Destiny 2 Exotics list - Every new Season of the Splicer Exotic weapon and Exotic armour we know so far

How Destiny 2 Exotics work

Exotics are yellow / golden class weapons and armour with unique perks and stats. These powerful and unique items have a catch; you are only be able to equip one Exotic at a time in your weapon or armour slots. (A good rule of thumb to follow is only one golden item can be equipped per side of the inventory screen.)

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

The most difficult and powerful Exotics will require you to unlock and complete specific quests, which in the past have involved many steps and in the case of one or two, elaborate ARG-style puzzles to solve.

If you've been playing Destiny 2 from the beginning, from Year 3, certain Exotics become time limited as their seasons came and went. Meanwhile, with the arrival of Beyond Light in November 2020, many Exotic quests were the vaulted alongside their respective destinations.

As a result, many Exotics are not available via their original sources, but Bungie has an answer with the arrival of Beyond Light - the Monument to the Lost Lights Vault, a terminal in the Tower where you can purchase lost Exotics. This, as well as the most recent Exotics, are listed on this page.

It's worth noting Exotics will never be sunset, meaning they can always be infused to the max level cap.

Also, certain Exotics can also be upgraded with Masterwork Catalysts, though finding them requires you to play certain activities and a dose of luck.

Destiny 2 Exotic weapons list, including new Season of Splicer Exotics

With the arrival of Year 4 and most recently the Season of the Splicer in May 2021, there are a new set of Exotics to find. Here are those confirmed so far:

Destiny 2 Season of the Splicer Exotic Weapons

Destiny 2 Season of the Chosen Exotic Weapons

Destiny 2 Beyond Light Exotic Armour

Destiny 2 Beyond Light and Season of the Hunt Exotic Weapons

Meanwhile, the Chaperone returns in a new quest. Though oriented for new players, it can be reacquired again if you already own it.

Destiny 2 Beyond Light Exotic Armour

* These unlock once you have completed the Lost Sector in question and reach the soft level cap. Then, check the Europa and Cosmodrome destinations map to see which offer a Legend or Master difficulty Lost Sector. These are Perdition, Bunker E15 and Concealed Void (Europa) and Exodus Garden 2A and Veles Labyrinth (Cosmodrome).

Then confirm the mission at the flag outside of the Lost Sector itself. If you run solo, there's a chance one of these Beyond Light armour pieces will drop.

Destiny 2's expired Exotic weapons available from the Monument to the Lost Lights Vault

In Year 3, certain Exotics become time limited as their seasons came and went. Meanwhile, with the arrival of Beyond Light in November 2020, many Exotic quests were the vaulted alongside their respective destinations.

As a result, many Exotics are not available via their original sources, but Bungie has an answer with the arrival of Beyond Light - the Monument to the Lost Lights Vault, a terminal in the Tower where you can purchase lost Exotics.

All require a range of hard-to-get currencies and materials, reflecting the difficulty in obtaining them in the first place.

Note, at launch, we have created the following table believing all 'missing' Exotics will appear in the Vault. We will verify in the days after release, but until then, here's a list of all Exotics no longer in the game, to give you an idea of what might be missing from your collection.
