The Praxic Blade has quickly become one of Destiny 2’s most popular weapons, thanks to its energy beam closely resembling the iconic lightsabers from the Star Wars universe.
Just as players choose lightsaber colors based on personality or style, Guardians can customize the Praxic Blade’s beam to match their preferred aesthetic, subclass theme, or overall look.
By unlocking and equipping different Dark Matter Crystals, you can instantly change the Praxic Blade’s beam color, giving the weapon a distinct visual identity that suits your personal taste.
