How to Obtain Destiny 2 Deepsight Harmonizer and Which Weapons to Convert

In The Final Shape, Deepsight Harmonizers play a crucial role in Destiny 2. Notably, they are essential for acquiring craftable weapons, particularly for players who prefer to avoid the lengthy grind associated with farming these items.

For players eager to tackle the game’s toughest challenges, securing Deepsight or Red Border weapons is of utmost importance. Many of the most powerful weapons available in Destiny 2 can be crafted, but this can only be accomplished by obtaining these coveted Red Borders.

Unlike traditional random rolls, Red Border weapons allow for crafting and customization, enabling players to optimize their gear for God Rolls, incorporate meta perks, and add Masterwork bonuses. This customization offers critical enhancements, including the ability to dictate which stat receives a +10 Masterwork bonus—capabilities that can significantly affect gameplay.

However, acquiring Red Border weapons can be quite challenging, often leaving players to depend on Deepsight Harmonizers for the crafted God Rolls they desire. Below is a comprehensive guide on maximizing the potential of this valuable resource.

Farming Deepsight Harmonizers

To obtain Deepsight Harmonizers, players must progress through the Season Pass. In the Episode: Revenant’s season pass, you can find a total of eight Harmonizers distributed across several ranks:

Rank 70 (Free)
Rank 75 (Premium)
Rank 85 (Premium)
Rank 90 (Free)
Rank 125* (Premium)
Rank 135* (Premium)
Rank 175** (Premium)
Rank 185** (Premium)

*Only available in Act II
**Only available in Act III

According to a TWID published on April 5, 2023, Bungie confirmed that the Season Pass would be the exclusive source for Deepsight Harmonizers during the initial rollout. To date, a supplementary source for obtaining these Harmonizers has yet to be introduced.

Utilizing Deepsight Harmonizers

To employ Deepsight Harmonizers, simply select the Harmonizer in the Empty Deepsight Socket mod slot of any eligible non-Red Border craftable weapon.

When a weapon is eligible, hovering over it will display the message: “Deepsight activation is available for this weapon.”

Upon selecting the Deepsight Harmonizer, the chosen weapon will instantly convert into a Red Border. Following that, players can proceed to extract pattern progress just as they would with any other Red Border weapon.

It is important to note that craftable weapons obtained exclusively from Raids will require an additional 15 Spoils of Conquest per Deepsight Harmonizer to activate, making raids necessary for transforming these items.

Optimal Weapons for Deepsight Harmonizers

The most effective weapons to convert using Deepsight Harmonizers are older craftable weapons that are no longer available through standard vendors like Banshee and Xur. Additionally, craftable World Drop and Raid weapons are also excellent choices, especially since acquiring desirable rolls can be quite a challenge.

The introduction of the Exotic Mission Rotator in Season of the Witch provides an alternative method to obtain Red Borders for older seasonal weapons. Yet, the low drop rates of Deepsight weapons outside of guaranteed weekly rewards can limit its effectiveness as a farming method for craftable weapons.

Therefore, you will still need to rely on Deepsight Harmonizers. Below is a curated list of recommended weapons to apply them to in Episode Revenant:
