In this part of the video, the speaker discusses how to obtain legendary engrams from the Crucible, Vanguard, and Gambit playlists. The more you play, the more engrams drop. They also explain how to get weapon mods: either by checking with Banshee the Gunsmith during Destiny 2 reset days or by ranking up Gunsmith packages. Bungie has a knockout system that prevents repetitive mod drops. Adept versions of mods can be obtained through Grandmaster Nightfall Strikes or flawless Trials of Osiris runs.

Next, the focus shifts to armor mods, detailing their types and acquisition methods. Basic armor mods, found on helmets, arms, chest, and legs, can be obtained from Gunsmith packages, vendor rank-up packages, or legendary engrams. Class item mods, which affect ability recharge rates and finishers, are similar but with one special finisher mod obtainable only from Ada-1 in the Tower. General mods affect armor stats like resilience and mobility and can also be obtained through legendary engrams and rank-up packages, although they require drops to get the full benefits. The speaker advises playing consistently to acquire these mods.

The speaker emphasizes the power and utility of these mods, especially for player-versus-player (PvP) engagements, highlighting the “Powerful Friends” and “High Energy Fire” mods for their significant benefits to mobility and damage, respectively. Additionally, the speaker notes that some legacy and raid-specific mods can be acquired from raid drops, providing advantages in raid mechanics. For player-versus-environment (PvE) content, specific mods such as “Well of Tenacity” are recommended for void warlocks when running Void 3.0.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains key game mechanics in Destiny 2, specifically focusing on mods and their functions. The “Font of Might” mod grants players a temporary bonus to weapon damage when collecting elemental wells of the same type, while another mod reduces incoming damage. This combination can significantly enhance a player’s abilities. The speaker advises viewers to seek out these mods from 801 to create powerful builds. Seasonal mods also become available as players progress, often at a lower cost than permanent mods.
