Destiny two'south Armor ii.0 organisation brought a whole new avenue for players to customize their characters. 1 of the largest additions that came with Shadowkeep was the introduction of the Seasonal Artifact, a new detail that grants powerful armor and weapon mods with Exotic-tier effects.

Some of these mods have shaped the meta builds for sure seasons, such as Oppressive Darkness and Tyrant's Surge. Even the less impactful mods are a major boon that allows for new builds in all game types. Season of the Lost has brought some meta-defining mods of its own that yous should consider using. Here are the ten all-time Antiquity mods introduced in Destiny 2's Season of the Lost.

Updated September 4th, 2021, past Charles Burgar: Season of the Lost brought a new Artifact to Destiny ii. The Wayfinder's Compass has some devastating new mods and some old favorites. If you dear build-crafting, this is arguably the all-time Artifact modernistic we've ever received in Destiny 2. This Artifact has single-handedly made Fusion Rifles desirable in endgame PvE, given Stasis classes nigh-infinite ability usage, and and so much more. We've updated this article to comprehend the all-time mods you lot tin find in Flavor fifteen'due south Artifact.

10 Anti-Champion Mods

Destiny 2 Champion

Anti-Champion Mods (Arms, i Energy): Weapons burn a shield-piercing/explosive payload/disrupting rounds that counter Champions.

Simply put, anti-Champion mods are mandatory for Destiny 2's endgame PvE content. Nearly raids and Ordeal Nightfalls require these mods to make them beatable.

Discarding Champions entirely, these mods are however worth using on weapons. Anti-Barrier mods can pierce Hydra and Phalanx shields while also piercing a Hobgoblin'southward immune phase while regenerating. Unstoppable Rounds force targets to stagger regardless of their wellness threshold, and Overload Rounds prevent enemies from using abilities while afflicted by the disquiet. They serve no function in Crucible only are game-irresolute in PvE.

9 Well Of Authorization

Destiny 2 Stasis Elemental Well

Well of Say-so (Elemental Well, five Free energy): Picking up a matching elemental well grants you Super energy.

Matching elemental wells grant around 2.five% Super energy when picked up. That sounds pitiful on paper, but there'southward ane affair that makes this mod an S-tier pick: Elemental Shards. This armor modernistic counts Stasis Shards—the melee shards that drop while sure Stasis Aspects are equipped—to count as elemental wells.

Because just how many Stasis Shards you can make, you can very hands get 25% of your Super back from ane short skirmish every bit a Stasis subclass. If y'all're a Revenant, y'all tin can pair Well of Potency with Thermoclastic Blooming for an absurd corporeality of Super energy with each Withering Blade. On its own, Well of Dominance is incredibly underwhelming for a 5th-column modern. Simply when paired with the correct build, this mod has the potential of giving yous Supers in less than a infinitesimal.

8 Unstoppable Fusion Rifles

Destiny 2 Sleeper Simulant

Unstoppable Fusion Rifles (Arms, half dozen Energy): Aiming down FUsion Rifle and Linear Fusion Burglarize sights loads a high-affect flare-up that stuns unshielded combatants. Strong against Unstoppable Champions.

Nosotros mentioned Champion mods in a previous entry, merely Unstoppable Fusion Rifle deserves a special mention. Since these weapons have a powerful debuff mod in the form of Particle Deconstruction, Fusions and LFRs have become a main-stay in Season 15'due south meta. This modern ensures they'll remain relevant in endgame PvE content. A single shot from a Fusion or LFR volition stun an Unstoppable, then this modernistic is incredibly consistent.

Some notable weapons to employ with this mod are:

  • Vex Mythoclast
  • Sleeper Simulant
  • Merciless
  • Whatever Rapid-Fire Fusion Burglarize
  • Lorentz Driver

vii Passive Guard

Destiny 2 Black Talon

Passive Guard (Class Detail, half dozen Energy): Receive less damage from combatants that are close to y'all while y'all are wielding a sword.

Passive Guard reduces incoming damage by 50% while you meet two conditions:

  1. You lot're currently holding a Sword.
  2. The enemy is near you.

It's difficult to quantify the latter, but if you lot're in melee distance, this mod will 100% exist working. Passive Guard allows y'all to apply Swords in Master and GM Nightfalls. This pairs well with Overload Sword, giving aggressive players a means of shutting downwardly Champions and other tough mobs quickly. If you love Swords, this mod should always be on your class item.

six Thermoclastic Strike

Destiny 2 Revenant Hunter

Thermoclastic Strike (Form Detail, 3 Free energy): Solar and Stasis melees disrupt combatants. Strong confronting Overload Champions. Refresh your melee power whenever you or a member of your fireteam stuns an Overload Champion.

