Destiny 2 Mods Explanation Guide

You can get mods from these sources.

  • Bright Engrams
  • Purchasing Random Mod packs from Banshee-44 (2500 Glimmer)
  • Trading Rare (blue) Mods for Legendary Mods (from Power level 280 onwards)
  • Gunsmith Faction rewards from Banshee-44
  • Comes installed into certain gear by default (including all Exotics)

Install mods the same way as infusing. Mods are one-time use items only so if you use a new mod, it will overwrite and delete the old one.

Mods are useful to add Power Level to Legendary Gears. When you reach Power Level 280 and can acquire Legendary Gear easily, mods become very useful. Trade your regular Rare mods with Banshee-44 to acquire legendary mods. When infusing, mods are also taken into consideration but only on the gear you are infusing to.

Hence, its worth to keep as much Legendary Gear with mods as possible. This is a part of the endgame grind to reach the maximum possible level cap.
