Ahab Char (Allergic to Shaders)
Am I the only person who thinks that weapons like the Ahab Char—that refuse to take a shader without looking like paint is missing in several places—looks like garbage or is this way more popular than I realize and I’m in the minority? Why do they make weapons like this!?

1 ReplyThe Mad Monk Shader ignores the texture the weapon has. It's pretty solid if you like the shader.

Edited by Guardian,Archon Of Light: 8/16/2025 6:17:07 AMYeah It's 450 cousins winter wolf and werewolf have the same problem I get some people like the worn and used look on thier guns, but in a world where our ghosts can matirealize anything just about, why would he not keep our gear in prestine shape, including repainting after every fight, maybe he has ocd about it

With everything else wrong with the game a shadder is the least of my worries.

Why do they make weapons like this!?[/quote] It's about time someone sid something about the shaders. With both armour and weapons most shaders just dont look good. It's too hard to tell by the shaders thumbnail what its gonna look like, there's no way to know without scrolling through and trying each shader, until you start to memorise them. Secondly, you'll put a shader on your armour or gun and it doesn't work for some of it. You'll get a great looking chest but the helmet is using a completely different colour from the shader, and different from the chest. Why do bungie hate us customising our armour? Why don't they like helmets? What's so wrong with having our entire guardian looking like all of our gear matches? They're fun sponges thats why. Any little single way they can annoy you into doing something that they want, they'll do it. They don't want a matching helmet to your set, because they want you to spend more time playing their game jumping through pointless hoops so you'll find a helmet that does match. From another set. Also, helmet sizes. Why are some so damn big? I spoke about helmets too much didn't I? My bad. It's a personal hatred of mine that they've done for years.

My favorite auto rifle at the moment that has me in love with using Solar Warlock. Last time I even considered Solar Warlock was Jurassic Green which is underrated in many regards. Gun would be S tier if it had more range. Anyways try out these shaders on your Ahab Char; Oiled Gunmetal, Chlorophyta, Dreadful Symmetry, Cruelty Song, Graffik, and Necrostatic. Some of these have visual movement or make the painted styling work.

It uses the braytech model, ah I disliked it severely because it shades so terrible
-
1 ReplyThat's due to the edge wear mask texture the rifle model uses. Some shaders ignore the edge wear, while others don't.

2 RepliesPrimer should work if you just want to clean it up. Not ideal usually if you aren’t a huge fan of the look. The tier 5 one looks decent tho. Kinda does give it the look of something that got launched through time.

1 Replyhave you tried jacarina shader?
-
Primer makes it a solid color at least... but yeah shaders been wacky the entire time. I vaguely remember them explaining what causes it, but we pretty much deal with this, so that shaders like photo finish ( just an example ),can do what it do.
