High stat armor

[M249 SAW]

What is the best way to get high stat armor as a f2p?

[Nakos]

Hmm... probably doing the Weekly bounties for Shaxx, Zevala and Drifter. That stuff has a higher chance at high stats as I recall. Watch for the events too, those tend to have chances at higher stat stuff. Usually there's at least one event per season.


It's also worth considering buying at least one Season Pass. The season pass includes one full set of fairly high stat armor by default, and the seasonal activities usually have a good chance at rewarding and/or dropping high stat gear as well.

Wait until the start of the next season though.

Okay thanks!

Vendors like Xur, Ada-1, and Failsafe all have a chance of selling high stat armor. you can also get high stat armor from the free raids and dungeons like Vault of Glass, Kings Fall, Crotas End, And Prophecy.

Raids and Xur.

[Azor]

xur, annual events, f2p dungeons like Prophecy and f2p raids like Vault of Glass. dungeons and raids guarantee 58+ armor drops. xur too guarantees 58+. Annual events are the best for armor because they guarantee 63+ armor drops/rolls/rerolls

Untill 2021 opening world chests, grinding on nightfalls, iron banner would certainly award 76 to 80 pts high armor stats to players as myself that only have one DLC ownership. It's been a year since I've took a break in Season of the Haunted and getting back on the track in this Season of the Witch. Everything I used to done that certainly would guarrantee a strong and balanced armor stat are no longer working.
Most of my armor are 78 to 86 without counting exotics that can go up to 90 pts.

Just as some users pointed out, legacy expansions will not guarrantee to solo players good armor stat unless you go for raids which never played.

Xur has some mid 60 armor right now, just depends on what you want.

Next week iron banner will return and it drops high stat armor and you can focus the older ones too

Best high stat: Master Dungeon and raids, grasp of avarice is free and relatively easy.
Fastest: probably pvp but without the extra stat slot (iron bummer used to drop quite high stats not sure if this is still the case or if I was lucky).

Grasp is not free. There is no way for a f2p player to get artifice armor as of now.

Ops, correct Prophecy is free, mixed them up, does it drop artifice armour? Havent done it that much.

Nope. Master dungeons, and with them artifice, started with Grasp, which was the next dungeon after prophecy.
