What is Arc 3.0 in Destiny 2?
A Bungie’s blog post for Destiny 2 revealed that Arc 3.0 would deliver speed and impact in equal measure – which it did.
As with prior subclass 3.0 versions, there are a series of buffs and debuffs that can be applied.
If you’re new to Destiny 2, the other non-Arc elements to consider are:
All Arc 3.0 Aspects and Fragments
Guardians can customize their Solar subclass in multiple ways with Solar 3.0, and that’s done through Aspects (class-specific) and Fragments (universal) options.

Aspects
Fragments
There are 14 Fragments in total for Arc 3.0 in Destiny 2, and each one has various effects and, in many cases, stat changes.
How to unlock Arc 3.0 Aspects
While Stasis Aspects and Fragments for Stasis are unlocked through visiting the Stranger after completing Beyond Light’s campaign, if you’ve played Destiny before, you’ll immediately have access to all Arc 3.0 Aspects when you log in during Season of Plunder.
You can gain access to more Fragments in exchange for Glimmer by visiting Ikora Rey in the Tower. Furthermore, new players can get their Aspects and Fragments through the initial New Light experience.

Hunter
Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Hunter build
Arc Hunters are all about rapid hits, particularly in melee range. With the following Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 build for Hunters, dodging will increase the charge rate of your melee, and boost its range, while also jolting them. Defeating them will then buff your dodge speed, meaning your Hunter can become a sort of constantly moving knife expert.

Titan
Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Titan build
Arc Titans really lean into the power fantasy of being an unstoppable force, and might just be the most fun you’ll have punching monsters in the face. Titans also happen to have plenty of melee-focused exotic armor pieces, although our preference is to just zap everything around us with Dunemarchers. Thunderclap takes some time to charge, but it’s so satisfying that it puts a smile on our faces.
- Aspects: Juggernaut, Knockout
- Melee: Thunderclap
- Grenade: Blinding Grenades
- Fragments: Feedback, Recharge, Resistance
- Mods: Bountiful Wells, Heavy-Handed, Melee Wellmaker
Warlock
Destiny 2 Arc 3.0 Warlock build
Not technically a melee build, and instead focused around swapping your grenade for an Arc Soul, this build keeps you fighting alongside it for as long as possible while also buffing what it offers in return.
