What is an Origin Trait in Destiny 2

An Origin Trait is the innate trait of a weapon. This trait depends upon where you get the weapon from and the weapon's manufacturer. These traits grant specific buffs to the weapon, making them really powerful in different situations. These individual traits give the weapons an identity of their own.

There are two different types of Origin Traits in Destiny 2. They are as follows:

• Activity Trait: Refers to the activity from where you obtained the weapon.
• Manufacturer Trait: Refers to the manufacturer that made the weapon.

And just like every other perk we've seen previously, only one trait can be active at any given point in time. So if you've received a Suros weapon from a Nightfall, you will have two Origin Traits on it, i.e., Stunning Recovery and Suros Synergy.

At any given point in time, either Stunning Recovery or Suros Synergy will be active. And although the chance for these traits activating is moderately low, it gives the weapon an added edge when they're active, making the weapon deadlier if they end up stacking.
