Destiny 2 Forsaken Guide: Shader Recycling

Every Destiny player, at one point or another, has experienced the grief of not having enough Glimmer. When you're upgrading weapons and armor, buying materials and ships, and everything else in-between, the costs add up quickly. Destiny 2: Forsaken brings a new way for even the deadest, brokest Guardian to get some quick Glimmer and get what they need: Shader Recycling. 

Destiny 2 changed the way shaders were used, turning them from all-encompassing to single-use. Unfortunately, that meant that some Guardians had more Shaders than they needed, especially ones that are more "unique" (Read: ugly.) Guardians used to have to delete each Shader individually to create space, but now we can delete them in chunks of five. Here's how: 

How to Mass Delete Shaders in Destiny 2: Forsaken 

Head on over to the Tower and visit our good friend Rahool, the Cryptarch. Once you interact with him, you'll see the option to recycle Shaders, and you'll see all the lovely shaders you've collected over time (shoutout to Nebula Rose!) 

From this screen, you can start to delete the Shaders you have a bit too many of. It'll happen five at a time, so be sure to do your math right before mashing A or X. Fear not - if you mess up and sell a Shader you didn't want to, you can simply re-purchase the Shader from your Collections tab. This also works for Shaders you run out of that you've grown fond of. 

We'll be continuing our coverage on Destiny 2: Forsaken over the next few days, so stay tuned!
