While new weapons bring along new visuals and an updated feel to Destiny 2’s looter shooter gameplay, nothing can truly change things up like an abundance of new perks to utilize. With the launch of Season of the Seraph today, Bungie has added eight new perks and seven new origin traits. In this guide, we’ll list all of them and tell you exactly which guns can roll with them.
One thing to note is that these perks are largely contained within the season’s new weapons or added to existing prestige weapons. Don’t expect to see them everywhere, though they may be more widely used after future updates.
