Key Points About Damage Resistance in Destiny 2:

1. Damage Types: There are primarily three damage categories in Destiny 2: Kinetic, Energy, and Power (Heavy). Each type has specific weapons and abilities associated with it.
2. Resistance Sources: Players can gain resistance through various sources, including armor mods, subclass abilities, and specific perks. For example, certain armor pieces may provide bonuses to resist specific damage types.
3. Resistance Percentages: The maximum resistance percentage players can achieve varies, but typically, it caps around 50%. This can change based on gameplay factors like buffs and debuffs.
4. Subclass Abilities: Each subclass has unique abilities that can either enhance damage resistance or provide shields. For example, Titans can use their barricades to reduce damage from enemies.
5. Environmental Damage: Players can also take damage from environmental hazards (like fire or falling). While these types of damage are not directly tied to damage types, certain armor perks can mitigate this damage.
6. Super Abilities: Some supers can either deal damage or provide protection, depending on the subclass and the situation.

Example Use Cases:

• PvE Activities: Knowing your resistance types can help in raids or strikes where specific enemy types deal specific damage. Players can tailor their loadouts to maximize resistance.
• PvP Engagements: Understanding how damage resistance works can be crucial in Crucible matches, especially when facing enemies with specific weapon types.

This table serves as a basic guide to understanding damage resistance in Destiny 2. Players can utilize this information to better equip themselves and strategize in both PvE and PvP scenarios. If you’d like to dive deeper into specific mechanics or build suggestions, feel free to ask!
