Farming missions or activities will give you ample opportunities to slay waves of enemies. Here's a list of activities we recommend trying when leveling crafted weapons:

  • Dungeons
  • Strikes
  • Nightfall
  • Main Missions
  • Quests
  • Gambit

Why should you level crafted weapons in Destiny 2?

Leveling weapons in Destiny 2 is a great idea because it unlocks higher quality perks and frames to use when reshaping a weapon. Once you reach a few levels with a weapon, you can reshape it to get better perks at the Enclave.

At the Enclave, you will need to locate the Relic and then access the option to reshape weapons. First, head to the Enclave by finding the icon shown below in Savathun's Throne World.

Once at the Enclave, locate the Relic and then interact with it. Upon interacting with the Relic, you will get two choices, Shape and Reshaping.
