History of Gauntlets

Overview

Gauntlets are the hand armor slot worn by Hunter, Titan and Warlock Guardians, one of the five armor slots in Destiny 2 alongside helmet, chest, legs and class item. Both Legendary sets and Exotic gauntlets exist, such as Claws of Ahamkara and Sunbracers, and many Exotic armor perks sit in this slot. Wikipedia notes the helmet, gauntlets, chest, legs and class item slots remained unchanged from the first game.
