Traits are perks that provide extra functionality to weapons and armor.

Weapon Traits

Weapon Traits are perks that give a weapon extra power or utility by changing its behavior. This power usually comes at a cost, usually in the form of an activation trigger condition, or in some cases, a penalty to other stats or utilities.

The number of weapon traits that are a weapon differ by rarity. Rare Weapons get one trait while Legendary and Exotic weapons get two traits. Basic and Uncommon weapons do not have traits. Weapon traits for legendary weapons are random rolled. The random rolls for these traits are unbiased and picked from a set pool of possible traits.[1]

Enhanced Traits

Enhanced Traits are enhanced versions of traits. They can only appear on weapons created through Weapon Shaping. The enhanced version of a trait will usually improve something about its effect, such as its duration.

Crafting an Enhanced Trait usually requires 1 Ascendant Alloy icon.jpg Ascendant Alloy and 2,000 Neutral Element icon.jpg Resonant Elements.

Origin Traits

Origin Traits are a type of trait added in the Season of the Risen. They make up the fifth perk column, providing bonuses similarly to Weapon Traits. They are assigned to weapons based on their origin. This origin can be tied to the activity the weapon was obtained from, a set that it belongs to, or the Foundry that manufactured it. A weapon can have more than one origin trait if it falls into multiple categories. For example, Herod-c icon1.jpg Herod-C is a Häkke-manufactured weapon that originally dropped only from Gambit. It has both Hakke breach armaments icon1.png Hakke Breach Armaments and Invader tracker icon1.png Gun and Run as origin traits, and can toggle between them. All Legendary weapons added to the game during and after the launch of The Witch Queen have an origin trait. Older weapons do not have origin traits retroactively applied to them.

Armor Traits

Armor 1.0

Non-Exotic Armor Traits are deprecated. These traits provided extra stats and functionality. These have been mostly replaced with the Armor Mods system.
