The ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam is the titular mobile suit of the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. It is piloted by Shinn Asuka.

The ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam was a high performance general-purpose MS commissioned by ZAFT Chairman Gilbert Durandal, who ordered it to be incorporated with the most advanced technology of the time, including technologies banned by the Junius Treaty. Based on the ZGMF-X56S Impulse Gundam and Shinn Asuka's combat data, it was designed to handle any combat situations with a single set of varied armament, a concept first tested on the ZGMF-X56S/θ Destiny Impulse. For close combat, it had two beam boomerangs that doubled as beam sabers, a pair of palm beam cannons, and a large beam sword. For ranged battle, it was equipped with a long-range beam cannon and a beam rifle. For defense, it mounted a small physical shield as well as two beam shield generators. Finally, it had a standard set of head-mounted CIWS.
