Uncommon Weapon

Uncommon weapons are the most common "special" weapons found in destiny, they are highlighted with a green icon in the user inventory and generally have higher attack power than standard weapons of the same type. They can some times be found by killing elite enemies of a similar level to yourself. Although they are found to be more easily acquired be killing elite enemies of a slightly higher level than the user or by killing "boss" type enemies. They are also often awarded for completing missions and contracts.

Uncommon weapons have the ability to be upgraded by the user in the same way the player levels up (pressing the upgrade button when highlighting the item) These upgrades come in various forms which depend on the type of weapon or armor you are upgrading, from simple damage increases to improved optics and specific armor buffs.

These weapons should become the base of the users inventory throughout the early game.

When dropped by enemies, all weapons appear in the form of a color coded dodecahedron, in the case of uncommon weapons, this dodecahedron is colored green in a similar manner to secondary weapon amunition drops.
