Destiny Loadout Builder
What it is
Destiny Loadout Builder is a free, open-source web tool for creating optimized loadouts in Destiny 2. Users choose stat tiers, subclass options, and armor mods, then the builder finds armor pieces and mods that fit those choices. Every part of a subclass can be selected, including fragments that do not change stats. Armor-mod energy costs are included when checking whether desired stat tiers can be reached. Created loadouts can be saved to Destiny Item Manager, and shared builds adapt their stat tiers to what each recipient can achieve by dropping lower-priority tiers when necessary. The 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 allow third-party tools to change a user’s artifact. It also does not create in-game loadouts. The project repository links to the site; local development requires a Bungie third-party developer app, while a DIM API key is optional for DIM integration work. The listed plan is free.
For and against
For
- Free and open source
- Accounts for armor-mod energy costs
- Supports all subclass parts
- Saves builds to Destiny Item Manager
- Analyzer suggests possible improvements
Against
- Cannot equip artifact selections
- Does not create in-game loadouts
- Local setup requires a Bungie developer app
- DIM API key is optional only for integration development
The verdict
Destiny Loadout Builder focuses on planning, analyzing, sharing, and exporting Destiny 2 builds. Its artifact and in-game-loadout boundaries mean it complements rather than replaces those game actions.
Who it suits
It suits Destiny 2 players who want web-based armor and stat planning with DIM integration. Developers extending the open-source project need a Bungie developer app for local setup.
