The remaining 21 patterns can be unlocked by Destiny 2 players by completing the Deepsight Resonance trait on weapons that randomly roll it, with some requiring a single completion and others requiring multiple.
This is a list of all the remaining patterns and their requirements, starting with Primary weapons:

It’s worth noting that Deepsight Resonance weapons in Destiny 2 drop randomly, meaning that the most effective ways to obtain them are quick activities, playing or replaying through The Witch Queen campaign, and PsiOps Battlegrounds.
Alternating a couple PsiOps Battlegrounds and missions from The Witch Queen campaign can be particularly beneficial in order for players to get a constant flow of Psychogenic Intel, the currency used to open extra chests in the Battlegrounds.
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
