Information
Type	Damage Resistance
Slot	Chest Armor
Description	Reduces incoming Arc damage

Arc Resistance is a Legendary Armor Mod in Destiny 2 that reduces incoming Arc damage when equipped on Chest Armor.

Overview

Arc Resistance is a damage reduction mod that provides protection against Arc-based attacks from enemies. This mod can be particularly useful in activities with high concentrations of Arc damage sources, such as Fallen enemies using Arc weapons or during Arc burn modifiers.

Effects

• Reduces incoming Arc damage by 15% when one copy is equipped
• When two Arc Resistance mods are equipped, the damage reduction increases to approximately 25% due to diminishing returns from stacking

Acquisition

Arc Resistance mods can be obtained through:

• Random drops from legendary engrams
• Vendor purchases when available
• Dismantling legendary armor pieces

Usage

This mod is most effective in the following scenarios:

• Fighting Fallen enemies who primarily use Arc weapons
• During activities with Arc Singe or Arc Burn modifiers
• In Crucible matches against opponents using Arc weapons or subclasses
• Paired with other damage resistance mods for maximum survivability

Stacking and Synergy

• Arc Resistance stacks with other damage resistance sources but with diminishing returns
• Can be combined with other elemental resistance mods (Solar Resistance, Void Resistance) for protection against multiple damage types
• Works alongside general damage resistance mods like Concussive Dampener

Energy Cost

• Requires 1 energy to slot into chest armor
• Low energy cost allows for flexibility in mod combinations

Notes

• The effectiveness of resistance mods has changed throughout various updates to Destiny 2
• Elemental resistance mods are generally less effective than specialized resistance mods like Concussive Dampener for their specific damage types
