Armor: Difference between revisions

'''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.<ref name="Game Informer">'''Game Informer January 2014''', ''page 54''</ref> Each type of armor has their own bonuses and abilities that are meant to be synergistic with the player's [[subclass]] and [[weapon]]s. 

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; [[Hunter]]s can wear cloaks, [[Warlock]]s can wear bonds, and [[Titan (class)|Titan]]s can sport Marks.<ref name = "TG">[http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/apr/28/destiny-hands-on-bungie-xbox-playstationshared-world-shooter '''The Guardian''': ''how the makers of Halo plan to change the future of shooters'']</ref> Colors (including dyes) and decals are  available.<ref>[http://www.polygon.com/2014/3/21/5533684/bungies-destiny-extensive-character-customization '''Polygon''': ''Bungie outlines ambitions for Destiny's extensive character customization'']</ref> 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.<ref name = ''Alpha''>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref>

Rarity of armor is color coordinated into five tiers: Basic (white), Uncommon (green), Rare (blue), Legendary (purple), and Exotic (gold).<ref name="Game Informer"/>
