Since the introduction of weapon crafting in The Witch Queen, some of Destiny 2’s best perks have been tied to the system. That seems set to change when The Final Shape launches on June 4. According to Bungie, when it drops, weapons added in Update 7.3.5 will be “retroactively enhanceable.”
The announcement came via today’s This Week in Destiny blog, where the developers recognized that Destiny 2 players “want more access” to enhanced versions of perks. The Weapons team remained coy about the full extent of the changes coming to the weapon sandbox in The Final Shape, but they did reveal the new and reprised guns in activities like the Prophecy dungeon are the first non-craftable drops to (eventually) receive enhanced perks.
