New Dark Matter abilities and upgrades revealed for Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate 

The new Dark Matter abilities will play into how a Destiny 2 player explores and counters the terrains of Kepler in The Edge of Fate. These abilities, however, are exclusive to the new region and can be upgraded into something far more lethal than their default state. Note that the Dark Matter comes with two primary skills, as revealed by Bungie so far, including the Matterspark and Mattermorph.

With the developer live stream that took place on June 24, both of these abilities were showcased with multiple tunings, including increased combat capabilities, utilities, and other enhancements.

This article lists those upgrades ahead of the official launch, providing players an idea of what to expect from the open world.
