Destiny 2 Monument of Triumph Raid Armor Guide 2026

Destiny 2’s Monument of Triumph update is still the kind of long-running system players can return to without constantly re-learning the meta—and this week it’s paying off again with a new armor set that’s straightforward to farm. The catch is that you’re going to need to take part in a Raid to get it, so true solo players won’t have an easy time. At the same time, one of the biggest benefits of the Monument of Triumph rollout is that gear isn’t being repeatedly reshaped with big nerfs or disruptive balance passes. In other words, if something is worth using right now, it’s likely to remain usable for as long as the servers are still running. The trade-off is obvious: the game is not getting fresh content indefinitely, and even patch support is headed toward a stop.

Bungie has now confirmed that the upcoming hotfix for Destiny 2 will be its final one, after which the title will move into a full end-of-service period. That decision lands after company layoffs that reportedly affected at least 292 positions inside the studio, followed by additional cuts across SIE and contractor roles. Even with that reality, the community has not stopped pushing back—fans are still circulating a petition urging Bungie and Sony to reconsider. On top of that, players are planning another “server slam” for Bungie Day on July 7. Regardless of whether the event changes anything, the immediate situation is still favorable: the game is in a solid state, and there’s new material to chase.

Destiny 2’s Best Monument of Triumph Armor Set is Farmable This Week

This week’s Monument of Triumph highlight is a brand-new Vault of Glass armor set named Atheon’s Memory. It’s available for farming during a limited window—from June 30 through July 7—but access is tied to Raid completion. Monument of Triumph armor sets are a major draw for players who care about endgame stats, yet getting specific pieces can be tricky unless the endgame activity you’re running is currently featured. The reason is simple: when a Raid or Dungeon is featured, it repeatedly rewards Tier 5 armor sets, which are essential for chasing the highest possible stats and the best stat distributions. For this week, Vault of Glass is the featured option, which means all Atheon’s Memory pieces you farm will be Tier 5.

2-Piece Bonus: Radiolaria Breach (Atheon’s Memory set) — After you collect an Orb of Power, the next time your shields are broken, you gain a burst of Health for a short duration and release radiolaria in an area around you.
4-Piece Bonus: Collective Power (Atheon’s Memory set) — While you have an active subclass buff, dealing sustained damage can generate an Orb of Power.

There are two practical ways to farm Atheon’s Memory during this featured week. The first method is to farm lower-effort encounters to earn Spoils of Conquest in Destiny 2, while also picking up additional gear along the way—whether that’s weapons or armor. Once you’ve accumulated enough Spoils, you then spend them at the end of the Raid by reaching an Atheon checkpoint. This approach is the quickest route to the set and to the exact pieces you want, but it requires at least one Atheon completion so you can access the chest used for Spoils spending. The second method is simply running Vault of Glass straight through multiple times, which avoids the Spoils-and-checkpoint setup—but it demands a dedicated Fireteam and usually takes more time overall.

Players can clear the first encounter in Vault of Glass to earn some Spoils, but that opening section doesn’t grant any of the Raid’s normal loot drops. Separately, most Raids and Dungeons in Destiny 2 have weekly secret chests, and some of those can be handled fully solo. The same is true for the first Vault of Glass encounter (Raise the Spire).

Identify the silhouettes before time runs out.

Atheon’s Memory is considered one of the strongest armor sets in the game largely because of its four-piece bonus. For many endgame builds, orb generation through kill mechanics isn’t guaranteed—sometimes it’s inconsistent, and other times it simply isn’t part of the plan. That’s why this set stands out: it supports a style where Orbs of Power can be produced more reliably, even when your build can’t always generate them via kills. This is also the reason weapons featuring Attrition Orbs have stayed popular—though depending on the specific endgame situation, you might still need to swap to different weapons, or even rely more on damage-focused perks. Either way, having access to effectively unlimited Orb generation to trigger Armor Charge and related effects is a major reason players should prioritize Atheon’s Memory during this week’s rotation.
