In Destiny 2, one of the most frustrating things for solo players is to get High-stats armor. Before the witch queen expansion, it was quite easy to get your hands on high stats armor by focusing umbral engrams in the H.E.L.M. But now that is not possible as the prismatic recaster has been removed from the game.
But still, there are a few ways by following which you can get your hands on such armor if you are a solo player. So, here we will break down all the ways by following which you can get high stats armor in destiny 2 solo.
How To Get Solo High Stats Armor Destiny 2
Though the ways to earn high stats armor might have been removed from the game with the witch queen expansion but new sources have been added to the game as well and the list of how to get them has been provided below. But before we get down to that what do you mean by high stats armor?
High Stats armor refers to any drop that has a stats total of 65+, though for most people 60+ is the benchmark but these days you can get 60+ with ease just by doing random activities in the game. Any armor that has a stat roll of 65 and above can be considered as high stats armor. 69+ is the highest armor stat that is said to be the highest achievable, if you have acquired more than that do share it below in the comment section!
Coming back to how to get high stats armor in destiny 2, take a look at the sources below.
Empire Hunts (Hero)
Empire hunts are a great way to get some high-stats Crystocrene armor. This activity has matchmaking and can be done solo with ease. Though the armor drop is rare but you can repeat it as many as you want because it doesn’t take much of your time as you can just ignore the champions and kill the bosses necessary to complete it.

But to get high stats armor drop from the first Empire hunt each week you need to unlock and complete the European Gear III upgrade in the Sabotage quest available with Variks.
Prime Engrams
Though prime engrams don’t guarantee armor drops but they have a 50-50 chance of dropping one and you can get prime engrams from any activities in the game. After acquiring them you can focus them at Master Rahool in the tower.

Saint-14
Saint-14 is the Trials of Osiris vendor in destiny 2 and he has had a massive revamp to his reward system and is just like the other vendors in the tower. Saint-14 is available only on the weekends when Xur comes to Destiny 2 world but Trials Of Osiris is unavailable when Iron Banner is active.
Saint-14 can also provide you with high starts armor as according to a lot of players the armor drops generally have high stats. You can focus trials engrams to get armor but it’s damn costly and will east through your legendary shards like a whale.
