Destiny 2: Armor Set Bonuses What They Do and How to Get Them

Armor Set bonuses in Destiny 2 are a new feature added with the Edge of Fate. They are not the most influential, but they can add the final piece to your build. Each Armor set comes with two bonuses. The two-piece will give you a moderate bonus, while the four-piece has an additional benefit. In total, you can have two bonuses active at one time while using an Exotic.
