Armor mods have seen significant changes and improvements inDestiny 2over the past few years.Shadowkeep added Armor 2.0back in 2019.

The mods available to Ghosts are significantly different from the ones that players can equip on their armor, but the benefits they provide are worth it. This guide will explain Ghost mods and what benefits the mods provide for players throughout the various activities in the game.

Ghost Mods Explained
When examining their Ghost, players will see that there are four mod sockets available. Before socketing any Ghost mods, players must ensure to increase the maximum amount of energy available for mods. Masterworking, or raising energy to 10, is significantly cheaper to do for a Ghost Shell than armor or weapons. At most, it will cost just Glimmer and Legendary Shards. Players will not need to use any Enhancement Prismsor Ascendant Shards. Since mods have different energy costs, players will want as much energy as possible to equip either several mods or a couple of powerful mods.
Experience Mod Socket
As their name implies, mods that go in the Experience Mod Socket will boost XP gains. The most basic mod will give 2% more XP, while the most expensive mod will grant 12% more XP. There are six mods in total for this socket.
Tracking Mod Socket
Tracking Ghost mods are very useful. They allowDestiny 2players to highlight planetary resources or loot caches scattered across patrol zones. The range varies from 20 to 75 meters, but the longer the range the more expensive the mod will be. There are also combo detectors that allow players to highlight both planetary resources and loot caches.
Economic Mod Socket
These Ghost mods boost resource gains for players. Primarily, mods for this socket will boost Glimmer. Beyond that, mods in this socket can influence the stat rolls on armor that players obtain. There is a mod that guarantees 10 in a stat (Intellect, Strength, Disicipline, etc) whenever players get armor. There is also a mod thatimproves Public Event loot.
Activity Mod Socket
This set of Ghost mods will increase the likelihood of getting useful materials like Enhancement Cores and Enhancement Prisms. Of course, mods that provide a chance of getting Enhancement Prisms will cost more energy. These mods require players to do the following in core playlists to have a chance of getting either an Enhancement Core or Enhancement Prism.
