In exciting news for Guardians, Destiny 2 seems poised to reintroduce the much-loved Chatterwhite shader from Destiny 1! This revelation comes straight from recent datamining efforts, which uncovered hints that players can expect this fan-favorite aesthetic to make its comeback.

Following the successful return of the Superblack shader during the Into the Light update in April 2024, fans have been buzzing about potential revivals of other iconic shaders. Superblack, renowned for its sleek, monochromatic look, instantly gained popularity upon its initial release in Destiny 1.

The anticipation is now shifting towards the Chatterwhite shader, a dazzling all-white shader originally earned through the Vault of Glass raid in Destiny 1. While a similar shader called Bitterpearl appeared in Destiny 2 with the Vault of Glass reprise, players have voiced their desires for Chatterwhite to reenter the game’s aesthetic offerings.

According to the datamined information, Chatterwhite is linked to an upcoming event known as “Firecracker,” which is speculated to involve various quests featuring beloved characters like The Drifter and Eris Morn. However, it's crucial to approach this with caution as there has been no official confirmation from Bungie regarding this content yet, so keep your hype in check for the time being.

How to Unlock the Chatterwhite Shader in Destiny 2

Based on early data, players might be able to unlock the coveted Chatterwhite shader through a new questline named “Packed Lunch.” This intriguing event appears to consist of eight distinct quests that Guardians must navigate to unlock the shader. Here’s a sneak peek at the steps you might need to take:

Packed Lunch Questline:

1. Visit Drifter in the Tower.

2. Complete five Bento Boxes with Drifter.

3. Return to Drifter in the Tower.

4. Investigate a vending machine nearby to collect a “Bootleg Drifter tincture.”

Nightmarish Adventures:

1. Speak with Drifter in the Tower.

2. Complete 60 activities on the Moon, with Nightmare Hunts offering bonus progress.

3. Return to Eris Morn on the Moon.

4. Exchange your Bento tokens for rewards.

...And more with additional questlines like “The Stuff of Legends,” “A Dubious Bento,” “Martial Mementos,” “Snakebite,” “Dredgens of Yore,” and “Nightmare Kills,” each presenting unique challenges and goals for Guardians.

Release Timeline Uncertain

At this point, however, there's no specific timeline for when the Chatterwhite shader will officially drop or when the Firecracker event will kick off. Bungie has remained tight-lipped about any potential announcements. But with the community's wishes echoing throughout the universe of Destiny, hope persists for a swift release.

In related news, eager players can also look forward to the unveiling of the Dawning 2024 armor set, sporting new weapons, Event Card, emblems, and more dynamic cosmetic items that will soon enhance Guardian customization.
