Shader

Shaders are items that change the color scheme of a Guardian's armor. Only one shader can be equipped at a time. Certain items may be entirely recolored when a shader is equipped, while others may only be partially recolored or may not be affected by shaders at all. A Guardian must be level 20 in order to equip a shader.

Shaders can be purchased from Eva Levante in the Tower, awarded for completing missions or Crucible matches, or mailed to the Guardian upon reaching a new reputation level with factions including Master Rahool. Certain shaders are unique rewards only available from temporary special event factions like The Queen's Wrath or Iron Banner.
