Destiny 2: Shadowkeepsaw the overhaul of the armor system.
Even for players not interested in build crafting, there are plenty of game-changing mods that everyone should use.
This list does not includeArtifact mods.
Primary weapons, especially Exotic Primaries, help you find ammo more quickly.
On their own, Ammo Finders might seem underwhelming.
In practice, these mods prove invaluable for most PvE builds.
In essence, Elemental Wells now grant Charged with Light stacks.
If the Well matches your subclass energy punch in, you’ll gain two stacks of Charged with Light.
This sounds lackluster on paper until you realize how easy it is to spawn Elemental Wells.
Most Elemental Well mods are tied to using your abilities.
This is fantastic for allowing ability-centric builds to access buffs like Protective Light or Firepower.
you’re able to also spawn Elemental Wells from your weapons.
Even Stasis Shards can count as Elemental Wells with the right mod.
Anyone that plans on completing tough PvE content should seriously consider making a Warmind Cell build with this mod.
If a second Arc mod is installed, gain +20 Mobility.
If a second Arc mod is installed, gain +20 Strength.
Powerful Friends and Radiant Light help your allies become Charged with Light when you do something.
In this case, it’s when you either become Charged with Light yourself or cast a Super.
What makes this duo worth mentioning is their secondary bonuses.
When you use two Arc Combat Style mods, a secondary bonus will activate on both mods.
In this case, you’ll gain +20 Mobility from Powerful Friends and +20 Strength from Radiant Light.
Requires one-third of your Super energy.
Since finishers can only be executed in PvE, this mod does nothing in PvP.
It also allows you to play a double Special build if you so choose.
Taking Charge is one of the best means of obtaining the Charged With Light buff in Destiny 2.
Masterwork Orbs and Super Orbs grant the same.
Want to use High-Energy Fire in PvP?
Rock a Masterworked gun and this mod.
Making a Super-oriented build?
Run Taking Charge and Energy Converter to get even more Super energy out of your Orbs of Power.
Taking Charge is a must on every Charged with Light build.
Copies of the same mod don’t stack.
Scavenger mods go onto a player’s leg armor.
In PvP, these mods are mandatory.
A single mod lets you obtain two rounds per Special ammo brick.
Introduced in Season of the Lost, Kickstart mods drastically reduce your ability cooldowns.
If you use two of the same mod, this energy refund becomes 30%.
Shockingly, this works in PvP.
When paired with a high Discipline stat, you’re free to throw significantly more grenades than normal.
And for PvE, the additional ability uptime provided by Kickstart mods is just too good to pass up.
