How to Achieve Triple 100 Stats in Destiny 2 Armor

Achieving triple 100 stats on your armor in Destiny 2 is the holy grail for many Guardians, allowing for powerful builds and drastically improved performance in both PvE and PvP. This means having three stats – Resilience, Recovery, Discipline, Intellect, Strength, or Mobility – at level 100. It requires a combination of luck, strategy, and dedicated grinding. Here’s a breakdown of how to maximize your chances:

1. High-Stat Armor Rolls: The foundation of any triple 100 build is armor with inherently high stat totals, typically 60 or higher. Look for armor pieces dropping from high-difficulty activities like Raids, Dungeons, Iron Banner, Trials of Osiris, and Legend/Master Nightfalls. Focusing vendor engrams can also be a viable method.

2. Understanding Armor Stat Distributions: Armor stats are distributed across two clusters: Mobility/Resilience/Recovery and Discipline/Intellect/Strength. The higher the total stat roll, the more likely individual stats within these clusters will be high. Look for armor with desirable stat spikes in the stats you’re targeting for your build.

3. Armor Focusing: Certain vendors, such as Saint-14 (Trials of Osiris), Lord Saladin (Iron Banner), and sometimes the War Table (seasonal activity), allow you to focus armor engrams, influencing the stat distribution. This focusing typically guarantees a minimum of 20 in the selected stat.

4. Ghost Shell Mods: Crucially, use Ghost Shell Mods that guarantee a minimum of 10 in a specific stat when decrypting engrams. Discipline, Resilience, Recovery, Intellect, Mobility, and Strength all have mods available. This mod significantly increases your chances of getting armor with a desirable stat distribution.

5. Masterworking Armor: Masterworking armor adds +2 to all stats, for a total of +12 to each stat across your entire set. This is essential for reaching 100 in your chosen stats. Fully masterwork all armor pieces to maximize your stat potential.

6. Armor Mods: Equip armor mods that provide additional stats. Each mod grants +10 to a specific stat. Strategically using these mods is crucial for fine-tuning your build and reaching the desired 100 stats.

7. Class Abilities and Aspects/Fragments: Some class abilities, aspects, and fragments can provide static stat boosts or bonuses based on certain conditions. These can help supplement your armor stats and push you closer to the triple 100 mark. For example, certain Titan aspects can give permanent Resilience boosts.

8. Patience and Persistence: Achieving triple 100 stats is a long-term goal. It requires farming activities, focusing engrams, and carefully managing your resources. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t get the perfect armor pieces right away. Keep grinding and experimenting with different combinations.

By combining these methods – farming high-stat armor, focusing engrams with Ghost mods, masterworking your armor, and strategically using armor mods and class abilities – you can significantly increase your chances of achieving the coveted triple 100 stat build in Destiny 2. Good luck, Guardian!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How important is it to have high-stat armor to begin with?

Extremely important. You can’t reach triple 100 without armor that has a high initial stat roll. Aim for at least 60+ stat total per piece. Armor with rolls in the 65-68 range is ideal.

What activities are best for farming high-stat armor?

Raids, Dungeons, Iron Banner, Trials of Osiris, and Legend/Master Nightfalls are all good sources. Raids and Dungeons offer consistent drops, while Iron Banner and Trials provide opportunities for focused farming. Legend/Master Nightfalls, with their higher difficulty, can also reward with very desirable armor.

Does focusing armor at vendors guarantee a specific stat?

Yes. When vendors offer armor focusing, you can select a specific stat, like Resilience or Discipline. The focused armor will have a guaranteed minimum stat roll in the selected stat, usually around 20.

How do Ghost Shell Mods help with stat distribution?

Ghost Shell Mods guarantee a minimum of 10 in a specific stat when decrypting engrams. For example, a “Resilience Armorer” mod guarantees at least 10 Resilience. This helps skew the stat distribution in your favor.

Should I use different Ghost Shell Mods depending on my class?

Yes. Consider the class you are using. Titans generally benefit from Resilience mods, Hunters from Mobility, and Warlocks from Recovery. However, this can be very dependent on your individual build and playstyle.

What does masterworking armor do?

Masterworking armor adds +2 to all stats on that piece of armor. Across five armor pieces, this gives a total of +10 to each stat overall. It’s essential for reaching 100 in your desired stats.

How much does it cost to masterwork a piece of armor?

Masterworking armor requires various materials, including Enhancement Cores, Enhancement Prisms, and Ascendant Shards. The cost increases with each tier, with Ascendant Shards being the rarest and most expensive.

What armor mods are best for optimizing stat builds?

Armor mods provide +10 to a specific stat. Use these to fine-tune your build after maximizing your base stats and masterworking your armor. Choose mods based on your specific needs.

Can I use multiple of the same armor stat mod?

Yes, you can stack armor stat mods. However, diminishing returns may apply with more mods. Experiment to see what works best for your build.

Do Subclass Aspects and Fragments really affect stats?

Yes. Some aspects and fragments grant static stat boosts or provide bonuses under certain conditions. These can be useful supplements to your armor stats. Read the description of each fragment/aspect carefully.

What stats are most important for each class in Destiny 2?

This is subjective and depends on your build, but generally: Titans favor Resilience (for damage resistance) and Strength (for melee); Hunters often prioritize Mobility (for faster movement) and Discipline (for grenade cooldown); and Warlocks typically focus on Recovery (for health regeneration) and Intellect (for super cooldown).

How do I reset my artifact stat bonuses?

The artifact allows you to add bonus stats, but these must be selected each season. There is a cost of Glimmer to change your selection. You can reset your entire artifact allocation if you wish for a Glimmer cost as well.

Are there any easy tricks to get high-stat armor quickly?

There aren’t any truly “easy” tricks, but focusing armor at vendors with Ghost Shell Mods is the most efficient method. Also, make sure to actively participate in seasonal events that often offer opportunities for high-stat armor.

Is it possible to get triple 100 stats on all six stats?

Very unlikely, almost impossible without using very specific setups. It’s much more practical to focus on achieving triple 100 in three stats that benefit your playstyle and build.

What is the most important thing to remember when trying to get triple 100 stats?

Patience and persistence are key! It takes time, effort, and a bit of luck to acquire the right armor and materials. Don’t give up, and keep experimenting with different strategies.
