Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q)

❓ What are Intrinsic Traits in Destiny Rising?

Intrinsic Traits are built-in characteristics that define how a weapon naturally performs, such as its fire rate, burst type, or special function.

❓ What are Origin Traits?

Origin Traits are tied to the weapon’s manufacturer or source, giving it unique bonuses and identity based on where it came from.

❓ What are Perks and why are they important?

Perks are randomly rolled abilities that can dramatically change a weapon’s effectiveness. The right perk combination can turn an average weapon into a powerhouse.
