Destiny 2: Known Issues (Comprehensive).Sunday Plz - Give us a way to re-watch cutscenes!.The Fallen are the main enemies associated with Arc damage and shields. Guardians can stun Overload Champions with the Jolt keyword and Unstoppable Champions with the Blind keyword. After defeating an enemy with a Voltshot weapon, reloading then charges the next shot, which will cause Arc damage to chain between nearby foes.Īs with other damage types, Arc has intrinsic means of dealing with Champions in Lightfall.

Arc is useful for popping blue shields on enemy combatants.Īrc weapons sometimes have access to the exclusive Voltshot perk. Arc - Destiny 2 Damage Type GuideĪppearing blue in Destiny 2, Arc energy represents electromagnetism. The Cabal are the main enemies associated with the Solar damage type. They can also stun Unstoppable Champions using the Solar Ignition keyword. In Lightfall, Guardians can stun Barrier Champions while they have the Solar keyword Radiant in effect. This perk creates explosions when defeating enemies, inflicting the Scorch effect on nearby foes. The exclusive Solar weapon perk is Incandescent. You can defeat enemies with orange shields more easily - as well as explosively pop the shield - by attacking them with Solar damage. Solar energy appears orange in Destiny 2 and is related to heat and nuclear fusion. Void shields and damage is mainly associated with Scorn and Taken enemies. Starting in Lightfall, Void can stun Barrier Champions through Volatile Rounds, as well as Overload Champions via the Suppression keyword. The second is Destabilizing Rounds, which causes nearby targets to become Volatile on final blows. The first is Repulsor Brace, which grants an overshield on defeating a Void-debuffed enemy. Void weapons also have some synergy with Void subclasses. If an enemy has a purple shield, Void weapons will do extra damage to it until the shield is destroyed, at which point the shield will “pop” and damage nearby foes. Void energy appears purple in Destiny 2, and represents gravity and related phenomena. Strand’s exclusive weapon perk is Hatchling, which spawns a Threadling at the target’s location on precision final blows or rapid kills with non-precision weapons.Īdditionally, Strand can stun Unstoppable Champions through the Suspend keyword, and Barrier Champions through the Unravel effect.

Strand weapons have synergy with Strand subclasses through fragments and other effects. This damage type represents Guardians tapping into a psychic weave that underlies reality and manifesting it through the Darkness. Strand is being added to the game in Lightfall. Scorn and some Fallen and Taken enemies can wield Stasis. Headstone generates Stasis crystals on precision kills, while Chill Clip slows enemies hit with attacks from the top half of the magazine.Īs of Lightfall, Stasis can stun Unstoppable Champions through the Shatter keyword and Overload Champions through the Slow keyword. However, they lost this bonus in Lightfall. In the past, Stasis weapons benefitted from the Kinetic damage boost against unshielded targets. StasisĪdded to Destiny 2 in Beyond Light, Stasis is a Darkness ability that can freeze and slow enemies. Dealing sustained kinetic damage to a target emits a shockwave that damages any nearby targets. The Kinetic weapon perk is Kinetic Tremors. This makes them great for finishing off enemies after you pop their shields with the corresponding energy type. However, as of Lightfall, Kinetic primary weapons do 10% more damage to unshielded targets, while Kinetic special weapons do an extra 15%. In the past, Kinetic (and Stasis) weapons did 5% more damage than other guns to unshielded combatants. They fire projectiles that don’t have any special effect against enemy shields, for the most part. Kinetic weapons are basically regular-old guns. In this guide, we’re breaking down every damage type in Destiny 2 so you can understand the differences between then. These damage types are associated with different subclasses and weapons, and each have different effects on the game’s enemies. There are five different damage types in Destiny 2.
