History of Origin Trait

Overview

Origin Traits are intrinsic perks found on all weapons from The Witch Queen onward. Every Legendary weapon has at least one, in its own perk column. They are not randomly rolled; they are set by the weapon's manufacturer or by the activity it drops from.

Types

• Activity traits: Strike weapons carry Vanguard's Vindication (health on final blows), Crucible weapons One Quiet Moment (faster reload out of combat), and Trials of Osiris weapons Alacrity (better reload, stability, aim assist and range as the last fireteam member).
• Manufacturer traits: e.g. Suros Synergy, Veist Stinger, Omolon Field Dynamics.

A weapon can have both an activity and manufacturer trait, but only one is active at a time. Crafted weapons get their manufacturer's trait, or Psychohack if they have none. The purpose is to give foundries and activity weapons a distinct identity.
