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 was too long and has steadily improved the situation. In the meantime, we cover every single source of Deepsight weapons here.

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 keeps making changes to streamline the process. Last season, there were three different materials needed to craft weapons in Destiny 2 (Harmonic Alloy, Resonant Alloy, and Ascendant Alloy). This Season, Bungie has started to phase out Resonant and Harmonic Alloys. These currencies can’t be obtained anymore and will eventually be entirely removed.

Ascendant Alloys will remain in the game, however, and will be required when crafting weapons with Enhanced Perks.

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.

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. We cover all the guaranteed sources of Deepsight weapons here.

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

4. 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.

PS: You can now spend Glimmer to level up your weapon. This is particularly useful for Special and Heavy weapons, for which you’ll want to unlock passable traits as soon as possible…

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.
