Cells

A cell is an item placed in the socket of a Weapon, Armour or Lantern to provide a Perk - a bonus based on the cell's rarity.

Acquire or Trade Cells

Cells are usually acquired by opening cores but can also be obtained as rewards from Mastery or Hunt Pass progression, or even as a rare drop from a behemoth. The Middleman will fuse cells into higher power cells or even new cells, or buy cells from you for aetherdust. You can also buy cells from The Middleman for aetherdust or platinum, with the selection of cells changing on a timer.
