Destiny 2 Guide: Every Reworked Armor Set Bonus In Monument Of Light
Bungie completely flipped the armor meta by giving every set unique two and four piece bonuses.
Automatically sharding armor with bad stat spikes isn't a safe bet anymore. The system tracks bonuses at two and four pieces, meaning you can mix sets to build specific gameplay loops rather than running a single look.
Every single set in the game now directly affects weapon performance, ability loops, or resource generation. I compiled the complete manifest of all 56 sets, grouped by activity type and restructured completely to save you time.
