Fan creators often form the backbone of a video game’s community, andDestiny 2’s fandom is no different. Some players create funny memes and inspiring fanart, while other creators are more mechanics-focused, and oneDestiny 2fan’s chartcould prove to be very useful for newbies and veterans alike.
Destiny 2players are currently awaiting theBeyond Lightexpansion, andBungie is bringing important changesto the game that players can research and read about online to prepare for what’s coming next in the game. However, sometimes it isn’t the devs who provide the most detailed breakdowns of information, but the most dedicated fans, who are often motivated purely out of love for the game, fueled by hundreds or thousands of hours put in to play.

This particular fan goes by the name Bachmanetti on Reddit and Twitter, and is a self-described “data nerd” who took it upon themselves to create a full chart breaking down “nearly” all the causes ofDamage Resistance inDestiny 2. The chart was posted to Twitter, but it links to a long post on Reddit that delves into the data behind the chart, and is a helpful guide for fans who want to know more about how Bachmanetti got these numbers.
The chart goes in-depth into a lot of different features and factors, like the relationship between the Damage Bar with a player’sshield and health inDestiny 2, Resilience, Damage Resist mods such as Resist and Barrier, other forms of Resistance like Protective Light and Warmind’s Protection, and how to combine Resistance. That last factor points out that most of the time, Resistance types are applied “one after the other.” The Reddit breakdown is much more thorough, but the chart works as a quick reference guide.
The OP includes a tongue-in-cheek notice at the top of the chart thatBungie implementsDestiny 2changesat its whim, and that the chart is only current as of Version 2.9.2. Like every multiplayer game with a playerbase this big,Destiny 2is subject to constant tweaks and updates, including some that players are less than happy with. But even if this reference guide won’t stay current forever, many of the basic principles will most likely apply for a long time, unless Bungie radically changes how damage works inDestiny 2.
The larger post on Reddit has been very well-received by theDestiny 2community, which is largely made up of people just as passionate about the game as Bachmanetti (although maybe with not as much time on their hands and familiarity with numbers). Everyone contributes to fandoms in different ways, and this breakdown could prove very useful for a lot of players.
Destiny 2is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
