Destiny 2 offers weapons and armor for players to add to their arsenal. The rarest of these are called Exotics. Exotics have unique perks, operating differently from their Legendary brethren. Players can equip only one piece of Exotic armor and one Exotic weapon at a time.
Exotics vary in their acquisition. Bungie locked some behind hard quests, ot hers behind events, and most behind random loot drops.
Exotics can be sourced in a number of ways:
- Decrypting Exotic Engrams
- Random rewards from Public Events, chests, Crucible matches and other activities
- Special vendors, such as Xur
- Specific quests and missions
- Bright Engrams (for cosmetic Exotic items)
- Increasing your drop rate with Three of Coins
