Farming for Deepsight, or Red Border weapons, is extremely important for any player looking to take on Destiny 2’s most challenging content. The best weapons in the looter shooter are craftable, and the only way to get craftable weapons is to farm Red Borders.
Unlike random rolls, Red Border weapons can be crafted and fine-tuned to guarantee God Rolls, meta perks, and even Masterwork bonuses. This lets you customize a weapon’s frame, changing which stat receives the +10 Masterwork bonus which makes a huge difference on certain weapons.
Unfortunately, getting some Red Border weapons can be difficult and Guardians are often instead left to rely on Deepsight Harmonizers to acquire the crafted God Rolls they want. To help you get the most out of this valuable resource we’ve put together this handy guide.

How to farm Deepsight Harmonizers in Destiny 2
The only way to obtain Deepsight Harmonizers in Destiny 2 is to progress the Season Pass. A total of six can be acquired in the Season of the Wish season pass at the following ranks:
- Rank 47 (Premium)
- Rank 57 (Free)
- Rank 62 (Premium)
- Rank 77 (Free)
- Rank 84 (Premium)
- Rank 93 (Free)
In the This Week At Bungie blog posted on April 5, 2023, Bungie confirmed that the Season Pass would be the “sole source,” of Deepsight Harmonizers for the initial rollout. However, several months on from that announcement a secondary source has still yet to be added.
How to use Deepsight Harmonizers in Destiny 2
Deepsight Harmonizers can be used in Destiny 2 by selecting them in the Mod slot found on all eligible non-Red Border craftable weapons.
If a weapon is eligible a message will appear when hovering over it that reads: “Deepsight activation is available for this weapon.”
Be aware that craftable weapons dropped exclusively from Raids will require an additional 15 Spoils of Conquest per Deepsight Harmonizer to activate them.
Once the Deepsight Harmonizer is selected it will immediately convert the chosen weapon into a Red Border. From there you can simply extract the pattern progress as usual.
Deepsight Harmonizers are used to convert eligible craftable weapons into Red Borders.
Best weapons to use Deepsight Harmonizers on in Season of the Wish
The best weapons to use your Deepsight Harmonizer on are older craftable weapons that are no longer available outside of Banshee and Xur selling them. Alternatively, World Drop exclusive weapons are a great choice too as it can be difficult to farm meta rolls for them.
Season of the Witch saw the introduction of the Exotic Mission Rotator which offers an alternative way to acquire Red Borders for old seasonal weapons. However, outside of the guaranteed weekly rewards the drop rates of Deepsight weapons are low, limiting the activity’s usefulness for farming craftable guns.
Given this, you’ll still need to rely on Deepsight Harmonizers, and these are the recommended weapons to use your Deepsight Harmonizers on in Season of the Wish:
