One of the key features introduced to Destiny 2 with its most recent expansion has been the Strand subclass, though fans are disappointed about having to unlock the subclass' individual aspects and fragments separately for each character that they've made. While Destiny 2's developers have made some tweaks to Strand since the expansion launched, the DLC has left much to be desired in the eyes of frequent players.

Strand is the fifth subclass to be introduced to Destiny 2, offering the ability to traverse the world like never before through the use of grapples as well as destroy foes in a variety of new ways. Each of the three classes gets a slightly different flavor of Strand due to the unique abilities that they receive, with unique super abilities, aspects, and melee abilities allowing every class to fill a certain niche role with Strand. Bungie has made some changes to the accessibility of Strand since the launch of Destiny 2: Lightfall, making certain fragments available ahead of their initially-planned release with the Root of Nightmares raid.

Strand's design shares the same depth that has been brought to the Light subclasses in Destiny 2 over the past year with the subclass 3.0 system, but unlocking Strand's abilities has proven to be a much more tedious task for fans. One fan on Reddit with the username Arcturus1800 sums up the complaints of many fans with regard to this system, sharing a post on the site which urges the developers to make Strand's fragments and aspects unlocked on all of a player's characters after they have been purchased once. As it is currently, each Strand power from grenades to fragments requires Strand Meditations to unlock, with each power needing to be purchased once per character instead of once per account.

While Strand Meditations can be earned in varying amounts by doing almost any activity on Neomuna or with Strand equipped, players have also noticed that they will stop earning Strand Meditations on a character after earning a certain amount. This means that while Strand Meditations can be spent from a pool shared across all characters on an account, players will likely have a harder time obtaining them if they exclusively play one character.

Many fans are disappointed that Bungie hasn't made some of these requested adjustments since the community backlash that Stasis received with Destiny 2: Beyond Light, which restricted players to unlocking only 2 fragments per week via quests. While Strand generally is a bit easier to progress with, fans remain hopeful that Bungie will apply much of the feedback that the community has provided in response to Destiny 2's latest expansion.

Destiny 2 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
