These are the different Tier levels used for our list:

• S Tier – Best: Highest ranking weapons in our Tier List.
• A Tier – Strong: Very strong weapons, but not on the same level as S Tier Choices.
• B Tier – Average: Decent choices that can be lethal in the hands of a skilled player.
• C Tier – Weak: The middle of the pack, somewhat mediocre.
• D Tier – Worst: Lagging behind the competition, these don’t have much to offer.

How to find Patterns in Destiny 2

Before being able to craft a weapon, you’ll need to unlock its Pattern first. Think of it as the weapon’s blueprint. But unlike most MMOs in which you have to find the blueprint somewhere in the wild, Patterns can be unlocked by using and attuning Deepsight Resonance weapons. Unlocking a Pattern requires you to attune 3 to 5 Deepsight versions of that same weapon. For example, if you want to craft the Smite of Merain from the King’s Fall raid, you’ll need to find five different Deepsight versions of the Smite of Merain!

Bungie has recognized that the grind required right now is too long and is already looking to improve the situation.

Crafting Materials

Crafting weapons in Destiny 2 requires specific materials. And while the system was launched with very restrictive caps and a plethora of materials, Bungie has been making several changes to streamline the process. These are all the different materials you need to craft weapons in Destiny 2 as of today:

You can view your current materials by opening your inventory and hovering over an item called “Relic Tether” (not the most elegant solution but still better than nothing!):

How to craft weapons in Destiny 2

I feel most weapon crafting guides out there are unnecessarily complicated. Weapon crafting can seem daunting at first, but once you understand the principles, the system is surprisingly straightforward. These are the simple steps required to craft weapons in Destiny 2:

1. Go to the Enclave and complete the introductory quest

This is extremely straightforward. All you’ll need to do is go to the Relic in the Enclave (located in the Throne World), get the introductory quest, and follow the different quest steps.

2. Find and use weapons with Deepsight Resonance

While playing the game, you’ll earn several guns as random drops or activity rewards. Some of those weapons will have Deepsight Resonance. These are the weapons that have a red border around them on your Character’s inventory. Some of these Deepsight weapons will also grant Pattern progress.

Deepsight weapon, Destiny 2

To “attune” a Deepsight weapon, you only need to use it to kill things and complete activities until the Attunement progress bar reaches 100%.

3. Attune Deepsight weapons to find Patterns

As you’ve probably guessed by now, finding the required Deepsight versions of the weapons you want to craft can be difficult… Luckily, there are a few methods to find guaranteed Red border weapons each week. This list comes from Reddit user Kliuqard.

These are all the guaranteed sources of Deepsight weapons per week:

• Vow of the Disciple Spoils Chest
• Vow of the Disciple Secret Chest
• Risen Weapon Focusing
• Haunted Weapon Focusing
• Weekly Opulent Chest
• Legend PsiOps Completion (nearly guaranteed).
• Weekly First Bound Presence Redemption
• Weekly Master Wellspring completion.

Also, reputation engrams have a fairly high chance of dropping a Deepsight weapon.

4. Gather materials by attuning Deepsight Resonance weapons

Almost any weapon can drop with Deepsight Resonance, even older weapons that can’t be crafted. It doesn’t matter. You’ll still want to attune every weapon you can because even if they won’t help you get patterns, they will still give you valuable crafting materials.

Bottom line: Attune every Deepsight Resonance weapon you get your hands on.

5. Craft and reshape weapons at the Relic

Once you have unlocked a few Patterns (you can track this on your Triumphs page, in the “Patterns & Catalysts” section), you can head to the Enclave and start crafting weapons.

Any weapon you have crafted can be “reshaped,” meaning you can change the perks you have previously selected.

6. Use your crafted weapons to level them up

All you need to do to level up your crafted weapon is to use it. Simply shoot things with it, and it will slowly level up! The more levels you gain, the more perks you’ll unlock. Heading to the Relic and reshaping the weapon will allow you to select new and improved perks.

Leveling your weapon is essential to get all the benefits weapon crafting has to offer:

• Level 16 will allow you to insert any Enhanced Perk you want. Enhanced perks provide an improved effect of the chosen perk.
• Level 20 provides a small stat boost to all of the weapon’s stats.
• Two Enhanced Perks and an Enhanced Intrinsic perk will give the weapon that gold ‘Masterwork’ weapon border we all love.
• There is no ‘maximum level’ for weapons in Destiny 2.

This Destiny 2 Level Weapons guide covers all the farming tips and methods to level up your weapons as fast as possible.

And there you have it. That is how you craft and reshape weapons in Destiny 2. Do you have a preferred craftable weapon already? Let us know in the comments section!
