In Destiny, we show you how to get all current exotic weapons in the Age of Triumph, Year 3: Locations of Exotics. If you want to know how to get a specific Exotic, here is the answer.
The Age of Triumph is the time when you can complete your collections in Destiny. In the new seal book, you will find a dedicated page on page 10, where one milestone states: “Exceptional Weapons.” For this, you must have collected a total of 55 exotic weapons.
But where can you find all these Exotics? For the Guardians who haven’t been following the MMO shooter since the beginning, it can be a great challenge to discover all the weapons and find their locations themselves. Here is an overview.
Overview of all exotic weapons from Year 2 and 3: Where to find the exotic weapons?
Most exotic weapons can be obtained from the “Common Sources.” This includes raids, the Nightfall strike, the Trials of Osiris, Xur, decrypting engrams, or the bounties from Lord Shaxx. If Xur doesn’t have the respective weapon in stock, you will have to rely on a random drop.
Note: In the Tower’s Vanguard Hall, you will find a collection of all your exotic weapons. There, you can check which ones you are still missing.
