Destiny 2: The Edge of Fateprovides players with many opportunities to build deeper into their weapons, regardless of thetiered lootor if it’s crafted. This is all thanks to weapon mods, something that’s been inDestiny 2for years, but also something that most players might unknowingly ignore. Weapon mods are perfect for players who just want to add a little bit of extra kick to their weapons, and with the best weapon mods inDestiny 2, players might just find something that will make their favorite weapon hit even harder than ever before.
1Backup Mag
Increases Magazine Size
A whopping 30 points to the Ammo Capacity stat rewards players with a plethora of ammunition for their gun, ensuring that they can hold more bullets in a single magazine. For Rocket Sidearms andRocket Pulse Rifles, this is a great choice, allowing players to fire more rounds before reloading. Backup Mag works with every gun, allowing players, regardless of weapon choice, to enjoy more ammo than they know what to do with.
2Synergy
Reward Final Blows with Elemental Pickups or Orbs of Power
Elemental pickups are great for players using all forms of subclasses, allowing further synergy with their builds depending on the weapon type and the class type. Whether it’s obtaining Devour with Void or Firesprites with Solar, there’s so much benefit from the Snyergy mod, and players using Kinetic damage can get Orbs of Power, which is always a must for the best builds.
3Abundant Ammo
Provides Greater Ammo Generation
Theammo economy has forever changed, and no longer will players have to rely purely on RNG to get Special Ammo and Heavy Ammo. Instead, there’s ammo generation, which rewards players with ammo bricks based on damage and final blows. With Abundant Ammo, players will be generating ammo faster than normal with an extra 12 points to the stat that often lacks for most weapons.
4Quick Access Sling
Increases Ready and Stow Speed Times
While more ammo is always welcome, Quick Access Sling provides something that most heavy weapons lack, which is a faster draw time. With Quick Access Sling, the animation of pulling a weapon from its holster is reduced by 10%, which worksgreat for Rocket Launchers, Grenade Launchers, and Linear Fusion Rifles so that players have quicker access to their high-damage weapons during boss phases.
5Bandolier
Allows for Superior Ammo Generation and Magazine Size
If players don’t want to just focus on ammo generation or magazine size, then they can focus on both at the same time with Bandolier. This weapon mod has a reduced bonus for ammo generation and magazine size compared to the Abundant Ammo and Backup Ammo mods, but it’s a nice mix of both.
6Icarus Grip
Provides Greater Airborne Effectiveness
A free 15 points for Airborne Effectiveness comes with Icarus Grip, which will allow players to use their weapons in the air with ease. This is great forplayers in the Crucible, or just anyone who likes Shotguns, because they can stay above and aim for the head before enemies can even look up. Other weapons, like Pulse Rifles, can really benefit from the Icarus Grip when one uses it to stay in the air for accuracy.
7Tactical
The Tactical mod provides players with 6 points in Handling and 6 points in Reload Speed. It’s not thebiggest boost in stats, but it does help with weapons that are hard to handle and even slower to reload. These passive points will definitely help players who are using a slower set of weapons, but there are other options that might help the weapon further.
8Stunloader
Refill Weapon Magazine by Stunning Champions
Champions are going to be a grand threat to players once theyreach Master-tier activitiesin the Portal, as they refuse to go down without a fight. Champions will require players to use certain weapons and abilities to stun them, thus allowing players to unload firepower into them for appropriate damage. Since some weapons this season, like Pulse Rifles, deal with Barrier champions, it might be a good idea to throw a Stunloader on, so as to continuously fire the Pulse Rifle without delay.
