Destiny Signature Series Strategy Guide › Armory

Overview

Welcome to the Armory. This section examines all of the arms and armor available to outfit your Guardian. The proper equipment can greatly enhance the power of your Guardian, and knowing what to look for in a weapon or piece of armor is important. There is an entire constellation of weapons available for you to find and earn out there in the solar system, and this chapter breaks down the core mechanics behind every weapon you can find in the game.

This chapter also discusses the mods that can appear on weapons and armor, and it outlines how you can assemble complementary sets of armor that work best with your weapon choices and your specific specialization. Over time, you assemble an arsenal of weapons and a literal locker filled with armor choices. No weapon or piece of armor is perfectly suited for every situation in Destiny, so learning what to use and when to use it is a vital skill for an aspiring Guardian.
