Destiny 2: Beyond Light is finally here and although the game has continuously kept us waiting, the game brings a much-anticipated set of new activities and challenges. The latest expansion pack is the fifth of its kind and takes players to one of the iciest moons of Jupiter – Europa where they battle Fallen Kell Eramis who wants to save her people by using the power of the Darkness.
To aid you with the main story plot, you can take advantage of Powerful rewards that you can get from strikes, Gambit, Crucible, and Seasonal drops. To make room for the new additions, Bungie is pushing some of the in-game elements like weapons, destination, armor, and activities to the Destiny Content Vault which can no longer be accessed in upcoming seasons.
So do you get to use Phaseglass Needles in upcoming seasons of the game and what happens to the well-earned Phaseglass Needles that you received during the game’s previous seasons? That’s what we’re here to talk about.

Can you use existing Phaseglass Needles in Destiny 2: Beyond Light?
Yes. If you have unspent stockpiles of Phaseglass Needles available on your profile, you can continue to spend them at vendors like you normally would. As an alternative escape, players will also be able to obtain a small amount of glimmer in exchange for your Phaseglass Needles if you go to Spider.
Bungie, the game’s developer, says the best value you can get from your existing collectibles like Phaseglass Needles is to spend them before the end of next season.
Would you be able to get more Phaseglass Needles in Beyond Light?
No. If you knew how to get access to Phaseglass Needles in Destiny 2, you’d know that they can only be obtained at a specific location at Planet Io. In case you don’t know, Planet Io is one of the five destinations in Destiny 2 that are being removed and placed in the Destiny Content Vault (DCV). This is to make room for Earth’s Cosmodrome and Europa which are new maps that are available for players to play in.
How the heck do I get phaseglass needle in beyond light? from DestinyTheGame
Planet Io joins Titan, Mars, Mercury, and the Leviathan ship among the locations that are being scrapped in the Beyond Light expansion pack of Destiny 2. The lack of a Planet Io means you will no longer be able to farm for Phaseglass Needles in Destiny 2, translating to the fact that you can’t obtain Phaseglass Needles anymore.

What happens to Phaseglass Needles in Season 13 Destiny 2?
Phaseglass Needles as well as other currencies found in destinations that are no longer available in Destiny 2 won’t be accepted by vendors after the start of Season 13. What this means is, not only can you not obtain new Phaseglass Needles in Beyond Light, but come another season, all your existing Phaseglass Needles will be removed from your inventory.
Although Bungie has made it clear that Planet Io is being added to the Destiny Content Vault (DCV) and can make a comeback in future iterations of the game, the same cannot be said about Phaseglass Needles which haven’t even been mentioned in the list of content that’s being added to the DCV. So, as far as the future of Phaseglass Needles is concerned, it’s better to just forget about it.

How much time do you have left to turn in phased-out currencies?
The current season (Season 12) titled “Season of the Hunt” began during the launch of Destiny 2: Beyond Light and is expected to run for as long as 91 days post-launch. Since the soon-to-be-phased-out items are set to expire and go wasteful by the start of Season 13, all the currencies and items that we listed above will no longer be available to use from February 10, 2021.
So, if you have any of the in-game items that are being removed from Destiny 2, be sure to use it or exchange it on or before February 9, 2021, which is when the Season of the Hunt ends.
Why is Bungie removing items from Destiny 2?
Developers of Destiny 2 revealed that their aim is to add more expansions to Destiny 2 instead of building a Destiny 3. The only way to do this, Bungie says, is to cycle older, less actively played content out of the current versions of the game which will also make Destiny 2 more efficient to update and maintain.
By introducing the Destiny Content Vault (DCV), Bungie can keep some of the older content from previous seasons and can add them later in the future. The company says the existence of so many items within the game meant that players needed to download as much as 115GB to play the game and download some more when a patch is being rolled out.
According to Bungie, a lot of the content from that 115GB is no longer relevant to the game, and with so much of that removed, it reduces the time to generate a stable update within hours instead of days. The developers will now aim to keep the scope and scale of Destiny 2 at the same size so that they can properly support and maintain the game.
Do you have a bunch of Phaseglass Needles in Destiny 2? Use it as fast as you can before it goes to waste.
