Strand might be the shiny new subclass that serves as Destiny 2’s biggest selling point for the Lightfall expansion, but it’s not the only addition coming to the subclasses when Lightfall launches on Feb. 28.
Throughout the year of The Witch Queen, the Light subclasses have received major reworks to bring them into the 3.0 system first introduced with Stasis. Each subclass now has access to a variety of Aspects and Fragments, allowing players to take a more in-depth look at how they want to build into their abilities and the new buffs or debuffs that the Light subclasses were given as part of the move.
In Lightfall, Bungie has announced that the list of available Fragments—the universal benefits available to all classes—will be growing. Some of the Fragments that currently exist in-game for Solar and Void are going to be reworked to tie into new subclass pickups: Firesprites and Void Breaches. Some new Fragments will also enter the fray across all three Light subclasses as well. Guardians will have more options than ever for how to build their loadouts.
Here are all the new Fragments—and updated ones—that we know are coming to Light 3.0 in Lightfall.
