Destiny 2’s Deep Stone Crypt raid weapons will soon be craftable with new perks

Destiny 2 developer Bungie has announced in its latest This Week at Bungie developer blog that when Season 19 goes live on December 6, 2022, the weapons Deep Stone Crypt raid will be made craftable. Additionally, all of the weapons will feature a revamped perk pool, giving players the opportunity to grind for fresh god rolls. 

Similar to how crafting works for raid weapons from Vow of the Disciple and King’s Fall, players will have a chance to earn Deepsight “red border” weapons from each encounter during their first clear of the raid each week. Additionally, players will also be able to purchase a Deepsight weapon of their choosing from the chest at the end of the raid using Spoils of Conquest once per week. Once players earn five Deepsight versions of a particular raid weapon and either complete each one’s Resonance by killing enemies or simply dismantle them, they’ll unlock its pattern and will be able to craft the weapon with the god roll they want with the Relic at The Enclave.

Notably, whenever Deep Stone Crypt is the weekly featured raid, players will be able to complete each encounter as many times as they want for weapon drops. All of these extra weapons will have a chance to drop as red borders, so playing the raid while it’s featured will be an effective way for players to grind for patterns.

In terms of the new perks on offer, Bungie Senior Design Lead Chris Proctor said that Bungie’s goal is to “keep the most beloved combinations and drop the rest to make room for new perks.” With that in mind, players can expect raid-specific perks like Reconstruction, Recombination, and Redirection to remain available, with new ones like Incandescent, Voltshot, and Focused Fury spicing things up. Some possible perk combinations will include the following:

• Heritage (Slug Shotgun): Reconstruction/Focused Fury  
• Posterity (Hand Cannon): Voltshot/Rampage  
• Trustee (Scout Rifle): Rapid Hit/Incandescent
