In Destiny 2, we provide an overview of all Exotics from Shadowkeep and Season 8 that we already know. We summarize exotic weapons and armor.
Which Exotics are known? In the weeks and months leading up to the Shadowkeep release, quite a bit of gameplay material for the upcoming fall expansion was shown. This happened in the form of livestreams, gameplay trailers, or “leaks” from Guardians who secretly took photos at gaming events.
Recently, we got glimpses of new Exotics that will come into play with Shadowkeep or the new Season 8, the Season of the Undying,. We now present them to you in overview.
Monte Carlo – exotic auto rifle
What is Monte Carlo? The Monte Carlo was an exotic auto rifle in Destiny 1 that will return in Destiny 2. It can be seen in the gameplay trailer:
It is not known what perks the Monte Carlo will have in Destiny 2. In Destiny 1, it was a close-range weapon because the damage it dealt reduced the melee cooldown.
In Year 1 of Destiny 1, this weapon with the bayonet was a PlayStation-exclusive weapon.
In Destiny 2, it is a kinetic weapon that will be available during the Season of the Undying. This is shown in the icon in the following screenshot:
Deathbringer – exotic rocket launcher
This is Deathbringer: This rocket launcher has been seen multiple times and has been referred to as “Void Gjallarhorn”. Here’s what it looks like:
The Deathbringer deals Void damage and has one rocket in the magazine. Its exotic perk is called Dark Deliverance:
- It fires projectiles that release void orbs on enemies. When you release the fire button, they explode.
Additionally, there’s the perk “Dark Descent”:
- The longer the void orbs fall, the more powerful the explosion.
The spectacle looks like this:
In a screenshot of the Deathbringer, the Shadowkeep icon can be seen. This exotic will thus come with Shadowkeep.
Leviathan’s Breath – exotic bow
This is Leviathan’s Breath: This is an exotic heavy bow:
It is known that this bow will only be available through the Season Pass for Season 8. There is supposed to be a new weapon quest. In the end, you will receive the exotic.
We do not yet know the perk. However, it was shown in a ViDoc that the bow “pushes” opponents from where the arrow hits.
Eriana’s Vow – exotic hand cannon
This is Eriana’s Vow: We know very little about this weapon. It is likely the hand cannon in these screenshots:
It is known that you can also get this exotic through the new season pass system. If you pay for the season pass, you’ll get the weapon at rank 1. On the free reward track, the weapon is available at rank 35.
Gameplay material shows that Eriana’s Vow has a burn effect. Enemies take explosion damage – but you also start to “burn” if you fire the weapon for too long.
Exotic machine gun with unknown name
What kind of exotic is this? With Shadowkeep comes an exotic machine gun with an unknown name. However, we know its appearance and perk:
The MG deals Solar damage. The exotic perk is called Pyrotoxin Rounds. This allows the MG to fire explosive rounds with high power. It is supposed to play similarly to a linear fusion rifle.
A particular feature of this weapon is that it is supposed to be powered by an alien insect creature:
Divinity – exotic trace rifle
This is Divinity: Divinity is the last known exotic weapon in this overview. It is the confirmed raid exotic from the new Shadowkeep raid.
Divinity deals Arc damage and has 194 rounds in the magazine. The exotic perk is called Judgement:
- Consistent damage from this weapon envelops the target with a force field that weakens and stuns enemies.
Another perk is called Penance:
- If enemies suffer long enough under the Judgement effect, they take damage.
Assassin’s Cowl – exotic hunter helm
The exotic perk causes you to become invisible and slightly replenishes health and shields when you defeat a Guardian with a melee attack or take down an enemy with a finishing move.
Phoenix Cradle – exotic titan leg armor
The exotic perk is not fully readable in this screenshot. However, the exotic has to do with a longer-lasting Sun Warrior bonus and sunspots. Allies also benefit when they walk through the spots – so it is an exotic for solar titans.
Stormdancer’s Brace – exotic warlock chest armor
The exotic perk causes every enemy you defeat with the Stormtrance Super to increase the damage you deal with Stormtrance. It is thus an exotic tailored to the Stormcaller.
This Warlock exotic has been joked about by many Guardians.
Which new exotic do you find most interesting?
