Once you have an Umbral Engram - or several - you’ll need to take it to the Prismatic Recaster in the Tower, near The Drifter. You also get a free Umbral Engram when you upgrade the Prismatic Caster, but we’ll get to that later. The Contact Public Event on Io also has a very high chance of rewarding you with an Umbral Engram.
You can earn Umbral Engrams from completing activities like Crucible matches or picking it up from random enemies, like a Prime Engram. There’s not much you can do with the Prismatic Recaster without Umbral Engrams, but these new items are very easy to stumble into.

Players will need to use a combination of materials - Twisted Energy, Altered Element, Trace Override - and two different machines - the Prismatic Recaster and the Umbral Decoder - to make this process work. Known previously as the Engram, players can pick up Umbral Engrams from any activity in the world and transform it into the kind of gear they want. In Destiny 2: Season of Arrivals, everything revolves around the new Umbral Engram.
