How to enhance weapons in Destiny 2 The Final Shape

Enhancing weapons is a new feature that Bungie introduced alongside Destiny 2 The Final Shape DLC, so here’s how you can use it in the game.

With the launch of Destiny 2 The Final Shape, Bungie introduced a new feature that will allow you to enhance perks on some of your non-crafted weapons.

In the new expansion, you can enhance the perks on some non-craftable weapons that are available in the game. Check out how to enhance weapons in Destiny 2 The Final Shape.

How to enhance weapon perks in Destiny 2

The weapon you want to enhance in Destiny 2 The Final Shape needs to have an empty enhancement socket. If a weapon does not possess this, you won’t be able to enhance the perks on it.

Here’s how to enhance your weapon in Destiny 2:

1. Open the weapon loadout page and press and hold the “Fire” button on the “Weapon Enhancement Socket.”
2. To unlock Tier 1 enhancement, you will need to spend 7,500 Glimmer and 20 Enhancement Cores.
3. Once you’ve done that, this “Weapon Enhancement Socket” will transform into “Weapon Level Boost Socket.”
4. From here onwards, there are two methods that you can follow:
   • You can either spend Enhancement Cores and Glimmer to increase your weapon level.
   • Alternatively, you can go out in the world and start killing enemies to level your weapon up.
5. After you’ve reached a minimum of Level 11, you will be able to unlock Tier 2 enhancement for your weapon. This will cost you 15,000 Glimmer, 1 Ascendant Alloy, and 3 Enhancement Prisms.
6. The Tier 2 Enhancement will convert your first Weapon Trait into its enhanced version.
7. To convert the second Weapon Trait into its enhanced version, you will have to complete the Tier 3 Enhancement.
8. To do so, you will have to level your weapon to Level 17, through the two methods mentioned above. Once you’re at that level, you’ll have to spend 15,000 Glimmer, 1 Ascendant Alloy, and 3 Enhancement Prisms to complete the Tier 3 enhancement.

What weapons can you enhance in Destiny 2 The Final Shape?

If a weapon does not have an Origin Trait, you won’t be able to enhance it in Destiny 2 The Final Shape. So, weapons that drop from activities other than the ones mentioned below cannot be enhanced at this point in time:

• Vow of the Disciple
• Guardian Games
• King’s Fall
• Gambit
• Competitive Crucible
• Trials of Osiris
• Crucible
• Iron Banner

More activities will be added to this list in the upcoming days. It’s also worth noting that you will be able to enhance Adept weapons from Raids as well. Once you’ve enhanced the two perks, you will be able to change their Masterwork, Barrel, and Magazine at the Relic on Mars.
