Obtaining Masterwork Cores in Destiny 2

Masterwork Cores are required for converting Legendary Weapons into Masterwork Weapons. Obtaining these Masterwork Cores is no easy task. Sometimes when you trade in the Legendary Engrams, you may get a Masterwork Weapon as well but it is a very slim chance. Mostly you get a Legendary Weapon. However, you can convert your favorite Legendary Weapons to Masterwork Weapons.

Masterwork Weapons pack more punch and have added features than the Legendary variations so they are highly valuable. You will require 10 Masterwork Cores to convert a Legendary Weapon into a Masterwork Weapon. You get these Masterwork Cores as you play the game more and more.

The more you grind the game, the more Masterwork Cores you can get. It goes for the Masterwork Weapons as well. When you max out the level, you sometimes get Masterwork Weapons as loot.

However, not every Masterwork Weapon will be up to your liking and you will want to have a Masterwork Version of a Legendary Weapon that you love to use in the battle. In such a case, you can simply dismantle all the extra Masterwork Weapons that you have in your inventory and get some Masterwork Cores.

Each dismantled Masterwork Weapon will give you around 1-3 Masterwork Cores. Once you have enough cores, you can simply upgrade the Legendary Weapon of your choice. This is a much quicker way of obtaining a favored Masterwork Weapon.

You can also try using as many Legendary Engrams as possible as they will sometimes give you Masterwork Weapons as well. If you do not like the weapon, simply dismantle the weapon, obtain the Masterwork Cores and upgrade your favorite Legendary Weapon to a Masterwork Weapon.
