Human Male Guardian Sci-Fi armour.

[ScottxCXXV.2397]

So I've been fashion crafting for my potential end-goal armour design. I know a lot of Guardians go the angel/paladin look. I'm thinking of going more along the lines of a Sci-fi version of that very similar to the Synergetics or Exo-Suit aesthetic. I've been looking and have so far come up short :/. Does anyone have any gear suggestions/ideas?

Edit:  I recommend that you check the item type galleries to help build the look you want; weapons, armor, outfits, mounts, the works.

As noted above Special Ops is a great starting place.  Also remember there are two special ops helmets.  Regular and Captain.  The Captains helmet will require a decent gold investment but its worth it.  Just a couple other suggestions as well.

Reality Rig Armor (SAB event)
Valkyrie Powered Gloves (SAB event)
Infused Aurora Chestguard (Black Lion Chest)
Seven Reapers (Black Lion Chest)
Inquest Armor (Dungeon currency)
Warbeast (POF armor)
Magitech (Gem store)
Aetherblade (Gem store)
Ice Reaver (Gem store)

There's also the Jade Tech armour from EoD and the Holographic pieces from Dragon Bash. (Those are probably not a good option if you haven't already got them, because they won't be available until June.)

Just curious, what extra needs to get done for the captains helmet that drives the cost up?

(I never got around to unlocking the Special Ops armor when it released so I'm going to be playing catch-up soon)

Unfortunately it's a bit of a gold or time sink depending on how you look at it.  The ingredients to purchase the components and items are like globs of ectoplasm, xunlai ingot and one more item.  It requires you unlock ALL gear for the set.  I think each item unlock was around 30-65g, the gold increases for the later items to unlock. Fortunately one gear unlock will unlock all three : heavy, medium and light.  Then they require  you to have a certain amount of Luxon weapons, 12-15 if I recall for the total set, so unless you got some stashed away in your bank, they are like 12-15g per.  I think in total my gold spent on the Captain's Helmet was +400g iirc.  Time spent it's about a week or so, but its basically the Gyalva Delve Meta, Dragon's End Meta, some Fractals.  But like ScottCXXV I was going for Doom guy/Space marine inspired look so it looks fantastic.  Especially since the only option up until that point was the Gas Mask from Season 1.  Still might end up switching around a few things later.

That is spendy. Thanks for the heads up.

You could consider the Gas Mask skin for headgear - 25 laurels and 15 gold to buy it outright, and I think it can be acquired through the Tower of Nightmares mastery achievement again now that content has been re-implemented (just pick your time carefully if you want to do a tower run, unless you have friends to bring along).
