Collecting gear in Destiny 2 is easy but which armor pieces are the best and what should you keep isn’t that easy, for that reason we created the Destiny 2 Armor Guide. This article is dedicated for new and coming back players who look for the tips about best high stat armor and how to get it.
What is High Stat Armor
Assuming you got the basic set of armor from the Gift of the Gods chest, it’ll only get you so far. Your objective is to get higher stat armor, with what are called spikey stats. They are lumped into two categories: the first three numbers and the second three giving you the total. Ideally, you want a high total but also the correct stats based on your class needs.
The image above has great total stats but look at the distribution. It’s even, not spikey, so on my titan I don’t need any mobility yet I have 16. It’s deceptive because you’d think total equals great, but not so much.
Take this image and see the total is much lower, BUT it’s spikey. This chest Armor piece has huge resilience and strength, perfect for a PvP titan melee build. And now let’s look at a juggernaut of a roll for armor my Reverie Dawn Plate:
How to get High Stat Armor
I have both an armor mod in to increase stats and masterwork boosting the overall stats to 105 which sounds insane but possible. Now imagine using 5 pieces like this and just how powerful your build would be? There’s an easy way to get some decent high-stat armor without doing the hardest dungeons or raids and that’s through: Crown of Sorrow Nightmare Containment, Seasonal Events like Ketchcrash, Psi Ops and Seasonal activities playlist.
As you can see in the picture above, I did a lot of season 18 activities to earn currency then went to the star chart vendor at the helm, and saved my umbral engrams not using them but keeping them in my inventory. With umbral, seasonal currency and legendary shards, I was able to get some random ketch crash armor. However, this armor is random, so sometimes it’s trash, sometimes it’s a treasure, but it can produce super high stats with spikey stats. It’s a great way to kill two birds with one stone. Work on obtaining powerful drops, power levelling and currency which can be redeemed later for possibly god-tier armor.
