Shaders have long been a cornerstone of customization in Destiny 2, allowing players to personalize their armor and weapons. With the upcoming Final Shape expansion, Bungie is set to improve shader color accuracy in the UI, a change many fans have been anticipating to address issues with color and texture representation.
Veteran players of Destiny 2 will need to reacquaint themselves with their favorite shaders post-expansion, as previews of the UI modifications hint at a learning curve. Shader updates are not new to the Destiny universe, with previous iterations in the original game, emphasizing the significance of colored shaders in the game's identity.
In a recent blog post, Bungie announced a comprehensive revamp of shader icons in the Final Shape expansion, reflecting all six colors present in each shader distinctly. While the fundamental appearance of shaders remains untouched, the revised icons have evoked mixed responses from the fashion-forward Destiny 2 community, necessitating a fresh learning process for identifying shaders.

For Destiny 2 enthusiasts invested in outfit customization, the impending shader update may increase the time spent navigating through shader options. To streamline this process, players can mark their preferred shaders as favorites for quick access. This simple action, achieved by specific key commands, can alleviate the potential confusion post-update.
Players are advised to prioritize their favorite shaders prior to the Final Shape expansion release on June 4, ensuring a smoother transition. This expansion marks the conclusion of the Light and Dark saga, promising significant gameplay changes for the Destiny 2 community.
