Deepsight Activation is a feature introduced in Destiny 2 Season 21 that allows players to select specific weapons to create and unlock specific memories. This immediately interested me and made me think about how this will affect the current weapon meta and what is needed to obtain it. This guide will give you all the knowledge about how weapon crafting works in Destiny 2, as well as how to activate Deepsight.
How to unlock Deepsight and start crafting weapons in Destiny 2
In order to unlock Deepsight and start crafting weapons in Destiny 2, you must complete the first few missions of The Witch Queen campaign in Throne World Savatún. This ability will become available through a new mod slot on the weapon details screen for weapons eligible for modding. It will also allow you to see and interact with hidden objects, including weapon memories.

Once you unlock Deepsight, all weapons with Resonant Red Borders will awaken their hidden functions and become available immediately. Farming for this weapon is challenging because it has rare drop chances. You can spend 1200 Silver on the Season of the Deep Season Pass, which will earn you the Deepsight Harmonizer. This is an item that, when applied to a certain weapon, turns it into a red border, saving you time on farming it.
Performing Deepsight Activation and Weapon Formation in Destiny 2
When hovering over a weapon that is eligible for Deepsight, a message will appear in Destiny 2: “Deepsight activation is available for this weapon.” By activating Deepsight, you will extract its Pattern progress, which is necessary for shaping the weapon. You can shape the weapon at the Relic in the Enclave, accessible from the Throne World destination in the directory. Here are the steps to follow to shape the weapon:
- Select inner frame
- Choose a barrel perk
- Choose a magazine bonus
- Choose two traits
- Optional: Select Momentos
As you progress through the weapon levels, you will unlock more components. After following the steps above, press and hold the “Form” button to complete the creation of the weapon.
Resonant materials and their role in weapon crafting in Destiny 2
During your normal activities in Destiny 2, you will encounter resonant elements and materials that you will need to shape your weapons. There are four types:
- Ascendant Alloys: You need these precious alloys to install traits on weapons. You can find them by completing the Witch Queen and Throne World Offensive weekly campaign missions.
- Resonance Alloys: These alloys are used to insert the inner frame and you can get them by completing quests and dismantling weapons.
- Harmonic Alloys: You must get these Alloys to Shape Traits modifiers, which are exclusive to raiding crafted raid weapons. You can only get them by dismantling the Vow of the Disciple raid weapon.
- Souvenirs: Optional for Formation, they provide you with customization options to add to your weapon and customize it to your liking.
