The Armor Charge modification system is the new version of mods for Destiny 2’s Lightfall expansion, bringing about various new ways to buildcraft in the looter shooter.
Buildcrafting has become one of the key foundations of Destiny 2, as an MMO Bungie wants players to be able to craft and customize their builds to their own playstyle. In the past, Destiny 2 had several modification systems such as Charged with Light and Elemental Wells to accomplish this. However, with the release of Lightfall Bungie has streamlined the system overall, incentivizing players to experiment more with their builds.
This streamlined feature has come in the form of the Armor Charge system, which combines both the Elemental Wells and Charged with Light mods. These mods grant Armor Charges when players collect Orbs of Power, which can be generated in various ways depending on what mods players have equipped. Armor Charges will be held on the player for a certain period of time as a buff, allowing them to spend it on whatever they see fit.
It’s important to know what mods are out there, so you can best understand what mods work well, and how they synergize with each other. With that being said, here’s every single armor charge mod in Destiny 2’s Lightfall expansion.
