The Renegades expansion has introduced a thrilling new weapon for Destiny 2 enthusiasts: the Praxic Blade, a lightsaber-like melee weapon. Just like in Star Wars, you can enhance its appearance by unlocking unique colors via Dark Matter Crystals, more commonly known as Kyber Crystals in the Star Wars universe. While many of these crystals can be earned through gameplay, some are also available in the Eververse Store, making for an exciting mix of challenges and rewards.
This new weapon comes packed with features such as deflections and customizable colors, and even includes a nod to the iconic meme featuring Obi-Wan and Anakin. It effectively weaves elements of the Star Wars lore into Bungie’s beloved franchise.
If you’re on a quest for specific colors for your Praxic Blade, we’ve put together a comprehensive list of all the Dark Matter Crystals currently available since the Renegades launch, along with effective tips for unlocking each one. We’ll keep this list updated as new colors are released.
All Dark Matter Crystals for Your Praxic Blade in Destiny 2: Renegades
In addition to the Praxic Blade crystals, players can also modify the blade’s attributes by progressing with a Syndicate. Note that each faction provides one type of mod, but this list focuses specifically on cosmetic options.
| Dark Matter Crystal Color | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Green/Blue | One is awarded randomly after Fire and Ice; the other drops from the Praxic’s Path post-campaign quest. | Praxic’s Path requires another run of Fire and Ice. |
| Red | Invasions in the Lawless Frontier. | Can reportedly drop even if you lose, but has a low drop rate. |

| Indigo | Lawless Frontier jobs on Europa. | |
| Magenta | Lawless Frontier jobs on Venus. | |
| Taken (Black) | Equilibrium dungeon. | |

Easiest Dark Matter Crystals to Obtain in Renegades in Destiny 2
When it comes to obtaining these crystals, luck plays a significant role, particularly for the variants not available in the Eververse Store. For instance, you might wonder how the black crystal performs in terms of RNG.
Have you considered invading other guardians to secure the Red Crystal? Keep in mind, however, that this method is heavily RNG-dependent. You might hit the jackpot on your first attempt or deplete your Deathmarks with no results. A daily contract for invasions awaits you, so pacing your attempts is wise.
As for the Yellow Crystal, while it may have a more favorable RNG, its acquisition is quite time-intensive. Running the Exotic orders can become Glimmer costly, though this route allows for retries. Upon securing the Praxic Professional order, you’ll need to complete its challenging criteria, which can sometimes be best tackled in the Thrall room in The Whisper.
Regarding the red Dark Matter Crystal, it’s likely that other customization options from the Lawless Frontier will drop towards the end of missions. Interestingly, items could also emerge from caches requiring a Keycard. After finishing the Legendary campaign, we were able to unlock a copy of Deimosuffusion, an enticing Warlock Exotic.
