Destiny 2 Guide: Mapping Out Every Monument Of Light Armor Bonus

Bungie completely blew up the stagnant meta by turning every single piece of old armor into a mandatory grind.

I spent years automatically dismantling anything that dropped with a terrible stat distribution. The Monument of Light update just made me regret every single one of those decisions. Bungie went back and injected unique two and four piece set bonuses into every single armor collection in the game. You are no longer just chasing high recovery stats. You are hunting down specific combat synergies that fundamentally change how your subclasses operate in a firefight.

The Complete Alphabetical Armor Manifest

Before you waste an entire evening grinding a dead activity for the wrong perks, you need to know exactly what is on the table. The original game menus are an absolute nightmare to navigate if you want a clear view of the new system. I pulled all 56 reworked armor sets and organized them alphabetically by their source activity so you can quickly cross reference your vault inventory. Find the gear you want, check the required piece counts, and get to farming.

Activity & Armor Set	Two-Piece Bonus	Four-Piece Bonus
Cosmodrome (Seventh Seraph)	Rasputin's Wrath: Final blows with area of effect damage, Solar abilities, Seventh Seraph weapons, or IKELOS weapons grant Warmind Charges. Each stack of Warmind Charge increases your Weapons and Grenade stats.	Rasputin's Reprisal: While you have Warmind Charges, defeating powerful combatants, destroying a construct, or destroying a Tangle releases a Solar detonation that damages combatants and heals allies. Constructs include barricades, turrets, Stasis crystals, and other objects created in the field.

Forging Your New Build

Because the system triggers at two and four pieces, you can mix and match sets to create highly specific loops rather than committing to a single aesthetic. If you want to optimize your time while farming these sets across the different planets, I highly suggest checking out my Destiny 2 Legendary Marks farming guide to double up your loot streams. You can also grab some upgraded weaponry to complement your new armor synergies by following my Destiny 2 new Exotic catalysts locations guide.
