After Shadowkeep Update, Bungie changed many of the core mechanics of Destiny 2. This also includes how players upgrade their Weapons and Armors. Every Weapon and Armor has a Power Level, by equipping these gears players can increase their own power level.
Every Guardian needs a certain amount of Power Level to start quests or partake in Raids and Trials. The new system allows the players to upgrade their favorite gears, by using Upgrade Modules.
What is Upgrade Module
Upgrade Module lets players upgrade their gear’s power level to another piece of gear, whose power level is higher, in this process the gear with the higher power level will be destroyed. This lets players enjoy their favorite gear for a longer period of time.
