Editing Intrinsic trait

'''Intrinsic traits''', also simply called '''intrinsics''', are special perks always found on a given weapon that defines its basic behavior in ''[[Destiny 2]]''.

==Overview==
An intrinsic trait is, as the name suggests, an inherent part of a weapon and cannot be swapped out. Different intrinsic traits define the archetype of a weapon, which includes base impact and rate of fire, and are useful in determining what weapon is best for a given playstyle at a glance.

==List of intrinsic traits==

*[[Submachine Gun]]s
*[[Fusion Rifle]]s
*[[Sniper Rifle]]s
*[[Trace Rifle]]s
*Heavy [[Grenade Launcher]]s
*[[Rocket Launcher]]s
*[[Machine Gun]]s
*[[Glaive]]s
|| A well-rounded grip, reliable and sturdy.

Aggressive Frame<br>
[[File:Aggressive Frame Icon.png|72px|class=blackbg]]
|| 
*[[Hand Cannon]]s
*[[Scout Rifle]]s
*[[Shotgun]]s
*[[Sniper Rifle]]s
*[[Fusion Rifle]]s
*[[Rocket Launcher]]s
*[[Glaive]]s
*[[Machine Gun]]s
|| High damage, high recoil.
|| With the exception of shotguns and sniper rifles, which have lowered fire rates, Aggressive Frame weapons have an increased rate of fire. Fusion rifles fire their bursts all at once in a horizontal line.

High-Impact Frame<br>
[[File:High-Impact Frame Icon.png|72px|class=blackbg]]
|| 
*[[Auto Rifle]]s
*[[Scout Rifle]]s
*[[Pulse Rifle]]s
*[[Fusion Rifle]]s
*[[Rocket Launcher]]s
*[[Machine Gun]]s
|| Slow-firing and high-damage. This weapon is more accurate when stationary and aiming down sights.

High-Impact Frame weapons universally have a slower rate of fire than other weapons, made up for with their higher damage. They tend to also have one of the longest ranges in class.

*[[Sidearm]]s
*[[Shotgun]]s
*Special [[Grenade Launcher]]s
