How To Get Stasis Fragments In Destiny 2: Beyond Light
Destiny 2: Beyond Light had a bit of a rocky launch, thanks to server and connection issues, followed by players feeling shortchanged by the amount of content in the expansion. Destiny 2 has certainly had its ups and downs, but it seems that critics are now enjoying the new content Beyond Light has added to the mix: additional story, along with the new setting (Europa) and the new darkness power of Stasis.
The Stasis Subclasses can be upgraded through Aspects and Fragments, which grant either a passive effect or active ability. Two Aspects can be equipped at once, and each comes with 1-3 Fragment slots. Fragments can help you tune your powers and control them more accurately.
But getting those Stasis Fragments isn't an easy task: That's because you actually have to finish the Beyond Light campaign before you even get started. Read on to find out what your next steps will be.
Unlock Your Aspects First
Once you've finished the main story, you'll get a screen that tells you some of the things you can do beyond the campaign. To "Master Stasis," you need to go to the Exo Stranger to get the "Born In Darkness" quest. There are several parts to this mission: collecting Energized Ether to defeat 10 enemies with Stasis melee abilities, completing three strikes with Stasis equipped and killing 60 enemies affected by Stasis, taking out Weniks' platoon on Europa, and finally, bringing the Skeleton Key to the Exo Stranger in the Bunker E15 Lost Sector at Eventide Ruins.
At this point, the Exo Stranger sends you out on the "Aspect of Control" quest. Your goal now is to find five Entropic Shards on Europa and activate them by shooting them with the Salvation's Grip Exotic Grenade Launcher (earning that may require another quest, if you haven't gotten it yet). Once you've done all this, you'll get your first Aspect.
At this point in Destiny 2's lifespan, every Stasis Subclass has two Aspects, and you get your second one from the "Aspect of Destruction" quest, which is offered to you once you get through "Born in Darkness."
Finally, the Fragments
Whew. Now that you've gotten your Aspect, which is the hard part, you can talk to the Exo Stranger and then choose quests that are labeled as Fragment Quests. There will be two new ones available every week.
Fortunately, these quests are available as Strike, Gambit, or Crucible bounties, so you can pick the type of gameplay that you're best at and grind away. Once you've received your Memory Fragment, you can trade it in to the Exo Stranger to receive a Fragment.
Once you get a Fragment, you'll use these passive bonuses to modify how your abilities work. You'll also equip them based on how many slots your Aspect allows. As you can see, this process will take you a while — and figuring which configuration fits your own play-style may add time to that.
Currently available Fragments include: Whisper of Hedrons, Whisper of Fissures, Whisper of Refraction, Whisper of Durance, Whisper of Bonds, and Whisper of Shards, each of which has its own strengths.
