So, you've mastered Stasis on your main character in Destiny 2 and you're ready to wreak havoc with the icy powers on your alt? Unlocking Stasis on a second character isn't as straightforward as simply leveling up. This guide will walk you through the exact steps needed to get your second (or third, or fourth!) Guardian wielding the power of the frozen void.
Understanding the Stasis Unlock Process
Unlike other subclasses, Stasis isn't simply unlocked through the game's main story. It requires completion of a specific questline. The good news? You only need to complete this questline once across your entire account. Once you've unlocked Stasis on one character, the subsequent unlocks on other characters are significantly faster.
Step-by-Step Guide to Unlocking Stasis on Your Second Character
Here's the breakdown, focusing on what you need to do to unlock Stasis on your second character.
1. Check Your Existing Characters:
Before you start, check if you've already completed the Beyond Light campaign and the related Stasis questline on any of your characters. If you have, the process for your second character is much simpler.
2. The "Beyond Light" Campaign: (If not already completed)
If you haven't completed the "Beyond Light" campaign, that's your first task. This campaign is crucial because it introduces the Stasis subclass and unlocks the quest to learn how to use it. You'll need to progress through the main story missions on your new character until you reach a point where the quest is offered.
Key Note: Make sure that you own the Beyond Light expansion.
3. The "The Harbinger" Mission: The Core of Stasis Acquisition
This mission isn't just part of the main campaign; it's the gateway to your Stasis powers. Upon completing certain story missions in "Beyond Light," you'll receive a quest to start "The Harbinger" mission. This mission will introduce you to Eramis, the main antagonist, and guide you through the initial steps of understanding and using Stasis.
Important Detail: Pay close attention to the narrative during "The Harbinger". It sets the stage for the Stasis subclass and provides insight into its mechanics.
4. Unlocking the Stasis Subclass:
After finishing "The Harbinger," you'll officially unlock the Stasis subclass for that character. You'll then be able to choose a Stasis aspect and fragment to customize your subclass and begin experimenting with its unique abilities. This is where the fun begins!
5. Fast Track for Subsequent Characters:
Here's the best part: Once you've completed the "Beyond Light" campaign and "The Harbinger" mission on one character, subsequent characters can access the Stasis subclass much more quickly. The quest will be immediately available, and you can essentially skip straight to the "The Harbinger" mission. No need to replay the entire campaign again!
Troubleshooting: Common Issues and Solutions
- Missing Quest: Ensure you've completed the required story missions in Beyond Light. Sometimes the quest may not appear until you hit a certain story point. Check your quest log for any missing entries.
- Expansion Ownership: Verify you own the Beyond Light expansion. You can't access Stasis without it.
- Game Updates: Make sure your game is fully updated. Patches can sometimes affect quests and unlockables.
By following these steps, you'll soon be wielding the power of Stasis on all your Destiny 2 Guardians. Get ready to freeze your enemies and dominate the battlefield!
