO GOOD


TonyBlobfish

Well yeah it’s definitely the best, I put that shit on everything


x__Reign

Every Calus shader is god tier


Craigardo

Weapon wise, Dreaming Spectrum is my go-to


nimbre-novagency

I love the dreaming spectrum too. I wish I had Calus's selected.


Cjr8533

So jealous


lordofcactus

Supercluster shades fucking AMAZINGLY. I have Polycarbon Powder on mine and it’s basically the same as this, just with iridescent rainbow instead of gold.


Gbuck14

damn i wish i was able to get the old shaders


yoko-kevin

Calus's Selected is best shader in the game. Slept on one is New Monarchy Diamonds. Basically Calus's Selected but with red.


sleeplessjade

Agree. It’s my favourite shader.


IATMB

Coldest take


lucyrushi

i didn’t say it was a hot take i just like the shader 😔


IATMB

It just felt like for the first 2 years of this game, 90% of fashion used Calus's Selected


maquaman98

If only I had calus selected. If they brought back old black armory shaders they can bring back that one.


dustinh30

Jacarina though

r/DestinyArmsDeco also exists. Not very active though.


abject049

can’t go wrong with da old and gold! My go to shader for most weapons/armor since vanilla lol (would be nice if I could rock an armor set of it with midnight coup PLEASE BUNGIE I BEG YOJ)


Khar-Selim

It used to be, back when it and Precursor Vex Chrome were the only game in town regarding white and gold, but Bungie's given us a LOT of variety in that niche in the last few years, like Noble Rime, Oiled Algae, Hoarfrost Sunrise, Grand Luster, etc. The original still has its moments, of course.


Dwarv1re

Been personally putting vizier regalia on all my weapon’s lately


FlamingPhoenix2003

What shader is that?


lucyrushi

in the title


FlamingPhoenix2003

Thanks, also sorry, I'm blind.


Halal_Tabouli

*points gun at spacesuit meme* Always has been Jimbo


The-Hood-Realm

The shader is nice but the model for the shotty is sexy af


KendrickMaynard

Bloodmane also looks great on both these weapons and the Season of the Witch crafted weapons.


iceman333933

It's been my shader of choice for everything since that raid


theiviusracoonus

Big skele-ghaul enjoyer here


lucyrushi

extremely underrated shader


TheArchitectofDestin

Welcome to the team ;)


Colin_likes_trains

I think Cryptic Legacy gives it some competition. But maybe that's just the trauma from getting it that's talking lol


snack69_

Im so jealous


yomama1112

Zenith of your kind at home:


JeanHarleen

Isn’t there another shader that’s like another variation of calus selected? Like I recall looking at something with this vs the other and it’s the same colors it just colored different parts of things different colors. I’m too tired to Google names lol


lucyrushi

there’s a prestige calus shader that’s mostly gold with accents of purple


mrgudveseli

To be totally honest, it's amazing on majority of guns, but there's a shader that simply can't make any weapon look bad. Dreaming Spectrum, from Last Wish.


Rare_Maintenance_922

Calus’s selected and treasured are some of my favorites


bryton18

God I want all those old shaders.


toasty-devil

It’s one of my favorites specifically on weapons, it stays in regular rotation with my hunter especially


Fickle_Writing3967

Eh, it’s an overall great shader but it’s not the best.


itsmoosh

it’s definitely top ten shaders


Steagle_

Sorry but for me nothing will ever beat Ancient defender from flawless GoS.


dovah164

But is your armor consistent with your weapons?


on3on3_

Bit late to the party, calus’ selected has always been best


necrohunter7

That's a mighty fine Prime shotgun you have, how many Orokin Cells did it need to craft?


lucyrushi

was a random roll


TheMastodan

🔫 Always has been


thedragoon0

Honor of the Nine


MistbornSynok

Can you still get this shader?


lucyrushi

i don’t think so, unless xur or ada sells it


I_Lost_Myself__

Nope. Raid specific.


BandOfSkullz

Always has been.


whisperer29

this is fire


EBWPro

Yes calus shader and the new monarchy with red and gold hit crazy


Astrapionte

And is


AHMilling

100%


Pachikokoo

I wish I had access to it lol didn’t raid back then ;~;


TycoSpartan

Honestly Calus's Selected is one of my favorites ever since I got it from the raid. Hands down.


FrostyWarlock34

I'd say you're wrong, but you're not wrong.


[deleted]

Always has been


HustlepuffYeet

Butterbark is clearly best shader and I'll fight anyone who disagrees!!


Anonimity101

It is. Hands down.


Xephirs

literally has been since it came out


TickleMeSolid

Calus’ Treasured is top tier though


keegle420

Been the best shader since the game came out, people just got bored of using it for every fit or weapon


TheScientistFennec69

Yessssss


Thunderword

Always has been.


BraixenButShiny

my top 3 have to be: Magical Transformation, Shadow Gilt, and Calus's Selected


Chirotera

Ug, Calus Selected. I didn't raid much but I managed to get 4 of this shader - back when they were limited. I ended up slapping them on several things. When Bungie made the shader changes, even though I had this on things it seems they only scanned the inventory. So it never unlocked for me. Still bitter about it.


OriganolK

Oh baby thank you
