Fragments are a new type of ability modifier in Destiny 2. Introduced with the Beyond Light expansion in 2020, Fragments drastically improve player builds and allow them to fine-tune their playstyle. With so many to choose from, and only being able to unlock them one at a time, picking the right one to unlock and the best ones to use can be tough. And now, with the release of Season 18, there are Stasis Fragments, Void Fragments, Solar Fragments, and Arc Fragments. Let’s see what’s on offer and what you should be equipping.
There are quite a few Stasis Fragments for players to unlock in Destiny 2. As the game continues to expand and evolve, players should likely expect more to be added to the sandbox. Below are all the Stasis Fragments currently available in the game.
