Utilizing Chat GPT for PERFECT Armor analysis
I am in the process of min/maxing armor stats for builds. Chat GPT is a godsend IF you understand how to utilize it.
[b]Here is the prompt I gave:[/b]
.
[i]"I need you to analyze what type of armor I need to grind in Destiny 2. Every piece of armor has 6 stats. 3 of the 6 are spiked. The primary number is 30, the secondary 20, and the tertiary is 25. Additionally, each piece can roll out with a random masterwork that adds +5 to any random stat. The armor stats are broken into 6 different stats- Health, Melee, Grenade, Super, Class and Weapons. Remember, only 3 of them will be spiked. The other 3 stats will be +5. You wear 5 pieces of armor total. So in theory, the highest one stat can go is +175 (ie primary in the same category at +30x5, plus the Masterwork in the same category +25). However, you also have +50 points to allot in the form of armor mods. These are free to assign to any stat in increments of +10. The highest effective number for a stat is 200. Beyond 200 does nothing numerically for you. The primary and secondary stats are focused according your selected armor archetype. Not all combinations are available. For instance, the Powerhouse mod will be a primary in Weapons (ie +30) with a secondary in Super (ie +20), with a randomized tertiary (+25 in either Health, Melee, Grenade, or Class). I am going to upload the archetypes in a second, so that you find stat lines for me and tell me what I need to farm in terms of armor archetype and masterwork."[/i]
.
I then proceeded to upload a screenshot of all of the armor archetypes. After this I hit it with the following prompt-
[i]"Okay, now show me what archetypes and randomized tertiary combinations, in addition to masterworks and the +50 armor mod bonuses I need in order to achieve 200 grenade, 100 super, and as high as weapons as possible."[/i]
.
Chat proceeded to give me the exact breakdown to a T regarding what Archetype, the randomized tertiary, and the randomized masterwork.
The breakdown was as follows-
[b]Armor Breakdown-[/b]
[i]- x2 Powerhouse; Tertiary Grenade, Weapons MW
- x2 Grenadier, Tertiary Weapons, Grenade MW
- x1 Grenadier; Tertiary Weapons, MW Weapons[/i]
[b]200 Grenade; 100 Super; 150 Weapons[/b]
Phenomenal for those looking to min/max. Feel free to bookmark this and utilize the same prompts! Just plug and play the second prompt I gave regarding your desired stats!

Just a warning to anyone. LLMs of any kind, are notoriously bad at math. Typically if you give one an 8th grader would be expected to be able to do, it will fail.

So not only is this guy so stupid and lazy he won't do basic addition. ( like super easy first grader addition since its all intervals of 5) he's not even smart enough to copy and past the info into chat gpt correctly. Wtf you mean secondary is 20 and tertiary is 25? This brilliant individual is going to be farming for the armor the wrong armor. And Since he's so obsessed with perfect distributions im sure he remembered to take into account subclass fragment stat bonuses. Or did you trust the all knowing computer to factor that in for you? Once again advertising AI fan boys are just sheep allergic to thier own thoughts. But hey i get it self improvement is hard and takes effort. Why work to better yourself when you can just accept wrong answers from a computer. Just like a calculator, LLM's ensure a quick answer. Not a correct one. But atleast when I use a calculator I can be confident it knows knows how to do math correctly (which chat gpt bas repeatedly proven it cannot.)

Edit : Like 2 Powerhouse and 3 Grenadier is already up to 125 Super

Edited by Zodleon: 8/22/2026 7:53:29 PMWait?! You're telling me instead of doing basic math myself for my pvp armor, I could have spent a small households electricity to achieve the same results?! Why didn't I think of that? /s

Edited by Raven: 8/22/2026 9:45:10 PMI love how you use big words and try to make people feel smaller than you in the arguments in this thread, but you aren't smart enough to think on your own as far as playing a video game optimally. In the end of the day you are a sheep whether you want to admit it or not. Bending your knee to something that's wrong just because it's inevitable tells me everything I need to know.

Using chat GPT to maximize loadouts is the most pathetic thing that I could hear as being praised. It's a gloating that you're cheating. This is why YouTubers make all the money that they do because lazy people like yourself can't think on your own and build your own build without someone telling you what to do. This is spoon feeding handles live in my mother's basement type Flex until I'm 35. Grow up and use some analytical skills on your own and figure out what's cool and what's not that's what makes playing this sort of game fun but when you get mentally exhausted because your white matter is dissolved through too much screen time usage you resort to chat GPT for assistance. G golly whiz man. Grab a pencil and paper if you remember what that is and jot down what worked and what didn't work. Don't say you have no time for that because if I check how many hours you play Destiny there would probably be no excuse.

I just want 200 melee and 200 weapons. I have no use for any other stats. Super stat is about as irrelevant as the health stat in PvE, when my knee does more damage than my super and use Monte Carlo

21 RepliesYou are part of the problem. -blam!- AI. Just use d2armorpicker like everyone else.

What a great use of water. Good thing there aren't 20+ youtube videos and 50+ reddit threads describing basically every build. I wish these builds weren't soo difficult to think up for ourselves, but thinking is sooo hard im glad spicy madlibs is here to save is from using our brains.

Edited by Meat Fountain: 8/22/2026 9:04:03 PMGenerative AI and "perfect" don't go together. That isn't how it works.

DIM armour optimizer you fool 😆 You're doing too much work.

Like I said you are my guy..But this shot slightly above my head. I will reread it about 10 times..Doesn't help I just got off a 10 hour shift..May tinker a bit..But my youngest son is moving in his dorm room for freshman year this morning.So proud but no sleep..ALSO will be looking for Vog run this evening to try to get that shotty we discussed..but would REALLY like a Vex. Picture me getting both in same run.
-
Just for your information, you inverted the secondary (20) and the tiertiary (25).

4 RepliesI just did the math in my head🤷🏼♂️ 5(30+10)=200 5(25+5)=150 5(20)=100

Where is John Connor when we need him?

3 RepliesI’d like to see this analysis with armour set bonuses for builds

Polpadare“Have fun with it” killed the game - old
Gpt would sit in the edz for 10k hours thinking it was a god for efficiently running public events. -
Not sure if this forum will let me post this link but what you are doing is really unnecessary. [url=https://d2-armor-calc-lac.vercel.app/]d2-armor-calc-lac.vercel.app[/url] There's no need to use an LLM for things that a computer can easily calculate

How about we don’t and say we didn’t.

wow, what fun. *yawn*....sorry, ignore that. why not just play to have fun? those that buildcraft to that degree don't care what chatgpt says. as far as i know, chatgpt doesn't actually play the game. and the only way chatgpt can give any helpful advice is by feeding it enough data for it to learn from. and let's face it, your initial prompt is a single users input for it to learn from. therefore, skill, playstyle, etc don't get factored in. just numbers to reach the desired stats you want to achieve. hence, it's borderline useless.

1 ReplyI just watch Mactics videos. He tells me what I need. Streamers tell me everything. I believe everything they tell me. As it was, as it is, as it will be. According to the prophecy.

1 ReplyEdited by NotCreative123: 8/20/2026 3:17:13 PMLol I made a spreadsheet that does the same thing but also includes things like subclass bonuses, mods, and tuning mods. (Back before the season started - now I pretty much know what I need) Don't forget about the subclass stat bonuses or the T5 tuning mods! Also, for those saying to "just use ArmorPicker", they are missing the point! The point is that you can only focus 1 type of armor at a time (Bulwark, etc.), so you need to know which option to focus that best suits the buikd you are planning.
