Where to find the Superblack shader
After loading into the Tower, head to the newly added Monument of Triumph section. This area contains several Tenet-themed reward vendors that allow players to exchange Legendary Marks for cosmetic rewards, weapons, ornaments, and other collectibles. Bungie has confirmed that Superblack is among the previously limited-time rewards that have returned through this system.
According to player reports and the walkthrough shown in the video, the shader can be found through the reward podiums, specifically under the Tenet of Sacrifice reward track. After interacting with the vendor, check the featured rewards pages and navigate to the second page if necessary to locate Superblack.
How to unlock Superblack in Destiny 2
Step 1
Travel to the Tower and locate the Monument of Triumph area.
Step 2
Interact with the Monument vendors. If this is your first visit, you may need to make an initial purchase from a Tenet vendor to unlock access to the others.
Step 3
Earn Legendary Marks by completing Monument of Triumph Triumphs. These Triumphs can be accessed through the Journey menu or directly from the Monument vendors.
Step 4
Visit the Tenet of Sacrifice podium and browse the Featured Rewards section.
Step 5
Navigate to the second rewards page and purchase Superblack using Legendary Marks. Community reports and recent player guides indicate the shader costs approximately 25 Legendary Marks.
Monument of Triumph location
The Monument of Triumph is located in the Tower Courtyard. Behind the central monument, you’ll find several Tenet vendors representing different Guardian ideals. These vendors serve as the primary source for many returning rewards, including shaders, armor ornaments, sparrows, skimmers, and other collectibles.
Superblack old method vs new method
| Method | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Into the Light (Original) | Collect Alpha Key and Omega Key from Shaxx and Arcite 99-40 |
| Monument of Triumph (Current) | Purchase with Legendary Marks |
| Availability | Currently obtainable through Monument of Triumph |
| Difficulty | Much easier than the original unlock process |
The original version of Superblack required players to complete the Into the Light progression and obtain both the Alpha and Omega Keys before claiming the shader. That acquisition route has effectively been replaced by the Monument of Triumph reward system, making the shader far more accessible for players who missed it the first time around.
| Reward | Status |
|---|---|
| Superblack Shader | Returned |
| Chatterwhite Shader | Returned |
| Gryphon Sparrow | Returned |
| All Star Vector Skimmer | Returned |
Bungie specifically highlighted these formerly limited rewards as part of the Monument of Triumph reward pool.
Getting Superblack before Monument of Triumph ends
Since Legendary Marks come from Monument of Triumph Triumphs, focus on completing as many Triumph objectives as possible. The more Triumphs you finish, the more Marks you’ll earn, allowing you to purchase Superblack and other returning cosmetics from the Monument vendors.
Superblack is no longer tied to the old Into the Light Alpha and Omega Key questline. To unlock it now, visit the Tower’s Monument of Triumph area, earn Legendary Marks through Triumphs, and purchase the shader from the Tenet reward vendors—specifically the Tenet of Sacrifice reward track. With its return in the Monument of Triumph update, this is currently the easiest way to add Destiny 2’s most popular all-black shader to your collection.