Thermoclastic Strike does 2 things:

  1. Your Solar and Stasis melees can Overload Champions.
  2. Stunning an Overload Champion refills your melee ability.

The melee recharge issue works with any bracket, not simply Solar and Stasis. Your Overload options this season are Bows and Swords, two options that are less than ideal for most GM Nightfalls. With this modern, yous can easily counter Overloads while leaving your arm slots gratis for other mods. Some of the mods this flavor are uncommonly strong for Solar and Stasis builds, then consider slapping this modernistic on your builds if yous programme to brand a Solar or Stasis-oriented build.

five Withering Heat

Destiny-2-Dawnblade

Withering Heat (Class Item, 6 Energy): Causing damage with a Solar ability weakens Champions for a short duration.

Withering Oestrus causes Champions to take thirty% increased damage when they're hit with a Solar ability. The debuff lasts for well-nigh 5 seconds and does not stack with additional debuffs.

This mod is fantastic for Dawnblades, Gunslingers, and Sunbreakers. Bottom Tree Gunslinger is especially noteworthy here, every bit your Super in that spec is the precision variant of Golden Gun—one of the highest-impairment Supers in Destiny 2. Debuffing a target earlier unleashing a high-damage Super on them is cypher short of S-tier for difficult content. Information technology's only a fourth-column modern too. But since this modernistic only works on Champions, nosotros can't rate this modernistic any higher on our list.

4 Thermoclastic Blooming

Destiny 2 Solar Subclasses

Thermoclastic Blooming (Artillery, two Energy): Defeating a combatant with a Solar or Stasis melee creates an Orb of Power.

Don't let this fifth-cavalcade mod deceive you. Thermoclastic Blooming is much stronger than it sounds. This mod gives an Orb of Ability upon a Solar or Stasis melee kill. Thermoclastic Blooming doesn't have an internal cooldown, meaning your melee can spawn more Orbs than a Super if it kills enough enemies.

Granted, these Orbs are on par with Masterwork Orbs, but these Orbs spawn for you and your squad. If you want to help your team spam Supers, Thermoclastic Blooming is a fantastic option.

3 Resonance Siphon

Destiny 2 Beyond Light Stasis Subclasses
Via: Bungie

Resonance Siphon (Class Particular, 2 Energy): Gain Stasis ability energy whenever yous or a fellow member of your fireteam stuns a Champion.

Simply put, if you lot're using a Stasis bracket, Resonance Siphon should e'er be equipped. For two energy, you tin can regain 60% of your ability energy whenever an Overload Champion is stunned.

With how common Overloads are this season, this effectively means y'all have space abilities when Champions are present. You tin fifty-fifty freeze an Overload to reset its stunned status, allowing you to trigger Resonance Siphon as often every bit you'd like. Shadebinders and Revenants should have this mod equipped at all times.

2 Focusing Lens

Destiny 2 Duskfield Grenade Cropped

Focusing Lens (Class Item, iii Energy): Your Calorie-free abilities do bonus damage to combatants affected past Stasis.

One of Season of the Called's best Artifact mods is back. Focusing Lens increases the damage of your Light abilities by 25% against targets that are slowed or frozen. Focusing Lens stacks with other buffs and debuffs, meaning you can pair this modernistic with the forty% debuff Particle Deconstruction provides.

If that isn't enough to convince you that Focusing Lens is proficient, all damage dealt while in a Well of Radiance counts as Calorie-free ability damage. This modernistic effectively makes Well of Radiance give all of your weapons an additional, multiplicative 25% damage increase. Coordinated teams that have at to the lowest degree one Stasis user need to take this modern equipped. It'due south hands i of the strongest mods in Destiny history.

1 Particle Deconstruction

Destiny 2 Vex Mythoclast

Particle Deconstruction (Grade Item, 7 Energy): Dealing damage to a combatant with a Fusion Burglarize or Linear Fusion Rifle grants bonus damage with a Fusion Rifle or Linear Fusion Rifle against the combatants for a short elapsing. This effect stacks up to 5 times.

Mods that accept paragraph-long descriptions are almost always actually good. Particle Deconstruction follows this trend nicely. In essence, Particle Deconstruction provides a 40% debuff for Fusion Rifle and LFR users. You'll need to striking the target 5 times before the debuff reaches its full effect.

But once that debuff is fully applied, nothing volition survive. Fusions and LFRs tin compete with the infamous double slug Shotguns and Chaos combo used in most raids. Better all the same, this mod stacks with Shadowshot tether. Apply this modern's debuff before yous tether, and you'll end up with an 80% harm increase against whatever enemy you're facing. Pair that with Weapons of Light to have 1 of the strongest DPS combos in Destiny history. If you raid or run GM Nightfalls at all, this mod should ever be equipped.
