Destiny 2 The Eclipse: How to Unlock Darkweave Shards & Best Builds

 

Destiny 2 The Eclipse: How to Unlock Darkweave Shards & Best Builds

The Destiny 2 Eclipse campaign introduced Darkweave, the latest Darkweave subclass and the first subclass of any type to be added to the game since Beyond Light in 2020. Players will get to grips with Darkweave's abilities in several missions, while Osiris tries his best to explain where it comes from (TL;DR: you will pull the strings of different sizes to make it work).

However, it is only after finishing the story that it will be possible to unlock all the subclasses and have the option to start grinding for Natures and Fragments. Having reached this point, you may be wondering: how do we unlock the full potential of Darkweave, and which builds are the best?


HOW TO UNLOCK DARKWEAVE AND DARKWEAVE SHARDS

The super short version of the answer to this question is:

  1. Finish the campaign to unlock the Darkweave subclass
  2. Collect "Darkweave Meditations" by doing activities in the Vex Raid Zone
  3. use Darkweave Meditations to buy Grenades, Natures, and Shards at Pouka's Pond in the Hall of Heroes

To unlock the Darkweave subclass permanently in Destiny 2, you will need to finish the Eclipse campaign. Once unlocked and equipped, you will have access to all the basics, such as the grappling hook, which replaces the function of the grenade, and the Super and class skills of your new subclass. But, as always, this is just the beginning.
