The full solver starts after the interactive calculator loads.

Planner assumptions: five masterworked Tier 5 Armor 3.0 pieces, one stat mod per piece, and current 2026 tuning access. Targets are minimums; actual drops remain random.

Plan first, farm second

What this Destiny 2 armor calculator actually solves

Most armor optimizers begin with your inventory. That is useful after you have a healthy vault, but it does not answer the question that sends Guardians searching for a Destiny 2 armor stat calculator: what should I chase next?

D2 Armor Lab starts with your desired distribution instead. It searches the current Armor 3.0 roll structure, selects a five-piece archetype composition, assigns one tertiary to each piece, and then spends your five stat-mod and tuning slots. The result is a practical farming specification you can keep beside your postmaster, not just a theoretical total.

The calculation

How Armor 3.0 stat planning works

The solver follows the same building blocks shown on an in-game Tier 5 armor drop. It does not invent flexible points that the item cannot roll.

01

Set minimum stat targets

Every point matters up to 200. Set the floor your build needs, then add the net effect of 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

Five +10 or +5 stat mods close the largest gaps. Balanced or +5/−5 tuning handles the final points without hiding the cost.

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 an armor checklist

Treat the five recommendations as profiles, then map them to your real helmet, arms, chest, legs, and class item around the Exotic your build requires. A recommendation such as “Powerhouse with a Health tertiary” means the drop should show Weapons primary, Super secondary, and Health tertiary.

Save the result as a device-local checklist and mark pieces off while you farm. A tuned-stat recommendation describes the Tier 5 bonus you are chasing; Balanced Tuning is easier because it does not require a particular +5 destination. The calculator favors a reachable plan over unnecessary tuning transfers.

Straight answers

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 works backward from your minimum target stats and recommends five Armor 3.0 archetype and tertiary profiles, then assigns stat mods and tuning choices. The result tells you what to farm rather than only checking armor already in your vault.

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 gives a deterministic 30 primary, 25 secondary, and 20 tertiary roll before masterwork bonuses. That makes it possible to produce a concrete farming target. Lower-tier rolls vary and may fall short of the result.

Can I include subclass fragment stat bonuses?

Yes. Open Advanced build inputs and enter the net bonus or penalty for each stat. The solver applies those offsets before judging whether your armor plan reaches the selected minimums.

Is this the same as D2ArmorPicker?

No. D2ArmorPicker is best known for searching armor you already own after account authorization. D2 Armor Lab requires no login and answers the earlier question: which archetypes, tertiaries, and tuning outcomes should you farm next?
