How can I change my subclass in Destiny 2? How do I unlock all subclasses? Here’s how you get the focuses of the Titan, Hunter, and Warlock.
Every Guardian class in Destiny 2 has three subclasses (focuses). These subclasses are assigned to the elements Arc, Solar, and Void.
At the beginning of your Guardian journey, however, only one subclass is available to you:
- If you start with the Titan, you are a Sentinel (Void)
- If you start with the Warlock, you are a Dawnblade (Solar)
- If you start with the Hunter, you are Arcstrider (Arc)
All other subclasses must be unlocked first. We will show you how to do that.
This is how you get all subclasses in Destiny 2 – Find Relics
Unlike the first subclass of a character, the second and third subclasses are not tied to the story. Instead, you need to find relics in the open world, through which you gain access to the subclasses. Each subclass has its own relic.
- According to user reports, the first subclass relic can be found in the open world starting at character level 8. This relic grants you the subclasses from Vanilla Destiny: Striker, Gunslinger, or Voidwalker
- The second subclass relic is said to drop starting from character level 15. This is how you gain access to the “Taken King” subclasses Sunbreaker, Nightstalker, or Stormcaller.
To obtain a relic in the open world, you must rely a bit on luck. According to user reports, relics can randomly be found in chests after public events, in “Lost Sector” chests, and other chests in the open world. It seems to not matter what world you search for chests in.
Charging relics and playing the relic mission
Once you possess a relic, you can inspect it in your inventory. There you can see the requirement you need to fulfill to unlock the subclass. You need to complete some public events until the relic reaches 100%. You can also view the progress in the milestone overview.
Once you have “charged” the relic, a new mission appears in the European Dead Zone:
In this mission, which can only be played solo, you embark on the fragment of the Traveler. On your way there, you will receive information about your subclass. Upon arrival at the fragment, you will be attacked by waves of enemies, which you can then defeat with your new subclass and new super.
Changing subclass
After the mission, you will have permanent access to the new subclass. Go to the character overview, where you can change your subclass in the top left:
By the way: The upgrade points you collect when you level up are not tied to a specific subclass. You can distribute the upgrade points as you wish among your subclasses.
Where did you discover the relics for your subclasses?
