What does Armor Synthesis do in Destiny?
Armor Synthesis is a game-changing feature in Destiny 2, allowing players to unlock new possibilities in terms of appearance and customization. Introduced as a version of transmog, Armor Synthesis enables players to transform non-Exotic armor pieces into universal ornaments. This means you can change the appearance of any non-Exotic item in your inventory, creating a fresh look that suits your Guardian’s unique style.
Unlocking the Potential
To take advantage of Armor Synthesis, you’ll need Synthcord, a special resource earned by completing various activities, including bounties, Nightfalls, and the Raid. The good news is that you can collect Synthcord and redeem it for Synthweave, which is then used to transmogrify your non-Exotic armor pieces.
Here’s a summary of the Synthweave creation process:
• Synthcord: Earn 100 Synthcord through activities and quests.
• Synthweave: Redeem 1 Synthcord for 1 Synthweave.
Universal Ornaments: The Result
By applying Synthweave to a non-Exotic armor piece, you’ll unlock its appearance as a universal ornament. This allows you to swap out the appearance of any non-Exotic item, making it look like your new, high-level ornaments.
Unlocking Potential Ornaments
Armor Synthesis offers the chance to create a variety of new ornament combinations, which is essential for completing sets or showcasing your favorite appearances. The feature works by breaking down non-Exotic armor pieces, turning them into universal ornaments, which can then be used with any other armor piece that matches the slot (head, chest, arms, etc.).
Here’s an example of the benefits you can gain:
• Elegant Combinations: Swap out parts to create stunning, head-turning armor sets that match your preferred aesthetic.
• New Looks, No Grind: Break free from the grind and create the look you want without farming specific armor sets.
Conclusion
Armor Synthesis in Destiny 2 has revolutionized the way we customize our Guardians, providing unparalleled control over our armor appearances. With this feature, you can:
• Create new, stylish combinations that stand out
• Change the appearance of non-Exotic items
• Use universal ornaments to represent any non-Exotic armor piece
• Farm resources without requiring specific armor sets
Remember to save up your Synthcord and redeem it for Synthweave to unlock the full potential of Armor Synthesis and start exploring new, custom combinations!
