How to get Superblack shader in Destiny 2

After several months of waiting, the Superblack shader has finally returned to Destiny 2, and here’s how you can get it before it goes away once again.

The Superblack shader was first available as the final reward for completing all of the quests in Into The Light. However, it was later removed from the game once the event ended with the arrival of The Final Shape.

Thankfully, it has now returned, and Guardians who previously missed out on the stylish shader can unlock it by partaking in Festival of the Lost 2024. Here’s how to get the Superblack shader in Destiny 2 before the event ends to make sure you don’t miss out again.

How to unlock the Superblack shader

The Superblack shader can be unlocked during Festival of the Lost 2024 by completing the Ghost Writer event challenge.

This challenge requires you to complete all 15 other event challenges available in this year’s Halloween event, with these tasking you to engage and overcome various aspects of FOTL.
