Destiny 2: Weapons and armor classes Destiny 2 Guide
Last update: 28 March 2021
In this chapter of the Destiny 2 game guide you will find information about the weapons and armor classes you can find during gameplay.
The equipment in Destiny 2 can be divided into five classes, which are easily distinguished by the background color of the item. The classes types concern both weapons and armor. Color usually defines the rarity of the item, and the best ones (Legendary and Exotic) guarantee additional features and characteristics, the so-called. "perks" or passive bonuses that increase specific character statistics. It depends mainly on whether we are talking about armor or weapons: in weapons, perks usually provide modified components, such as a additional scope or a weapon magazine. Sometimes you can switch between other weapons parameters free of charge and infinite number of times.
