The Collective Psyche Armor set is a new addition that Destiny 2 players can claim from ‘The Desert Perpetual’ raid. While veteran players might have already guessed that, collecting this entire set can be tricky. That’s because certain parts of the armor set only drop from specific encounters in the raid. So, you’ll need to know which encounters to prioritize when you’re looking for one of the specific pieces from the set.

In the following guide, we’ll help you acquire the complete Collective Psyche Armor in Destiny 2. We’ll also explore the set’s two-piece and four-piece bonuses.

As we said before, the only way to gain this specific armor set is to farm ‘The Desert Perpetual’ raid. And you’ll need to complete all of the encounters once to retrieve one of the armor pieces. Some of the armor pieces for the set only drop from specific encounters in the raid. So, there’s a high likelihood that you will need to face off against the various bosses more than once. Refer to the following table to understand which bosses have a chance of dropping which of the Psyche Armor pieces.

Encounter NamePsyche Armor Pieces Dropped
IatrosMight drop the Collective Psyche Helmet and Chest pieces.
EpoptesMight drop the Collective Psyche Legs.
KoregosMight drop the Collective Psyche Legs.

You will need to face each of these bosses multiple times to finish the entire set. So, make sure you’re ready to devote the necessary time and energy. Also, you can acquire this armor set for all three classes.

How To Use the Collective Psyche Armor in Destiny 2

The Collective Psyche Armor comes with an interesting set of bonuses. As with all armor sets, you get different bonuses based on whether you have two or four pieces equipped from the set. Let’s take a look at the set bonuses for this one.

  • Two-piece bonus: You get Accrition as a two-piece bonus. With it, every time you pick up an ammo brick, your weapon stow and swap speeds get faster. The effect remains active unless you die. Also, Accrition stacks, so you can take advantage of this from repeated ammo pickups.

  • Four-piece bonus: Doppler Effect becomes active. With this one, the duration for Unravel, Suspend, Sever, Restoration, and Raidant increases.
