Update 05/24/2022: Crafting with the Resonant Elements didn’t precisely work out as expected. Toward the start of Season of the Haunted, Bungie eliminated all past Resonant Elements from Destiny 2. Presently Resonant Elements comprise completely of the previous Neutral Element.
With weapon creating having come to Destiny 2 in The Witch Queen development, there’s a ton of new data for players to take in. One significant part of creating and reshaping weapons is the different Resonant Elements.
Full Elements come in five unique flavors, with each influencing various pieces of the making experience. All can be gotten by finishing Deepsight Resonance bounties, with the exception of the Drowned Elements, which come from Raid-Exclusive Deepsight Resonance bounties. An extra source would be finishing the “attunement” for every “red” weapon that drops.
Resonant Elements
- Ruinous Elements – Damage related, Enhanced Traits, and Exotic Weapon Crafting
- Adroit Elements – Weapon-performance related, specific Enhanced Traits, and Exotic Weapon Crafting
- Mutable Elements – Ability-boosting related, Enhanced Traits, and Exotic Weapon Crafting
- Energetic Elements – Ammo or Reload related, Enhanced Traits, and Exotic Weapon Crafting
- Drowned Elements – Raid-based Enhanced Traits and Exotic Weapon Crafting
With Resonant Elements expected for making Trait Perks, securing them will be significant for making the absolute best “rolls” for every weapon. Players ought to make a move to secure them, particularly as new weapons are added to the creating pool.
