How Does the Relic Work Destiny 2?
The Relic in Destiny 2 is a powerful tool that allows players to shape and reshape their weapons, giving them a high degree of customization and control over their arsenal. By using the Relic, players can craft new weapons and modify existing ones, using Resonant Materials, Resonant Alloys, and Glimmer to create unique and powerful weapons.
Understanding the Relic
To use the Relic, players must first access the Enclave, a special area located in the Throne World destination, and interact with the Relic Conduit. From there, they can choose to shape a new weapon or reshape an existing one, using a variety of Weapon Patterns and components to create their desired weapon.
Shaping and Reshaping Weapons
Shaping a weapon requires a Weapon Pattern, which serves as a blueprint for the weapon, as well as various Resonant Materials, Resonant Alloys, and Glimmer. The base cost to shape a weapon is 5 Resonant Alloys, and players can choose from a variety of components and perks to customize their weapon.
