Exotics are the flagship of Destiny 2. But how should Bungie handle the special items in the future? We want to know from you in a survey.
Exotics in Destiny: The Destiny universe is known for many things: excellent gunplay, a convoluted story, and its cult weapons. Almost every gamer around the world is familiar with terms like Gjallarhorn.
Exotics are the flagship in the arsenal of the loot shooter Destiny. In Destiny 2, there are currently almost as many Exotics as there were original Pokémon. 64 Exotic weapons and 81 Exotic armors are waiting to be used.
With every new season, like now with the Season of Worthy, the arsenal continues to grow. We wonder, what should happen to Exotics in the future?
4 Ways Destiny 2 Can Handle Exotics
For this reason, we have prepared a survey for you. In which you should decide how Bungie should handle the topic of Exotics in the future.
Option 1 – Bring back more old Exotics: In Destiny 1, there were a variety of powerful and popular Exotics, like the Gjallarhorn mentioned above. Some of the most famous weapons have already made their way to Destiny 2:
- The infamous poison injector Thorn
- The western revolver The Last Word
- The Whisper of the Worm (formerly known as the Spindle)
But the Guardians are not satisfied with that yet. We often read that your favorite Exotic from back then is still missing. So a nostalgic Titan asks:
Bring back Dämmerbruch Garrison please. Thanks.

Option 2 – New Exotics are needed: Some Guardians criticize that the content from Destiny 1 should remain in Destiny 1. Bungie should make Destiny 2 interesting with new and exciting Exotics.
In the community, there are many very creative ideas on how new Exotics could enrich the game. But also in the upcoming Season 10, there is fresh wind in exotic form:
Option 3 – Dusty Exotics need a polish: The exotic collection is bursting at the seams, at least that’s what DocGomer sees. He mentioned on Reddit that Bungie should rather use the energy to revise existing Exotics.
Many of the supposedly special weapons and armors are currently not particularly special. With a little love, the dusty items would shine in new glory. Destiny 2 seems to be following this example with Season 10, as 17 old exotic armors will be adjusted.
Option 4 – Masterwork Catalysts should fix it: Another way to keep Exotics interesting and fresh is represented by the Masterwork Catalysts. Through these items, existing Exotics are upgraded.
Each catalyst has a different effect:
- Stat values can be improved
- Existing abilities will be expanded
- Some Exotics even receive a new perk
In addition, unlocking the Masterwork Catalysts is tied to your own quests. It feels good when your favorite Exotic finally has its final form after hard work.
Currently, many weapons still do not have Catalysts, even though data miners have long identified corresponding entries. Armors generally do not have Catalysts at all.
