Destiny 2 Exotics are the most sought-after items in the game and their expansions, and that’s why we’ve created this Destiny 2 Exotics List. In this guide, you can see every exotic weapon and armor in Destiny 2 and all its expansions and seasons so far.
The Exotics are harder to get, with some being tied to exotic quests, they look better, and they have unique perks that will change your whole playstyle.
Exotics are the top of the line when it comes to gear, and you can only have one Exotic weapon and armor equipped at a time because of how their perks shake things up so significantly.
Some exotics may impact your build so much that they will have a game-changing interplay with your subclass or certain Legendary weapons.
Like Legendaries, Exotics can be upgraded into masterworks, but there are some differences because exotic weapons will require a special Exotic Masterwork Catalyst, which only drops under specific conditions that vary with each gun.
All Exotics can be infused, but they don’t take shaders, instead, they have special skins called ornaments, which you can get from Eververse.
* Also to unlock certain Exotic Armor pieces you will need to complete a Legend or a Master Lost Sector solo. These Lost Sector’s difficulties and rewards change every day on reset, and once you’ve earned them, they will then be added to the Exotic world pool.

These Lost Sector’s difficulties and rewards change every day on reset, and once you’ve earned them at least one time through the lost sectors, they will then be added to the Exotic world pool, which means that they will start to drop randomly anywhere if you are lucky.
Another thing to note is that you will also have the option to get one of the Witch Queen Exotic armors when you complete the Witch Queen campaign on Legendary difficulty.
Once you’ve completed the Legendary campaign, go speak with Ikora on Mars near the Enclave, and she will give you the option to choose between the two Exotic armors depending on which class you are playing.
