Destiny Loadout Builder vs GrimTools

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.

GrimTools is a free web resource for creating and sharing character builds for Grim Dawn. Its calculator displays attributes, combat statistics, resistances, equipment, and combined item statistics. Users can select items, prefixes, suffixes, components, and augments, then upload a completed build for a shareable link or load a character save for further editing. Options cover the Base Game and mods including Diablo 3 Classes and Reign Of Terror. The site also provides an item database for searching game items and affixes and a skill tree planner. An offline desktop edition includes the online calculator’s functionality plus build-list management. GrimTools works in modern browsers and has a Windows version; Internet Explorer versions below 11 are unsupported. Save uploads do not support character saves from mods. The calculator notes that dual-wield ranged attacks-per-second values are higher than in game because it uses a different formula. GrimTools is created by Dammitt and is not affiliated with Crate Entertainment.
