Overview
Minor Resist was a damage reduction mod that provided protection against attacks from minor enemies (standard red-bar enemies). This mod has been deprecated and no longer functions in the current version of Destiny 2. Players who have this mod equipped should replace it with another mod.
Previous Effects
When functional, Minor Resist provided:
- 10% damage reduction from minor-tier enemies (approximately 9.26% based on community testing)
- Stacking behavior with diminishing returns:
x1 - 10.00% x2 - 17.86% x3 - 23.58% x4 - 27.16% x5 - 30.00%
Enemy Classification
For the purposes of this mod, the following enemies were considered "Minor" tier:
- Standard enemies with red health bars
- Rank-and-file combatants
- Basic Fallen, Hive, Vex, Cabal, Taken, and Scorn units
- Most common enemies encountered in patrol zones and activities
Previous Usage
When functional, Minor Resist was considered one of the most practical resistance mods because:
- Players typically take the most damage from numerous minor enemies
- Minor enemies appear in the highest quantities in most activities
- The cumulative damage from many small hits often exceeded damage from fewer major/boss enemies
Deprecation
As part of armor mod system updates, Minor Resist has been deprecated and no longer provides any benefit. The in-game description states: "This mod has been deprecated and no longer functions. You may replace it with another mod."
Replacement Options
Players looking for damage resistance should consider:
- Concussive Dampener - Reduces area-of-effect damage
- Sniper Damage Resistance - Reduces damage from long-range sources
- Melee Damage Resistance - Reduces damage from close-range sources
- Elemental resistance mods (Arc Resistance, Solar Resistance, Void Resistance)
History
Minor Resist was part of the original Armor 2.0 mod system introduced with the Shadowkeep expansion. It was later deprecated as Bungie reworked the damage resistance system to provide more meaningful choices for players.
