The Destiny 2 Facet of Command Fragment is quite an ordeal to unlock compared to the others, requiring you to blow up ice piles, then dunk some elemental charges to charge two generators. The main things to be aware of for this Destiny 2 puzzle are that the ice piles can only be destroyed with a secret Scorch Cannon, and that the elemental charges they drop must be deposited into the generators in a specific way to ensure they both end up fully charged. I've laid out all the necessary steps and the locations of each of the ice piles to help you unlock the Facet of Command in Destiny 2 as quickly and easily as possible.

The Prismatic chest holding the Facet of Command Fragment can be found in the Cosmodrome wall section of the Divide, specifically in the large room where there is a wall made of square panels, lots of containers strewn about, and the jumpship suspended from the ceiling is nearby.

To get there quickly, travel to the Impasse landing zone and then head back through the Cosmodrome wall. While running along with path, you'll come across the Lost Encryption Code chest which you need to unlock using Lost Encryption Bits get the Exotic Khvostov in Destiny 2.

Keep running through the wall as though you're doing the Ascent mission in Destiny 2 The Final Shape but backwards, and you'll eventually reach the correct area. The chest for this Destiny 2 Prismatic Fragment will be behind a girder on the right near the far walkway, though you need the Divided Prismatic Key to unlock it.

To get the key for the Facet of Command, you need to power up to two secret generators using elemental charges, but you get these charges from those seemingly indestructible ice piles. Here's what to do:

  1. Start by jumping through the large gap in the square panel wall mentioned earlier to reach a secret room and you should spot a Fallen console that you can activate to transmat a Scorch Cannon.
  2. Fire the Scorch Cannon at the ice piles surrounding two Fallen generators in the same secret room so that you can deposit charges into them.
  3. Now you need to go around the Cosmodrome wall interior looking for seven ice piles to destroy to reveal the necessary elemental charges. I've listed all their locations further down!

  1. Once you've destroyed the ice piles, you need to grab the elemental charges, take them to the generators, and plug them in. Because each generator has 10 power segments to fill and the Arc, Solar, and Void charges provide differing amounts of power, you need to plug them in a specific way: plug two Void Charges and one Arc Charge into one generator and then two Solar Charges and two Arc Charges into the other. If done correctly, you'll see the message, "you will drown in the deep".
  2. Fight the Dread, including a Subjugator of Control Omen boss. The boss drops the Divided Prismatic Key, so pick it up and unlock the chest to finally get the Facet of Control.

There are seven ice piles found throughout the Cosmodrome wall area of the Divide that you need to destroy using the Scorch Cannon to reveal either a Solar, Arc, or Void Charge. Here's where to find them:

  1. In the same room as the Scorch Cannon.

  1. From the room you started in, head down the walkway on the left, then jump over to the platforms on your right. Go to the far end of these platforms and you'll spot an ice pile on an upper gantry to the right.

  1. Go back to the walkway and carry on going down the corridor. Eventually you'll reach an ice pile on the left.

  1. From the area where the chest is, go down the opposite corridor towards the Impasse and you'll quickly find an ice pile under the hanging jumpship.

  1. Carry on down the corridor until you reach the large room where you fought the Taken Hydra boss in the Ascent mission and head in the smaller room on the left. There's an ice pile in there.
