Psychohack is a new Origin Trait in Destiny 2 with the release of The Witch Queen expansion that comes with all weapons acquired from Savathun's Throne World. Sustained damage from the weapon lowers the target's damage output for a short duration. Origin Traits in general are a column added with the release of this expansion.

Much like the Intrinsic Traits that exotics in Destiny 2 have, Origin Traits serve as a way to identify the origin and identity of weapon manufacturers. Each of the Year Five weapons will include an Origin Trait. For example, all Veist weapons will now drop with the Veist Stinger Origin Trait.

By adding a new column with a bevy of different options depending on the weapon's origin, Bungie has manufactured a reason to farm not only new weapons for an extra perk but the craftable version of that particular weapon. With weapon crafting having been implemented, god rolls are far more attainable and player agency is once again a thing.
