Exotics

There is a class of equipment beyond Legendary. Powerful and rare, they are known as Exotics. Scattered throughout the world of Destiny, these mighty relics offer abilities not found on any other equipment, with completely unique effects on both armor and weapons. Some effects on armor are specific to certain Classes and even to specializations.

You can find an Exotic via several different ways, but the important thing to know is that you can potentially find one almost anywhere in the game. You can earn Exotic Engrams from completing high-level Strikes, from PvP, from Raids, or from Faction reputation rewards.

You can buy some Exotics with Strange Coins, and you might even be lucky enough to stumble across an Exotic bounty, with a lengthy list of challenging tasks that you must complete to earn a guaranteed Exotic at the end.

Exotic abilities can prove to be the “capper” on a build, with an entire set of Class abilities, armor stats and upgrades, and weapons and their mods all working together to make you even more dangerous on the battlefield.
