Strand Fragments
Strand Fragments are Fragments that can be unlocked on the Strand subclasses: Berserker (Titan), Threadrunner (Hunter), and Broodweaver (Warlock).
Overview
Strand Fragments can be purchased with Strand Meditations at the Pouka Pond in the Hall of Heroes on Neptune after completing the Lightfall campaign on any difficulty. Strand Fragments must be purchased separately on each character, and do not carry over between them.
Equipping Strand Aspects will unlock slots where Strand Fragments can be equipped. However, unlike Aspects, Fragments are not unique to specific classes. Fragments can only be equipped in a single slot per character. It is not possible to equip multiple copies of a Fragment on a single character in order to stack additional stat bonuses.

Notes
- At the launch of the Lightfall expansion, some Strand Fragments had restrictions preventing players from purchasing them. On March 2, 2023, Bungie announced that these restrictions would be removed, allowing all Strand Fragments to be purchased immediately after unlocking the subclass.[1] They became available later that day.[2] The original restrictions were as follows:
- Ascent, Finality, Fury, Mind, Warding, and Wisdom were locked until the player purchased the Aspects and Fragments that were used during the Lightfall campaign. Out of these six Fragments, only one was initially available for purchase, varying depending on the player's class.
- Evolution, Propagation, Rebirth, and Transmutation were locked until March 7, the start of Week 2 of the Season of Defiance.
- Binding, Continuity, Generation, and Isolation were locked until the World First completion of the Root of Nightmares raid.
