In ''[[Destiny 2]]'', the weapon system is revamped, dividing weapons into the following categories: Power weapons, kinetic weapons, and energy weapons, which allow for increased player preference in regards to their arsenal layout. Weapon upgrades and progression were removed, instead opting for a simpler system where each weapon is assigned unchangeable perks when first acquired, with the potential option of a different perk of the same type that can be swapped between on the fly. Weapons that are Legendary quality can have randomized perks, and select Exotic weapons such as [[Hawkmoon]] and [[Dead Man's Tale]] can also have randomized perks upon repeat drops.

{{Main}}[[Weapon Crafting]]
Coming in ''[[The Witch Queen]]'' is a weapon crafting system, which will allow players to fully control the attributes of weapons. On launch, it will only be possible to craft weapons from the new Destination, Raid, and season, but more will be added over time.<ref name="2021Showcase">[https://youtu.be/ktTfzug0Qbc?t=4765 '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 Showcase 2021 - Livestream'']</ref><ref name="WitchQueenSite">[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Destiny/WitchQueen '''Bungie.net''' - ''WITCH QUEEN'']</ref>
Weapon Crafting, referred to in-universe as Shaping, is a new feature introduced in ''[[The Witch Queen]]'' that allows players to control the attributes of a weapon to a greater degree than previously possible.<ref name="2021Showcase">[https://youtu.be/ktTfzug0Qbc?t=4765 '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny 2 Showcase 2021 - Livestream'']</ref><ref name="WitchQueenSite">[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Destiny/WitchQueen '''Bungie.net''' - ''WITCH QUEEN'']</ref> Crafted weapons can be levelled by using them, allowing them to be customized further. It is done at [[Relic (Mars)|the Relic]] at [[the Enclave]], accessed through [[Savathûn's Throne World]] in the [[Director]], and is unlocked after completing [[The Arrival]]. Only select weapons can be crafted, and their Patterns must be unlocked beforehand, either by quest progress or attuning craftable weapons that drop with Deepsight Resonance.

==Weapon Types (Destiny 2)==
The weapons system for [[Guardian]]s is different: instead of primary, special, and heavy weapons, there are kinetic, energy, and power weapons respectively. As of ''Forsaken'', the weapons system was reworked, with shotguns, sniper rifles, fusion rifles, single-shot grenade launchers, and trace rifles moving to kinetic and energy weapons slots and using Special ammo, with the exceptions of [[Legend of Acrius]], [[Tractor Cannon]], [[D.A.R.C.I.]], [[Whisper of the Worm]], and [[One Thousand Voices]]. Some later Exotic weapons also appear outside their usual category, such as [[Leviathan's Breath]].

Kinetic and energy weapons are the same types of weapons, but the differentiation is weapons in energy slot have a Light element like [[Arc]], [[Solar]], and [[Void]] while weapons in the kinetic slot can deal generic Kinetic damage or have a Darkness element such as [[Stasis]] and [[Strand]], but this simply allows perks based on that element to appear on the weapon.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/50572 '''This Week At Bungie''' - ''8/19/2021'']</ref> The concept of primary and special weapons is retained from ''Destiny'', though players can opt to carry any combination of the two in their kinetic and energy slots. As of ''[[Season of the Lost]]'', primary weapons have infinite ammo.
