Our Destiny 2: Mods guide covers the basics of modding in the game, along with a breakdown of everything you need to know about Legendary mods and Infusion too.In Destiny 2, mods are an incredibly important way of improving your gear and enhancing your own playstyle in both PVE and PVP. You’ll earn a wide array of mods throughout your time playing the game and it’s tough to know what to do with these valuable items.It’s when you reach the end-game that the world of modding becomes an essential part of boosting your Power Level upwards. Trouble is, Destiny 2 doesn’t explain the system at all, meaning it can be overwhelming and rather confusing when you try to figure it out for yourself. Thankfully we’ve put together an enormous guide that covers all areas of modding to ensure that you’re clued up on the process, and confident in increasing your Power Level even further.(If you want to be the best at every area of the game, don't forget to bookmark our, and guide pages - they've got everything you need if you want to get more out of Destiny 2, and will be continuously updated in the weeks ahead.)Editor's UPDATE #2: Just below our Infusion section we've linked a video walkthrough which'll help you out even further.

Mods: A Basic OverviewA Basic OutlineHere’s a very brief outline of what mods are and how they work.
We’ll go more in depth on these points in the sections down below. Mods are a consumable resource that attach to your armour and weapons, giving them bonus defensive stats and/or perks. There are two different qualities of mod: Rare (Blue) and Legendary (Purple). Rare mods are more common, while Legendaries are less abundant and more powerful. You’ll earn Rare mods randomly from loot drops and Engrams until the point you’re inventory is stuffed to the brim with them. Legendary mods cannot be earned randomly though, and the only way to get them is from Banshee-44 at the Tower. There are many different mod effects which can alter the way your chosen subclass plays, or the handling of your equipped power weapon - among many, many more.
Some Legendary weapons and armour come pre-equipped with Legendary mods. For Exotic weapons and armour, this is always the case. Really, mods only become truly important once you’ve reached the Power Level cap of around 290-305. Legendary mods are the only way of boosting your character from Power Level 300 to the cap of 305.How do I get hold of mods?You’ll earn Rare (blue) mods throughout your time playing Destiny 2.
Engrams and Chests will often grant you a mod or two. Legendary mods can be obtained from Banshee-44 at the Tower, but only when your character has reached Power Level 280.All of the mods you’ve collected will sit in your inventory, and you can hover over them to see what bonuses they’ll give.Some weapons and armour come pre-equipped with Legendary Mods.What types of mod are there?There are two main types of mod: weapon and armour.

We’ve put together a simple breakdown to remedy this and make sure you’re making the most of what Banshee has to offer. As soon as you unlock Banshee-44 you’ll be able to spend 2500 Glimmer to purchase one random Rare Mod. Banshee only starts dealing in Legendary Mods once you’ve reached Power Level 280. At 280 you can you trade in 3 of the same type of Rare Mod to Banshee. He will then convert this into 1 Legendary Mod of the same type. You can also dismantle a Legendary Mod into 1 Mod Component.

You can trade in 2 Mod Components with Banshee and he’ll give you 1 Legendary Mod in return. The key part here, is that you can choose what type of Mod this will be: Armour or Weapon. Trading in Mod Components with Banshee is the only way you can obtain the sought after +5 Kinetic Weapon Attack Mod.What are the best Legendary Mods to equip?There are a tremendous amount of Legendary Mods with all sorts of effects, so it’s very tricky to safely say, “You must have this mod”. It all comes down to your playstyle and preferences. Having said that, we can give you a little guidance into what mods to choose for both PVP and PVE scenarios.PVE modsAs you’re not needing to rely on twitch aiming, speed and finesse in Destiny 2’s PVE challenges we recommend you steer away from mobility, reload speeds and the like. Instead you’ll want to focus on upping the recharge rate of your subclass’ abilities for higher damage output, and perhaps some Resilience in there for survivability too.PVP modsWe believe PVP is where mods really shine and allow you to optimise your own playstyle. If you’re a Hunter who wants to go fast - slap a ton of movement speeds mod on.

How to farm Weapon Attack modsWeapon Attack mods slot into your Kinetic weapon and raise their Power Level by +5. In general, they're pretty hard to come by and you won't just stumble into them when playing the game - you've got to actively hunt them down. This can prove pretty frustrating for those who've modded most of their equipment to get closer to the level cap of 305 but can't seem to get hold of a mod for their Kinetic weapon to nudge it even further.To help you out, we've put together a simple walkthrough based on Youtuber DPJ's video on how he goes about getting plenty of these sought after Kinetic weapon mods. First, you'll need a tonne of Glimmer. Preferably a good 50,000 +.

Next, go into your inventory and dismantle any Legendary mods which you don't need to get a bunch of Mod Components back. Once you've dismantled them all, you'll have a pile of Mod Components which you can take over to Banshee-44. Select 'Create Weapon Mod' and Banshee could gift you with a fair few of these Weapon Attack Mods.
Doing this gives a good chance of receiving them as there's a pretty high drop rate from Banshee. After this process you might be a little thin on other mods, but not to worry! Use your pile of Glimmer to buy loads of Rare Weapon Mods back from Banshee and eventually you'll get enough to turn these duplicates back into Legendary Mods and replenish your inventory. Try to avoid spending all your Glimmer as it's quite a valuable resource and can take a little while to build back.
