Best ways to get Upgrade Modules in Destiny 2

Destiny 2 - Witch Queen Campaign

Currently, the best way to get Upgrade Modules is by running the Witch Queen campaign on legendary, as this doubles the number of chests that spawn. However, this is capped to your character's first run-through, so you cannot run it with the same character again to get Upgrade Modules. But you can run it with another character to acquire them.

Destiny 2 Season Pass

Owning the Season Pass is the following best method, as you can earn 31 Upgrade Modules per season by hitting Rank 84. You will earn a certain amount of Upgrade Modules at specific rank increments of the Season Pass.

Venders in Destiny 2

After Season Pass, the next method is to purchase them from vendors such as Banshee-44 or Ada-1. They both sell Upgrade Modules via their material exchange mechanic. You will need the following:

  • 5k Glimmer
  • 25 planetary materials
  • One Enchantment Core
  • 10 Legendary shards

The planetary materials needed for material exchange change daily, with different materials needed. The rest of the materials required stays the same.

Increasing your Gunsmith Rank in Destiny 2

Increasing your Gunsmith Rank is another excellent way to get Upgrade Modules, as you can acquire four before every reset. To increase your rank, fulfill bounties from the Gunsmith, which generally involves getting a certain amount of kills with a specific weapon or damage type. Dismantling weapons also increases your Gunsmith Rank.
