Destiny's upcoming Rise of Iron expansion will mark a return to the golden age of Guardian color coordination, Bungie game director Chris Barrett has confirmed. Class armor will no longer be immune to the color-altering effects of shaders once the expansion arrives on September 20.
Once upon a time, equipping a shader in Destiny would change the color of all your non-gun equipment (except some wily Exotics) - i think its a nice little touch back into the game.
