Preparing
Starting the five-piece armor search

The calculation begins after the interactive controls load.

This plan assumes five masterworked Tier 5 Armor 3.0 pieces, one stat mod on each piece, and the tuning rules available in 2026. Targets are minimums. Armor drops are still random.

Plan first, farm second

What this Destiny 2 armor calculator actually solves

Inventory optimizers help once the right armor is already in your vault. A Destiny 2 armor stat calculator answers an earlier question: which rolls should I farm?

D2 Armor Lab starts with the distribution you want. It checks the current Armor 3.0 roll structure, chooses five archetype and tertiary profiles, then assigns stat mods and tuning. The result tells you which rolls to look for while you farm.

The calculation

How Armor 3.0 stat planning works

The calculator uses the values found on Tier 5 armor. It does not move base points outside the Armor 3.0 roll rules.

01

Set minimum stat targets

Set the minimum for each stat, up to 200, then enter the total bonus or penalty from subclass fragments.

02

Search archetype pairs

Each archetype locks the 30-point primary and 25-point secondary. The calculator compares all 12 current pairs.

03

Choose each tertiary

The 20-point tertiary can be one of the four remaining stats. This is often the roll that turns a good piece into your piece.

04

Spend mods and tuning

The calculator uses five +10 or +5 stat mods, then applies Balanced Tuning or a +5/−5 transfer where needed.

515 modeled points

A full Tier 5 set supplies 450 masterworked base stats, up to 50 from five major stat mods, and 15 from five Balanced Tuning mods. Fragment bonuses are added separately.

What each Destiny 2 armor stat controls

The stat panel uses three bands: Setup below 70, Core from 70 to 100, and Overcharge above 100. Use the labels as planning cues, not hard breakpoints for every ability.

Health

Orb healing and flinch resistance.

Above 100: Faster shield recovery and more PvE shields.

Melee

Melee cooldown and external energy gains.

Above 100: Increased powered, unpowered, and Glaive damage.

Grenade

Grenade cooldown and external energy gains.

Above 100: Increased grenade ability damage.

Super

Super energy from damage and external gains.

Above 100: Increased Super ability damage.

Class

Class ability cooldown and energy gains.

Above 100: Class-ability overshield and scaling effects.

Weapons

Reload, handling, and minor/major damage.

Above 100: Ammo gains plus boss and Guardian damage.
Use the farm plan

From target stats to five armor profiles

Treat the recommendations as roll profiles, then match them to a helmet, arms, chest, legs, and class item around your Exotic. For example, "Powerhouse with a Health tertiary" means the drop needs Weapons primary, Super secondary, and Health tertiary.

Use the target setup link to reopen the same target stats, fragment offsets, and minor-mod count. A tuning recommendation names the Tier 5 tuned stat to look for. Balanced Tuning does not require a specific +5 destination.

Calculator notes

Destiny 2 armor stat calculator FAQ

The model is based on Bungie's published Armor 3.0 rules and the June 2026 archetype update. Read the full armor archetype guide for the primary and secondary pair table.

What does this Destiny 2 armor stat calculator do?

It starts with your minimum target stats, recommends five Armor 3.0 archetype and tertiary profiles, and assigns stat mods and tuning. The result is a list of armor rolls to farm.

Does the calculator use all 12 armor archetypes?

Yes. It includes the original six archetypes plus Siegebreaker, Skirmisher, Demolitionist, Colossus, Reaver, and Powerhouse, which Bungie added with Monument of Triumph in June 2026.

Why does the calculator assume Tier 5 armor?

Tier 5 armor always has 30 points in its primary stat, 25 in its secondary stat, and 20 in its tertiary stat before masterwork bonuses. Lower-tier rolls vary, so they may not reach the same result.

Can I include subclass fragment stat bonuses?

Yes. Enter the total fragment bonus or penalty for each stat. The calculator includes those values when it checks your targets.

Is this the same as D2ArmorPicker?

No. D2ArmorPicker searches armor in an authorized account. D2 Armor Lab needs no login and plans the archetypes, tertiary stats, and tuning outcomes you still need to farm.
