- What are shader previews?
-
Shader previews are our attempt at providing a hint of what shaders actually look like in-game beyond the limited colors presented in their API icons.
- Where can I find them?
-
When you open any shader's item detail page, a new section will now appear with its Shader Preview, if it is among those we have completed.
A smaller preview also appears in the hover tooltip when mousing over/tapping shader icons on the site, like this:

- I play a Titan or Warlock. Why are all the previews of a Hunter?
-
Statistically, Hunters are the most popular class in the game, so we chose to use a Hunter in basic starting gear as the baseline for the preview.
Should this feature prove popular, we will look into generating previews for Titans and Warlocks as well.
- Why are there only previews on some shaders?
-
These are generated using the in-game collections feature, and some shaders only display there if you have already collected them.
- I have a shader in my collection that doesn't have a preview. How can I contribute?
-
You can contribute shaders we're missing by going through these steps (PC Client):
- Ensure your game resolution is set to 1920x1080.
- Make sure your game is set to either Fullscreen or Windowed Fullscreen.
- Log in to a Hunter
- Bring up your character select screen (usually by hititng F1)
- Equip the full Scavenger Suit armor set. You should be able to print this out from your Collections.
- Equip a Khvostov 7G-02. You should be able to print this out from your Collections.
- Go to Collections > Flair > Shaders
- Right click to the shader you want to screenshot.
- Move your cursor out of view.
- Hit the Print Screen button on your keyboard
- The game will put a banner across the bottom of the screen describing where it has saved the screenshot.
- Join our Discord Server.
- Paste the screenshot into the #shader-previews channel.
- What do I get for contributing?
-
Anyone who contributes 10 screenshots will receive a month of ad-free browsing. No, this does not stack 😉
- How do I know which shaders don't have previews?
-
Here's a list of the ones we're missing, if you would like to contribute:
