Origin and Intrinsic Traits Explained

Guaranteed Modifiers for Weapons

Intrinsic & Origin Traits

Intrinsic and Origin Traits are similar to Perks that provide additional stats and bonuses to Weapons, but are always guaranteed.

Intrinsic and Origin Traits also typically enhance weapon functions, since for most cases, such as Exotic Weapons, the Origin and Intrinsic Traits are exclusive to that weapon.

Cannot be Upgraded

Unlike Perks, Origin and Intrinsic Traits cannot be upgraded, and have fixed stats and modifiers.

They also take up the first two Perk Slots, and cannot be rerolled.
