Although they took a bit of a backseat to elemental wells, Orbs of Power are finally back as the main resource to generate in Destiny 2. These little orbs of light are fully integrated into the new mod system and are necessary for most end-game builds.
Despite these orbs being so crucial for most builds, many players are confused about how to make them since it was recently changed with the Lightfall expansion. Let’s go over how to make Orbs of Power in Destiny 2.
How To Make Orbs of Power in Destiny 2
There are two main ways to make Orbs of Power in Destiny 2.
- By using armor mods
- By casting your super
With the recent armor rework that came with Lightfall, a lot of the mods that used to generate elemental wells will now generate Orbs of Power instead. This applies to most of the mods linked to your character’s helmet and arm pieces.
The mods available can also change a bit if you are wearing specific pieces of armor from activities, like the new Root of Nightmares armor.
Most of the mods available are related to getting kills with weapons of specific elemental types. These tend to be the siphon mods for your helmet. putting on one of these mods will allow any kill you get with a weapon of the matching element type to have a small chance of making an Orb of Power.
On your arms, the mods tend to be related to getting kills with your abilities. Letting kills with both your melee abilities and your grenades generate Orbs of Power for you and your team.
