What it is

Destiny Loadout Builder is a free, open-source web tool for creating optimized loadouts in Destiny 2. Choose stat tiers, subclass components and armor mods, and it finds armor pieces and mods that fit those choices. The builder includes every part of a subclass, including fragments that do not alter stats, and accounts for armor-mod energy costs when checking attainable tiers. Created loadouts can be saved to Destiny Item Manager (DIM). Shared builds adapt their stat tiers to what recipients can achieve, dropping lower-priority tiers when needed. A Loadout Analyzer reviews in-game and DIM loadouts for possible improvements, such as higher stat tiers from changing armor pieces. The site cannot equip artifact selections because the Destiny API does not let third-party tools change a user’s artifact. It also does not create in-game loadouts. The project is open source and free to use. Local development requires a Bungie third-party developer app; a DIM API key is optional for developing DIM integration features.
