What is Volume?

Volume is a new stat introduced in Destiny 2 Beyond Light that affects how easily your character is detected by enemies.

How it Works:

– Higher Volume means enemies can detect you from farther away and more easily.

– Lower Volume means enemies have a harder time detecting you and you need to be closer for them to notice you.

– Volume only affects detection by AI-controlled enemies, not other players.

– Only certain armor pieces and mods affect your Volume.

Volume Affecting Armor:

– Helmets – Have an intrinsic Volume stat that can be low, medium or high.

– Cloaks (Hunters) – Have an intrinsic Volume stat.

– Chest Armor – Can have mods socketed that lower your Volume.

Volume Mods:

– Dexterity Mods – Lower your Volume when that ability is equipped.

– Strength Mods – Lower your Volume when that ability is equipped.

– Special Finisher Mods – Lower Volume after performing a finisher.

– “Invocation” Mods – Lower Volume in various ways.

Tips:

– Pair low Volume armor with Volume lowering mods for maximum stealth potential.

– Consider using Suppressor mods on your weapons to further minimize detection.

– Crouching, walking slowly and not sprinting will further help stay undetected.

– Volume mainly benefits stealth and “hit & run” playstyles.
