Destiny 2 features various crucial currencies to manage, and among the remaining ones, Upgrade Modules stand out as particularly significant.
Guardians rely on Upgrade Modules to enhance the power level of their existing gear. If your beloved Exotic lags behind at 1,700 while you’ve acquired a matching piece at 1,830, you can elevate your old Exotic to match the newer item’s power level—at the expense of the new item itself.
Here’s how you can acquire Upgrade Modules in Destiny 2.
How to collect Upgrade Modules in Destiny 2
Upgrade Modules are obtainable from Ada-1 or Banshee-44 at the Tower in Destiny 2. Each Upgrade Module requires one Enhancement Core, 10 Legendary Shards, and 5,000 Glimmer.
Additionally, you can earn Upgrade Modules as seasonal rewards for participating in ritual activities such as Vanguard (Zavala), Crucible (Shaxx), Gunsmith (Banshee), and Gambit (Drifter) activities. They are also included in the season pass, with most accessible to all players without purchasing the full pass.
For those in need of more Upgrade Modules, equipping the Modularity Ghost Mod on your Ghost provides a chance to receive Upgrade Modules upon completing a ritual activity. Personally, I find the complimentary Modules from the battle pass and vendors to be sufficient, and purchasing an extra one or two from Banshee or Ada isn’t overly costly.
But there’s a catch!
Note: You can only stockpile up to 25 Upgrade Modules at once! If you’ve amassed plenty, utilize them to upgrade older equipment to avoid losing any excess at the end of a season.
To utilize Upgrade Modules in Destiny 2, select the weapon or armor you wish to upgrade, hover over Infuse, and then choose the item with a higher power level. This process requires one Upgrade Module for infusion, resulting in the destruction of the existing item.
