With Bungie introducing weapon crafting to Destiny 2 in the upcoming The Witch Queen expansion, players have been wondering exactly how this new system is going to improve the gear grind of the series. The developer has heard this request for new information and has released an extensive breakdown into what the weapon crafting in Destiny 2 is going to look like and what players can expect from it.

This comes from Bungies weekly news blog that informs players about the goings-on behind the scenes that eventually lead to new features and activities coming to Destiny 2. The post goes into great detail about everything from the start of the quest that unlocks weapon crafting in the Enclave to building and upgrading legendary and exotic gear through in-game activities and milestones.

Destiny 2 Foundry Weapons Are Back in The Witch Queen

To start the process of building a personalized weapon, players are going to have to play the first two missions of the upcoming expansion, which won't require purchase of The Witch Queen at launch. From here, a quest and the materials will be given to the player that will walk them through the process of crafting their first weapon, while also teaching where and how to obtain these materials for future builds. The first weapon will also be a brand-new archetype for the series, the Glaive, with other weapon types being available to build as soon as the necessary materials are acquired.

Beyond building the weapon, players will then be tasked with fighting enemies and completing activities in order to level up their stats and give them new features along the chosen builds that they choose. These paths for different weapon builds can also be reshaped, keeping players from being stuck down one path
