What are Origin Traits?
- Introduced during Year 8: The Witch Queen, Origin Traits are the innate buffs that a weapon has. These traits can be divided into two traits − an Activity Trait and a Manufacturer Trait. In case a weapon has both of these traits, only one trait will be active at any given point in time
- Origin Traits serve to give weapon foundries and activity-specific weapons (such as Crucible or Nightfall Strikes) more identity that stands out from other weapons.
- This guide provides a list of all Origin Traits currently in the game as well as image examples
