Destiny 2 Prismatic - Three guardians posing

Jump to:How to unlock PrismaticSupersGrenades and meleesFragments and aspects

One of the biggest new features inDestiny 2’s The Final Shape expansion is thePrismatic subclass. This new class allows you to blend the powers of the light and darkness to create insanely strong builds that outshine almost anything the other subclasses can currently do.

On top of blending the abilities from a variety of other subclasses, the Prismatic subclass has its own unique ability: Transcendence. Filling up both the light and darkness bars underneath your super allows you to use Transcendence, unlocking a new grenade, plus increased damage and ability regen while it’s active.

However, to fully deck out your Prismatic class and make the most of it, you will need to unlock all of the grenades, melee attacks, and supers, as well as aspects and fragments. Here’s how you can do that, with a deep dive into which missions and quests to complete to unlock everything.

How to unlock the Prismatic subclass

Destiny 2 Prismatic - Unlocking the subclass

You’ll unlock the Prismatic Subclass during the first campaign mission of The Final Shape. When visiting the war table room in the old Tower in The Pale Heart, you can interact with the Prismatic Conflux to obtain the subclass.

This will unlock the subclass permanently, unlike in Lightfall where you were slowly drip-fed Strand over the course of the campaign. However, just because you have the subclass, doesn’t mean you have everything available. There is still a lot left for you to unlock.

To unlock all your these Prismatic subclass supers, you need to:

Simply playing through the campaign will mean you pick up a few extra supers to swap to, including the brand new super, which you’ll get around halfway through. Be sure to complete the Destined Heroes exotic quest as soon as you can to get the extra supers tied to the connected questlines. These five stage quests have you fighting alongside Mithrax and Caiatl and will let you unlock theErgo Sumexotic sword also.

Stages 1, 3, and 5 of each quest will unlock one or two items for your Prismatic subclass when you open “Manifestations of the Light” Prismatic chests.

As with the supers, to unlock all of your Prismatic subclass grenades and melee attacks, you need tocomplete the main story missions in The Final Shape and finish both the ‘Lost in the Light’ and ‘Found in the Dark’ quests.
