==Weapons by Category==

In Destiny Weapons are divided into 3 types: [[#Primary Weapons|Primary]], [[#Special Weapons|Special]] and [[#Heavy Weapons|Heavy]]. Primary Weapons consist of [[Auto Rifles]], [[Hand Cannons]], [[Pulse Rifles]] and [[Scout Rifles]]. Secondary Weapons consist of [[Fusion Rifles]], [[Sniper Rifles]], [[Shotguns]] and [[Sidearms]]. Heavy Weapons consist of [[Machine Guns]] and [[Rocket Launchers]]. There are, however, exceptions to this rule that exist.

Weapons in Destiny are divided into eleven families distributed among three parent categories.

Weapon Perks are addons arranged as a "Talent Grid" that enhance or customize the stats and attributes of the weapon that are viewable by inspecting the weapon whilst in the player menu. [[Uncommon]] or rarer weapons gain [[Experience Points]] when players use the weapons or by the use of [[Motes of Light]]. As the weapons gain EXP, upgrades will be unlocked. Players can unlock these upgrades by spending certain currencies such as [[Glimmer]].

==Weapon Statistics==
−
Weapons can be obtained through fighting enemies in the Story mode, the Crucible. They can be given as rewards for completing daily bounties, Daily and Weekly Heroic Strikes and the Weekly Nightfall. They are sometimes found in loot chests, engrams, and earned as rewards for fighting in the Crucible.
+
Weapons in Destiny are defined by their statistics: numerical values that determine how effective a weapon will be in combat. These statistics are as follows:
  
−
==Year 1 and 2 Information==
+
*[[Impact]] - This value determines how much damage each round inflicts on a target. Note that Impact will generally share an inverse relationship with Rate of Fire.
−
In [[House of Wolves]], players can upgrade their old [[Legendary]] and [[Exotic]] weapons to the highest [[Attack]] (170) with [[Ascend]] [[perk]] that requires [[Etheric Light]] and [[Exotic Shard]] respectively.
+
*[[Range]] - This value determines how far a bullet can travel before its damage begins to decay. It also affects aim assist and bullet magnetism at longer ranges.
 +
*[[Rate of Fire]] - This value determines how quickly a weapon can fire. Note that Rate of Fire will generally share an inverse relationship with Impact.
 +
*[[Stability]] - This value determines the severity of a weapon's recoil.
 +
*[[Reload]] - This value determines how quickly a weapon can be reloaded.
 +
*[[Magazine]] - This value determines the number of rounds that a weapon can hold in a single magazine.

In [[The Taken King]], players can [[#Infusion|infuse]] their unused weapons into other weapons of their choice, consuming the first weapon and, as of April 12th 2016, increasing the [[Attack]] of the second weapon to match that of the first (to a maximum of 335). [[Rare]], [[Legendary]] and [[Exotic]] weapons can be [[#Infusion|infused]] into [[Legendary]] weapons whilst only [[Legendary]] and [[Exotic]] weapons can be [[#Infusion|infused]] into other [[#Exotic|Exotics]].

Weapon Statistics

Weapons in Destiny are defined by their statistics: numerical values that determine how effective a weapon will be in combat. These statistics are as follows:

  • Impact - This value determines how much damage each round inflicts on a target. Note that Impact will generally share an inverse relationship with Rate of Fire.
  • Range - This value determines how far a bullet can travel before its damage begins to decay. It also affects aim assist and bullet magnetism at longer ranges.
  • Rate of Fire - This value determines how quickly a weapon can fire. Note that Rate of Fire will generally share an inverse relationship with Impact.
  • Stability - This value determines the severity of a weapon's recoil.
  • Reload - This value determines how quickly a weapon can be reloaded.
  • Magazine - This value determines the number of rounds that a weapon can hold in a single magazine.

Ammunition

All weapons feature a hidden statistic known as Inventory. This value determines the maximum amount of ammunition that can be carried in a player's reserves. The Inventory statistic will always be a value between ten (10) and one hundred (100), though the effect of this value varies between weapon families; a Sniper Rifle with an Inventory value of 100 would not be able to hold the same amount of ammunition as a Fusion Rifle with an Inventory value of 100, for example. Chest armor, Boots, and select Exotic equipment provide the player with perks that directly increase the Inventory stat for the specified weapon family while it is equipped. These perks are as follows:

+20 Inventory +30 Inventory +50 Inventory
Auto Rifle Ammo Special Weapon Ammo Field Scout
Pulse Rifle Ammo Heavy Weapon Ammo
Scout Rifle Ammo
Hand Cannon Ammo
Sniper Rifle Ammo
Fusion Rifle Ammo
Shotgun Ammo
Sidearm Ammo
Machine Gun Ammo
Rocket Launcher Ammo
