Uncommon and Rare weapons typically only require glimmer and [[Weapon Parts]] to upgrade. Legendary weapons also require either [[Spinmetal]], [[Helium Filaments]], [[Spirit Bloom]], or [[Relic Iron]]. The final upgrades also require either [[Ascendant Shard]]s or [[Ascendant Energy]] (for pre-''[[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]]'' weapons only). Exotic weapons are similar to Legendary weapons, except instead of ascendant materials they require an [[Exotic Shard]] for the final upgrade. | Uncommon and Rare weapons typically only require glimmer and [[Weapon Parts]] to upgrade.

===Kinetic and Energy Weapons=== | |||
Kinetic and energy weapons will be the same types of weapons, but the differentiation is that kinetic weapons will deal more damage against non-shielded enemies, whereas energy weapons will have an element on them, be it [[Arc]], [[Solar]], or [[Void]], and will deal more damage against enemy shields. | |||
