Destiny 2 brings you the event “The Past is Prologue” with the opportunity to secure various goodies before the last episode is rolled out. In addition to the known loot from weapons and mementos, there is a shader that particularly stands out from the rewards – Banter White.
What kind of event is this? This is a small event called “The Past is Prologue.” Similar to the temporary event “Riven’s Wishes”, you can now earn Bento Tokens so that you can secure weapons, mementos, materials, and the shader “Banter White” at the Wanderer, the current event vendor.
A total of only 8 Bento Tokens can be earned, and when they are all spent, you can no longer buy anything – so choose wisely what you want to buy. Returns are excluded with the Wanderer.
But if you are a longtime player and have exhausted all activities, you are probably only interested in the shader from the catalog. We will show you how to get it as quickly as possible.
Here’s how to quickly get the shader from Destiny 1
What do I need to do for the shader? To obtain Banter White, you must have redeemed a total of 5 Bento Tokens with the Wanderer. However, the Bento Tokens are tied to quests that you must complete first. You can get these from the Wanderer. The following are known:
- This is how legends are made
- Complete the final encounters in any raid or dungeon. Raids grant bonus progress.
- Reward: 2x Bento Token
- Complete the final encounters in any raid or dungeon. Raids grant bonus progress.
- Warlike Mementos
- Get finishing blows with Service Regime, Scourge of the Past, Malevolent Touch, Whisper of the Worm, Xenophage, or Arbalest.
- Reward: 1x Bento Token
- Get finishing blows with Service Regime, Scourge of the Past, Malevolent Touch, Whisper of the Worm, Xenophage, or Arbalest.
- A Questionable Bento Box
- Receive questionable celery from defeated targets in Gambit and collect century eggs from defeated fighters on the Moon.
- Reward: 1x Bento Token
- Receive questionable celery from defeated targets in Gambit and collect century eggs from defeated fighters on the Moon.
- Nightmare Luncheon
- Complete activities on the Moon. You gain bonus progress for completing Nightmare hunts.
- Reward: 1x Bento Token
- Complete activities on the Moon. You gain bonus progress for completing Nightmare hunts.
After that, you have to wait until January 24, when Xur appears in the Tower. Complete any Bento quest from him to obtain the shader. Note that you can receive additional Bento tasks from Xur to earn more Bento tokens – do not forget them.
How do I complete the event quickly? Those who do not want to lose time should combine quests to gain progress for multiple tasks simultaneously. You should always have Scourge of the Past or Service Regime equipped.
After that, you can get a quick checkpoint for Dûl Incaru, the final boss from the dungeon “Broken Throne” via d2checkpoint.com or in the Destiny 2 community and complete it in a few minutes with the Wardcliff Coil.
Finally, there is Gambit and the activities on the Moon. Unfortunately, in Gambit you have to endure it, as there is no shortcut. For the Moon, we recommend Nightmare hunts, which go quickly, and if you still have friends in the team, you can easily complete it in the meantime.
How long do I have? Bungie is running the event for over 2 weeks – until Episode: Heresy starts on February 4. Since Xur is appearing soon, now is the perfect time to quickly complete the tasks over the weekend.
Why is the shader so special? Banter White is a legendary shader from Destiny 1. Especially veterans still know it, as it could only be earned through the raid of the Glass Chamber. It was tied to RNG and often required multiple completions of Atheon before you could call it your own.
What is special about it is its color, because the shader immerses your guardian in a clear white without distracting or differently colored accents. So if you like to be fashion-conscious in Destiny 2, you should get the shader, as you never know when and if it might return.
