Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate provides players with many opportunities to build deeper into their weapons, regardless of the tiered loot or if it's crafted. This is all thanks to weapon mods, something that's been in Destiny 2 for 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 in Destiny 2, players might just find something that will make their favorite weapon hit even harder than ever before.
Destiny 2: Best Armor Mods for Edge of Fate
For PvE players in Destiny 2, focusing on these Armor Mods for every piece of gear will allow them to conquer endgame activities with ease.
1 Backup Mag
Increases Magazine Size
- In-Game Description: Increases magazine.
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 and Rocket 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.
2 Synergy
Reward Final Blows with Elemental Pickups or Orbs of Power
- In-Game Description: Final blows with this weapon have a chance to create an elemental pickup matching its damage type, or an Orb of Power for weapons that deal Kinetic damage.
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.
3 Abundant Ammo
Provides Greater Ammo Generation
- In-Game Description: Grants slightly increased ammo generation.
The ammo economy has forever changed, and no longer will players have to rely purely on RNG in order 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.
Destiny 2: All Exotic Changes in Edge of Fate
Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate has arrived, along with some unique changes to fan-favorite Exotic weapons and armor.
4 Quick Access Sling
Increases Ready and Stow Speed Times
- In-Game Description: Increases this weapon's ready and stow speed.
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 works great for Rocket Launchers, Grenade Launchers, and Linear Fusion Rifles so that players have quicker access to their high-damage weapons during boss phases.
5 Bandolier
Allows for Superior Ammo Generation and Magazine Size
- In-Game Description: Grants slightly increased 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.
Destiny 2: Most Important PvE Stats (Edge of Fate)
Armor 3.0 changes what stats do in Destiny 2, so here are the most important stats to invest in when it comes to PvE endgame content.
6 Icarus Grip
Provides Greater Airborne Effectiveness
- In-Game Description: Moderately increases 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 for players 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.
7 Tactical
Reload Speed and Handling Stats Improve
- In-Game Description: Grants increased reload speed and handling.
The Tactical mod provides players with 6 points in Handling and 6 points in Reload Speed. It's not the biggest 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.
8 Stunloader
Refill Weapon Magazine by Stunning Champions
- In-Game Description: Stunning a Champion partially refills this weapon from reserves.
Champions are going to be a grand threat to players once they reach Master-tier activities in the Portal, as they refuse to go down without a fight. Champions will require players to use certain weapons and abilities in order 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.
