Destiny 2 Superblack shader: How to get

Superblack shader is back!

A Destiny 2 wearing the Superblack shader

Festival of the Lost is here. The Halloween-themed event brought back a very exclusive shader in Destiny 2: The Superblack shader.

First re-introduced into the game with Into the Light, the content update that preceded The Final Shape, Superblack has made its way back into the game.

Don't expect the grind for it to be a walk in the park. To start, you only have a few weeks while Festival of the Lost is active, with various requirements that need to be met.
