Deep Engram Decoding
Open your Deep Engrams or convert them into your choice of gear using focused decoding.
Deep Engrams are stored on the Sonar Station's vendor screen, rather than in the player's engram inventory. They can be obtained by ranking up with the Sonar Station, or as drops from Salvage, Deep Dives, and other activities. The Engram Tracker item, obtained from the War Table, allows the player to keep track of their total Deep Engrams without needing to visit the vendor.
Deep Engrams can be decrypted into random Seasonal gear by selecting them on either the Solar Station vendor screen or the Deep Engram Decoding sub-menu.
Focused Decoding
- Deep Engram — 1 Deep Engram.
- Note: This option is the same as decrypting an engram from the main vendor screen.

The Deep Weapon Focusing upgrade is required to focus Deep Engrams into Seasonal weapons. A weapon must be unlocked in Collections to focus it.
These weapons have Patterns and can be crafted. If the Deepsight Salvaging upgrade is unlocked, the first weapon purchased in a given week will have Deepsight Resonance. The weapon icons will have red borders to indicate this.
