Destiny 2 got a bona fide lightsaber in Renegades. The Praxic Blade is one of the most exciting Exotics in the game, and you get it in the latter half of the expansion's main quest. Getting it, however, is just the beginning of your journey.
The Praxic Blade, like any good lightsaber, boasts a slew of customization options, both for gameplay and for cosmetics. While yes, some of them are indeed in the Eververse, the lion's share as of launch is unlocked through regular gameplay.
Here's how you get the Praxic Blade in Destiny 2 Renegades and how you can use it.
When do you get the Praxic Blade (Lightsaber) in Destiny 2 Renegades?
The Praxic Blade drops from the Fire and Ice mission, which is step 33 of the Renegades campaign. The game asks you to "Visit the Praxic Temple with Aunor," giving you your own version of the Jedi training. Completing Fire and Ice grants you the Praxic Blade with one colored crystal (blue or green), as well as the starting versions of each trait.
After getting your lightsaber and completing the campaign, Aunor will lead you into the Praxic's Path quest, essentially a tutorial on how to improve your Praxic Blade. This teaches you how to unlock more upgrades for your lightsaber and grants you an extra colored crystal (blue or green, depending on which one you didn't get at first).
What does the Praxic Blade do in Destiny 2 Renegades?
The Praxic Blade has a slew of unique traits. The more Exotic of them are:
- Cormorant Reversal: The Praxic Blade reflects incoming projectiles when blocking.
- Cormorant Combo: Using three light attacks and hitting the heavy attack does a high-damage hit that consumes no ammo.
- Ranged Throw: Pressing heavy attack throws your Praxic Blade. Attacking recalls it toward you. Holding the button sends a more powerful throw in a straight path and recalls the blade when releasing.
Like Wolfsbane, however, you can also unlock a litany of upgrades that touch on the weapon's stats, tie it into subclass verbs, and even apply catalysts to your lightsaber.
