Obtaining the Strand subclass is actually a very simple task. To unlock Strand, all you need to do is to complete the Lightfall campaign. Depending on your skill level, this should take anywhere from 5-7 hours to complete.

Once you’ve completed it, then go and speak with Nimbus, who will direct you to the Pouka pond in the Hall of Heroes. From there, meditate at the podium, and the Strand subclass will be unlocked, allowing you to use it whenever and wherever you like in the game.

However, you should note that you will only have the basic skeleton of the subclass, as you’ll need to unlock the rest of the fragments that are used for it in future updates. Currently, most of the Strand fragments are time-gated, with some releasing next week on March 7, while the rest will be available after The Root of Nightmares raid releases on March 10. With a little bit of patience, the Strand subclass will be ready to use in full in the near future.

That’s everything you need to know on how to unlock Strand in Destiny 2. Be sure to check out our latest Destiny 2 guides, like how to open Rahool’s Secret Stash, and more below.
