First Published January 19, 2023, 12:35

With the Lightfall expansion, Bungie is bringing a multitude of quality-of-life changes and fan-requested features to Destiny 2. Buildcrafting has always been an integral part of the gameplay experience, and Bungie wants to make it a priority for players going into Lightfall. 

Many factors contribute to crafting the perfect build in Destiny 2. One of those is weapons and armor mods. Bungie is completely overhauling mod customization in Lightfall, and here's everything players need to know about it. 

All Mod Customization Changes in Destiny 2 Lightfall 

In its latest TWAB, Bungie has revealed how mod customization will work in Lightfall. Firstly, a new mod customization screen is coming to the game that would let players view all their currently equipped mods and the stats they provide on the same screen. This eliminates the need for going back and forth between the different pieces of gear and tweaking their mods separately.

Come Lightfall, Bungie is also changing how new mods are unlocked and the functionalities of certain mod types. 

How to Unlock New Mods in Destiny 2 Lightfall

As of this writing, the primary way to unlock new mods is by purchasing them from Ada-1 in the Tower. Post Launchfall, all mods will be unlocked by reaching Guardian Rank 6. 
For those unaware, Bungie is adding a new rank system in Lightfall called Guardian Rank. The studio describes it as a "knowledge ladder" that will feature 11 ranks within it. More details will be revealed before the launch. 

New players will unlock armor and weapon mods as they climb to Guardian Rank 6. On the other hand, Veteran players who have spent some time in the game will start at rank 6 with all mods unlocked.
