Destiny 2 Exotic Mission Rotator: Schedule and loot table this week
The Exotic Mission Rotator returns in The Final Shape, with the fan favorite weekly activity avoiding the content vault. Here’s everything you need to know about the Exotic Mission Rotator in Destiny 2, including how it works, this week’s schedule, and what loot is up for grabs.
Throughout its numerous seasons, Destiny 2 has introduced hundreds of seasonal weapons, with some being top-tier options that new players can’t reasonably acquire. It can be frustrating knowing you missed out on powerful guns like Retrofit Escapade, IKELOS_SMG, and Bump in the Night.
Thankfully, Bungie implemented a solution to this problem in Season 22. Known as the Exotic MIssion Rotator, this weekly activity lets players earn enhanced versions of vaulted Exotic weapons and old seasonal guns alike.
With that said, here’s everything you need to know about the Exotic Mission Rotator in Destiny 2 The Final Shape.
What is Exotic Mission Rotator in Destiny 2?
The Exotic Mission Rotator is a weekly activity first added in Season of the Witch, where players can complete and farm old Exotic quests for various rewards.
These rewards include craftable variants of returning Exotics, a range of old seasonal guns that were not farmable before this activity, and even Red Border drops for many desirable craftable Legendary weapons.
Each week will see a different Exotic Mission featured with each mission having its own unique loot and craftable Exotic up for grabs.
How to access Exotic Mission Rotator in Destiny 2
You can access and play old Exotic missions by selecting the Destinations tab, Legends, and finally clicking the featured weekly Exotic quest.
The only requirement to start each mission is to either own the respective expansion or season connected to the associated Exotic weapon.
