Boosting your combat effectiveness in Destiny: Rising requires augmenting your arsenal. Weapons can be augmented through a process termed “Modification”—here’s a breakdown of the necessary steps and resources.
Enhancing Armaments in Destiny: Rising

Follow this procedure to modify armaments and amplify their capabilities:
- Access your Gear panel via the Spectral interface’s top-right icon and select the armament for modification.
- Alternatively, inspect your profile screen for green progression indicators on equipment. These denote upgradeable items.
- Select the enhancement option displayed on-screen or the central activation button labeled “Augment.”
- Expend appropriate Modification Crystals (categorized by weapon class) alongside in-game currency to complete upgrades. For instance, Burst-type crystals modify automatic rifles and pulse weapons.
- Modifying one armament automatically upgrades duplicate versions across your inventory, synchronizing their performance enhancements.
Post-modification, a summary displays stat improvements including combat rating, impact strength, and sustained damage output. While efficient for rapid progression, monitor your crystal reserves as these resources require dedicated acquisition efforts.
