Destiny 2: Equipment

Destiny 2 equipment encompasses a wide range of weapons and armor, each categorized by rarity and Power level, which directly impact your gameplay effectiveness. You will manage kinetic, energy, and heavy weapons, alongside armor pieces divided into five classes distinguished by color-coded rarity, from common to exotic.

Acquiring gear involves collecting various Engrams dropped by enemies or found in chests, completing quests, and trading with NPCs. The guide details how to farm Legendary and Exotic items, including the role of the Postmaster and Vault for managing loot. You will learn about dismantling redundant equipment to gain resources like Glimmer and Legendary Shards, essential for upgrades.

Modifications (mods) enhance weapons and armor, obtainable mainly through the Gunsmith vendor, with strategic installation boosting stats like stability or cooldowns. The guide explains how to upgrade gear to Masterwork status, unlocking additional perks and stat tracking, requiring materials such as Enhancement Cores and Prisms.

Infusion mechanics allow raising Gear Score by sacrificing items to strengthen favored weapons and armor. The chapter also explores the various Engram types highlighting their acquisition methods and decoding processes.
