Destiny 2: The 7 Best Exotic Weapons and How to Get Them

von Sven Galitzki

We will now show you what their names are, what they look like, how you find them, and what special perks the weapons have.

What can the 5 new exotic weapons do?

Only three of the five weapons are truly “new”. The other two weapons will surely be recognized by Destiny 1 veterans.

Scharlach – The “Red Death” Hand Cannon

Scharlach resembles the “Red Death” Pulse Rifle from Destiny 1. It is a Kinetic Hand Cannon.

The perks:

• Banned Weapon: Scharlach fires a salvo of three shots when you pull the trigger (like a pulse rifle)
• Cruel Remedy: Kills with this weapon heal you. Precision kills refill the magazine.

The perks also remind of the Red Death.

You can obtain Scharlach randomly from any sources that can drop exotic engrams. It is likely that Xur will have it too.

The Colony – A Grenade Launcher with Spider Robots

This is the grenade launcher that already made waves in trailers for Curse of Osiris. Because The Colony fires robot spiders that track the enemy.

The perks:

• Insectoid Robot Grenades: The grenades of this weapon are insect-like robots that chase targets and explode when they get close.
• In Service of the Colony: Insectoid robot grenades quickly refill ammunition reserves while the weapon is unequipped.

You can obtain The Colony randomly from any sources that can drop exotic engrams. It is likely that Xur will have it too.

Prometheus Lens – The Second Trace Rifle

So far, there has only been one trace rifle in Destiny 2: Cold Heart. With the Prometheus Lens, a second trace rifle is now added. It deals Solar damage.

Here are the special perks:

• Prismatic Inferno: Fires a solar beam and generates a damaging heat field that grows as the weapon is continuously fired.
• Flame Refraction: Kills with this weapon return a portion of the used ammunition to the magazine, extending the duration of the beam.

You can obtain the Prometheus Lens randomly from any sources that can drop exotic engrams. It is likely that Xur will have it too.

Jade Rabbit – What can the Scout Rifle do in Destiny 2?

The Jade Rabbit was a PlayStation-exclusive weapon in Destiny 1 for years. Now, the scout rifle is available on Xbox and has been available on all platforms in Destiny 2 since Curse of Osiris. It is an exotic kinetic weapon.

The perks:

• Fate of All Fools: Chains body shots to grant bonus damage on the next precision shot. It also returns ammunition to the magazine.
• Zen Moment: When you deal damage with the weapon, stability increases.

You can obtain the Jade Rabbit randomly from any sources that can drop exotic engrams. It is likely that Xur will have it too.

Telesto “the besto” Returns – What can the Fusion Rifle do now?

Telesto already existed in Destiny 1, where it earned the nickname “Telesto the besto”. In Destiny 2, the fusion rifle makes its return.

These are the perks:

• Unplanned Grace Period: Fusion projectiles stick and detonate with a delayed Void explosion.
• Pulse of the Herald: Multi-kills with this weapon instantly reload the equipped kinetic and energy weapons from reserves.

You can obtain Telesto randomly from any sources that can drop exotic engrams. It is likely that Xur will have it too.

If more exotic weapons appear, we will report on them and update this article.
