Quick Links
To encourage players to pre-order, developers will often provide some incentives for doing so. Sometimes it is early access, sometimes it is some extra cosmetic goodies or beta access (where applicable). In the case ofDestiny 2, players usually got some cosmetic rewards like emotes and emblems.
Starting with Lightfall,Destiny 2players who preordered either the Collector’s Edition or the Annual Pass Edition got an extra bonus in the form of early access to a powerful Exotic weapon.The Final Shapecontinuesthis trend by offering Tessellationas an incentive. After players have pre-ordered either of the two editions mentioned above, here is how players can claim their very own Tessellation.

How to Get Tessellation
Back during Year 5 ofDestiny 2, players who preordered either the Collector’s Edition or Annual Passgot Quicksilver Stormfrom Rahool. With the release of Season 22, players will no longer need to visit the infamous Cryptarch for their preorder bonuses. There is a new terminal to the right of Banshee-44 that players can interact with. This Special Delivery terminal is where players will go to get their preorder bonuses and Amazon Prime items as well.
Upon interacting with the terminal, players will see any rewards they are eligible to claim. After having pre-orderedThe Final Shape, players should see a list of items that they can take. One of these items will be Tessellation. Oddly, Rahool’s Secret Stash has been moved to the Special Delivery terminal as well.
What does Tessellation Do?
Tessellation is an Exotic Fusion Rifle with a unique effect. The damage type will match whatever subclass that players are using. Whether it is Arc, Solar, Void, Strand, or Stasis, Tessellation will match it.
While this may not seem like much, Tessellation also has another effect that makes it very useful. If players hold down the reload button while they have a fully charged grenade, Tessellation will consume the grenade. At this point, players will be able to activate the alternate firing mode for Tessellation. When active, it fires a bolt that is more like a roundfrom a Grenade Launcher. This creates a large explosion that can easily wipe out an entire group of enemies.
To trade off for losing a grenade charge, any kills made with this weapon will grant grenade energy so that it recharges faster. This can be improved further by havinga higher amount of Discipline.Currently, there is no catalyst for Tessellation, but it is likely that one will be added inThe Final Shapejust like how Quicksilver Storm got a catalyst onceLightfallwas released. If a catalyst is added, this guide will be updated accordingly.
Destiny 2is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
