Enhanced Bow Dexterity was introduced as part of the Armor 2.0 system that launched with Shadowkeep. It was one of several enhanced armor mods that provided improved versions of standard armor perks. These enhanced mods were typically obtained through endgame activities or special sources.

The mod was deprecated as part of Bungie's efforts to streamline and improve the armor mod system. Many enhanced mods, including Enhanced Bow Dexterity, were removed to simplify the mod ecosystem and reduce redundancy in armor customization options.
