All armor set bonuses known so far from Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate

Armor set bonuses will heavily play into the core gameplay loop for Destiny 2 players. Starting with The Edge of Fate, everyone must change how they effectively play the game, as the entire sandbox is getting overhauled. Typically, the armor pieces, being one of the most essential parts of gearing, will need some testing before players become familiar with them.

Part of the reason falls into the newly implemented set bonus system, where equipping multiple copies of the same armor set will grant bonuses. So far, we only know six set bonuses coming with the launch, with even more scheduled to be released later on.

This article reveals the bonuses each set provides and the sources for a few of them.
