Destiny 2<\/em>‘s endgame loot was mostly Adept weapons in Grandmaster Nightfalls and Trials of Osiris, but Bungie added another type of endgame loot with the 30th Anniversary Pack\u2014and it comes with the difficulty to match.<\/p>
Artifice Armor is a new set of armor that comes with an intrinsic perk with the same name. The extra functionality brings “a bonus socket that can be used to equip artifact armor mods from the current season,” according to the in-game tooltip. This means pieces with Artifice Armor will come with an extra mod slot specifically designed to slot in Artifact Mods each season.<\/p>
That functionality comes with a few caveats. First, as of its release, Artifice Armor doesn’t come with measures to mitigate mod cost, meaning you can still run out of energy on your armor if you’re using some of the most energy-intensive mods. Second, it doesn’t seem to bypass slot restrictions, according to player reports<\/a>, meaning you’ll still have to stick gauntlet mods on your gauntlets or other almost-essential mods like Particle Deconstruction on your Class Item slot.<\/p>
