In Destiny 2 there is now a new armor set called ‘Artful Armor’, which was introduced with the 30th anniversary. This armor offers anyone who possesses it a particularly strong advantage in build crafting and allows a glimpse into the future.
Players in Destiny 2 are currently playing the new activities from the ’30 Years of Bungie’ package. While the Guardians are on the hunt for weapons inspired by Halo in the 6-player activity ‘Trials of Eternity’, the old Xur amusingly comments on the proceedings with his galloping Starshine friend. But that’s not all there is to the new loot:
- The Gjallarhorn is back, including a catalyst
- The Magnum pistol from Halo 1 has been remade for Destiny 2
- And the new Thorn armor set shines in chromatic glory
Additionally, another cool highlight of the anniversary DLC has become known. Those who play the dungeon ‘Grasp of Avarice’ receive a currently unique armor set as loot with a practical advantage for the new build crafting.
What makes the ‘Artful Armor’ so special?
The special thing about the ‘Artful Armor’ set is that it has an additional fifth bonus mod slot. Since Lightfall, players can utilize a unique mod slot that grants them +3 for one of the character stats, such as strength, mobility, resilience, etc.
This is an option that didn’t exist before: Normally, armors in Destiny 2 only have four mod slots. There is a general slot to improve armor values. For example, for using resilience or recovery mods. Two additional slots are designated for different weapon mods, including ammunition finder or armor charge mods. The last slot is for a boost of character stats, such as strength, mobility, resilience.
This special advantage of five instead of four slots makes the ‘Artful Armor’ in Destiny 2 a coveted loot. Especially regarding the new build crafting, this armor set provides players with the best option to apply more mods simultaneously.
How do I get an Artful Armor? Players can earn ‘Artful Armor’ with the fifth mod slot in the dungeons on the Grandmaster difficulty. However, earning a complete set that also has good armor values is not so easy.
More special rewards for difficult activities: The Grandmaster dungeons also require a correspondingly high power level and contain champions. They are therefore a challenging activity that Bungie has intentionally equipped with this special loot, as dmg04, Bungie’s Community Manager, mentioned on Twitter.
It was the goal to offer players more than just master weapons for difficult endgame activities.
Are you already a proud owner of an ‘Artful Armor’ set, or did you not know about the special reward waiting in Grandmaster dungeons? What do you think about Bungie offering such particularly rewarding items for the higher difficulty levels? Let us know in the comments.
