Loadouts

DIM allows you to build, save, and apply collections of equipped and unequipped items, mods, and subclass configuration in a Loadouts. You can quickly create a loadout from the Loadouts tab or the Character Header. For advanced armor loadouts, visit the Loadout Optimizer page. DIM will automatically analyze your loadouts for problems and possible improvements.

Loadouts are saved per-class, not per-character, so your Titan loadouts apply to all your Titans, and if you delete a character your loadouts won't be lost.

Difference between DIM loadouts and in-game loadouts

In Lightfall, Bungie added in-game loadouts which are quick and easy to create and apply. However, DIM loadouts have additional capabilities:

• You can have as many DIM loadouts as you want, instead of being limited to 10.
• DIM Loadouts can have freeform names and descriptions, including Destiny Icons and #hashtags that help you find your loadout. In-game loadouts are limited to a preset list of names.
• DIM Loadouts can be partial - you can specify only weapons, or only armor, or only fashion, or only mods, or any combination thereof. When you apply them, unspecified items will stay equipped (or in the case of mods/fashion, the mods will apply to your current armor). In-game loadouts are all or nothing.
• When you reshape a weapon, they are lost from any in-game loadouts. DIM remembers the item even after it's reshaped.
• When you delete a weapon, DIM remembers enough to show you what was there.
• DIM Loadouts can pull items from other characters, while in-game loadouts only pull from the vault. Also, if you don't have enough space to equip a loadout, DIM will move other items away, while in-game loadouts will just fail.
• DIM Loadouts can include unequipped items as well as equipped items, so you can bring along several alternate items to use.
• DIM Loadouts store mods separately from armor, and remember your Loadout Optimizer settings, so it's easy to take an old loadout and choose new armor for it by going back to the Optimizer, without having to re-choose your mods or fashion.
• DIM Loadouts will keep track of what mods you wanted even if you re-spec the Artifact and no longer have access to reduced-cost versions of mods.
• DIM Loadouts can include a Sparrow, Ship, Emblem, and Ghost.
• DIM Loadouts can be set to be class-independent, so you use a single loadout (e.g. for weapons or mods) across all characters.
• DIM Loadouts can be shared with other users via a link.

You can use in-game loadouts and DIM loadouts together! DIM will show in-game loadouts and let you equip them, though it cannot equip them during activities like you can in-game. You can use DIM to:

• Equip a DIM loadout and then snapshot it to an in-game loadout.
• Create a DIM Loadout directly from an in-game loadout.
• Edit an in-game loadout's name and icon.
• Make room for in-game loadout's items and move them so the in-game loadout will apply correctly.

In the future we will also have:

• Automatic copying of a DIM loadout to an in-game loadout (logged out or in orbit only).

Note The Bungie.net API does not provide any way to reset the seasonal artifact or unlock mods in it, so we won't be able to add them to loadouts.

Loadouts Page

Go to the Loadouts page from the header or menu, and you'll see all your loadouts, as well as what your current loadout is. You can save your current loadout right away, or start from a blank loadout.

Loadout Drawer

Loadouts by default will be specific to the character class you've opened the panel with. They also be generic to "any class" (useful for weapon-only or mod loadouts).

• Drag items into the panel from inventory (or other loadouts on the Loadouts page), or click the buttons for each slot to choose items.
• Items can be equipped or just added as an inventory item. Double click an item to toggle between equipped or unequipped.
• "Move other items away" will clear your inventory from all items that are not part of the loadout (similar to the Farming Mode feature.)
• The + Fill in using equipped button will add all items that are currently equipped to the character you opened the panel from.
• Use the Optimize Armor button to launch the Loadout Optimizer to edit armor. To save the armor choices, hit "Compare" in the Loadout Optimizer and save.

Mods and Fashion in Loadouts

In the Bungie 30th Anniversary DLC patch, 3rd party apps were given the ability to change mods on armor, and perks on weapons. Read more about Mods in Loadouts.

Quick Loadout tool (Inventory)

Creating a new Loadout

• Click the Character Header you want to create a loadout for.
• Press + Create Loadout for a new blank loadout.
• Drag items from your inventory to add them to the loadout. Or, click the buttons in each slot to bring up a sheet that lets you search for and choose an item.
• Name the loadout in the panel, add items, and save.

Organizing Loadouts

Loadouts can be sorted either by the last time they were edited, or by their name. You can give your loadouts expressive names - including with Destiny symbols by clicking the shield icon on the name input, or typing : to get the symbol autocomplete.

If you add hashtags (strings starting with # to your loadout name or description, DIM will show quick filter pills for finding all the loadouts that match a hashtag:
