how much damage reduction does untold greed give destiny 2

You can’t currently get a precise, datamined number for Untold Greed’s damage reduction in Destiny 2 – Bungie has not published it, and the community hasn’t cracked it yet.

Quick Scoop

  • The exact damage reduction value from Untold Greed is unknown right now.
  • Players only know that you “receive some benefit” at higher stacks (like Immense Greed), but not how many percent DR that actually is.
  • Bungie has already disabled the Untold Greed set bonus in PvP due to issues, which has limited testing and interest in pinning down the number.
  • As of late June–July 2026, most forum and Reddit discussions agree that no reliable percentage (like 10%, 20%, etc.) has been confirmed.

So if you’re trying to min‑max around it, you unfortunately have to treat it as “some extra survivability” instead of a known % like Resilience tiers or Well of Tenacity.

What the community actually knows

A recent DestinyTheGame thread asking “Anyone know what the Untold Greed damage reduction actually is?” basically concluded:

The data compendium still lacks that information, and I haven't been able to locate it elsewhere… What we do know is that at stacks of immense greed, we receive SOME benefit, but it doesn't specify the exact amount.

Key points from that discussion and similar chatter:

  • No entry for Untold Greed DR in community spreadsheets / compendiums yet.
  • No official Bungie sandbox note listing a DR percentage.
  • People feel the DR in-game, but only qualitatively (e.g., “I seem harder to kill at higher stacks”), not quantitatively.

Because the perk is part of a new dungeon armor set and has already been partially disabled, testing has been messy and low‑priority compared to more stable perks.

Bungie’s current handling of Untold Greed

Bungie’s recent approach to buggy or over‑tuned gear has been to outright disable it when they can’t safely fix it quickly.

  • Two new dungeon set bonuses, including Untold Greed , are now permanently disabled in PvP , while remaining active in PvE.
  • The focus of the set is officially described as:
    • While you have stacks of Untold Greed, Orbs of Power and elemental pickups give more energy , and Strand Tangles deal increased damage.
    • When your shields break, stacks convert into a “fountain of Orbs of Power.”

Notice that even in this official description, Bungie never mentions DR numbers – only damage and energy bonuses plus the orb burst effect.

The Reddit post you’re indirectly echoing is basically the state of the community: people want numbers; none exist yet.

How to think about it in builds (practical advice)

Since you don’t have a clean number like “10% DR at X stacks,” the best way to treat Untold Greed is:

  1. Rely on known DR sources first.
    • High Resilience (Tier 10 = ~40% DR vs most PvE damage) is still the backbone of survivability.
 * Add clear, known DR perks (e.g., Well of Tenacity, Woven Mail, etc., as available in the current sandbox).
  1. Use Untold Greed as a bonus, not a core layer.
    • Assume the DR is moderate but not build‑defining until someone publishes frame‑by‑frame testing.
 * Prioritize the **orb generation and energy economy** aspects of the set, which are explicitly described.
  1. Watch for future updates.
    • With Bungie disabling more problematic gear late in The Final Shape era, there’s a chance they either rework the set or eventually document it more clearly.
 * Keep an eye on patch notes and updated community spreadsheets (e.g., “data compendiums”) for any added entry once things stabilize.

TL;DR

Right now, no one has a trustworthy numeric answer to “how much damage reduction does Untold Greed give” in Destiny 2 – it is only known to grant some DR at higher stacks, with no confirmed % values.
