==Weapon Upgrades== | |||
Weapons in Destiny are capable of being upgraded by players. Each weapon has an upgrade "tree" that allows certain capabilities and improvements to be applied to the weapon, at the cost of a certain amount of [[Glimmer]] along with a pre-determined number of weapon kits and the application of one or more talent points.<ref name= "Closed Doors Demo"> [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTfhrONAp-c '''IGN''' - ''Destiny Behind Closed Doors Demo - E3 2013''] </ref> Additionally, it has been revealed that while [[Thunderlord|certain weapons]] will have a more or less "linear" upgrade tree, some weapon trees will diverge into different "branches", allowing for certain weapons to have more specialized applications as well as making it impossible to obtain all upgrades for that particular weapon.<ref name="Ausgamers.com interview with Bungie's Chris Butcher">http://www.ausgamers.com/features/read/3321493</ref> | |||
