Armor is featured quite prominently in Destiny with a wide assortment of pieces specifically tailored to each class of Guardian, and armor for general use by all classes.[1] Each type of armor has their own bonuses and abilities that are meant to be synergistic with the player's subclass and weapons.
OverviewEdit
There are six different categories of armor Guardians can equip: Helmets, Gauntlets, Chest Armor, Legs, Boots, and Class Armor. The last slot, class armor, is unique to each class; Hunters can wear cloaks, Warlocks can wear bonds, and Titans can sport Marks.[2] Colors (including dyes) and decals are available.[3] Class armor offers no increase to defense and is mostly aesthetic, but higher-ranking class armors are larger and more ornate than default or other lower-ranking ones. For example, a Hunter will start out with a plain white scarf without a hood, but can acquire a more decorative hooded cloak, especially one that distinguishes certain achievements.[4]
Rarity of armor is color coordinated into five tiers: Basic (white), Uncommon (green), Rare (blue), Legendary (purple), and Exotic (gold).[1]
