Destiny 2 Renegades adds new legendary armor sets that come with new set bonuses. Here is every known set bonus added with this expansion.
Destiny 2 Renegades is just around the corner, launching on December 2, 2025. This expansion brings a Star Wars-inspired crime story, the Lawless Frontier activity, and a ton of new loot to unlock. These include heat-based Blasters and new Exotic gear like Praxic Blade and Heirloom Crossbow, plus a long list of legendary weapons, which you can check out here.
Alongside all those guns, Renegades is also adding several new legendary armor sets that come with new set bonuses. If you missed The Edge of Fate changes, armor new armor now rolls with 2-piece and 4-piece set effects.
Equip two pieces from the same set, and you get a smaller buff. Equip four, and you keep the 2-piece effect and unlock an extra, stronger bonus on top. You can still mix in one Exotic and even run two different 2-piece sets at once.
In this article, we are going through every known Renegades armor set and explaining what its bonuses actually do.
