In the MMO shooter Destiny, the DLC “House of Wolves” is coming, and since January there have been supposed details about the exotic items that are set to arrive. But are these really the right ones?
In January, data miners compiled a large jumble picture from the information available in the database, stating that these will be the legendary and exotic items of “House of Wolves”.
There were supposed to be 9 exotic armor pieces, three for each class. The first characteristics were already known. YouTubers immediately jumped on the data, releasing video series about it back in January: These are the exotic helmets, weapons, chest armors, boots, and gloves for Warlock, Titan, and Hunter.
The problem is and was: We have no idea whether these items will actually appear. The “legendary items” visible in the picture have not yet appeared in any of the demonstration videos. Players have seen completely different weapons here at Trials of Osiris, in the Prison of Elders, and also with the vendors of the Vanguard and Crucible than those shown in the January screen.
One thing spoke in favor of the leaks being correct so far. The Warlock helmet that was in the database is named: “The Ram” – Ram. And indeed, an exotic helmet from Bungie looked exactly like one would imagine a ram – with the curved horns. So it was thought: “Well, the exotic items seem to be correct.”
Last night, the Creative Director of Bungie introduced a new exotic helmet via his Twitter account, which is also set to come for “House of Wolves”: The Celestial Nighthawk.

The problem: The name of this helmet does not appear in the “old” leaks, but the design resembles the then Hunter helmet “ExoTac Angel Hunter.” At least if one can say that from the small exo pic in comparison to the finished design.
It seems then that there might really be something to those exotic items from back then, even though the details are not completely clear. It remains exciting.
