Destiny 2’s 12 armor archetypes and how they set primary and secondary stats

Destiny 2 divides armor into 12 archetypes that determine an armor piece’s primary and secondary stats. Players choose archetypes to shape which stats an armor piece provides, and investing in the right stats makes a build stronger. Each archetype corresponds to a specific stat combination aimed at different build approaches.

• There are 12 distinct armor archetypes in Destiny 2.
• Each archetype assigns both a primary stat and a secondary stat to an armor piece.
• Selecting armor archetypes controls which stats a player gains and helps define a character build.
• Investing in the correct primary and secondary stats for an archetype measurably strengthens that build.
