Exotic weapons confirmed for Destiny 2 The Final Shape

New Exotic weapons in Destiny 2 The Final Shape

Tessellation – Exotic Fusion Rifle

The first Exotic confirmed for The Final Shape expansion is the Tessellation Fusion Rifle. As revealed on August 22 during the latest showcase, this is a completely unique weapon unlike anything else in Destiny 2 history.

Tessellation utilizes the subclass element you have equipped. Therefore, it’s the first weapon that allows for an all Strand or all Stasis build.

Furthermore, this Exotic comes with a nifty trick, allowing Guardians to consume their grenade in order to load up an explosive projectile that deals elemental explosion damage on impact.

Players can claim Tessellation for themselves by preordering The Final Shape & Annual Pass bundle.

Unnamed Auto Rifle

While not shown off during The Final Shape showcase, devs teased a new Exotic Auto Rifle on the way. One that lets you shoot at allies in order to heal them.

Unnamed Sidearm

Also teased early on was a mysterious Sidearm that seems to rely on Special Ammo in order to fire out small homing rockets.

Dragon’s Breath – Exotic Rocket Launcher

In the very early days of Destiny 1, Dragon’s Breath made its presence known as a Solar-based Rocket Launcher. While it wasn’t quite as popular as the Gjallarhorn, this pick excelled at area-of-effect damage, leaving behind a ring of fire after its initial impact.

Khvostov 7G-0X – Exotic Auto Rifle

When Guardians were revived at the beginning of Destiny, the very first weapon we all picked up was a broken Khvostov. A few years later, devs made the fantasy a reality by releasing an Exotic version of this Auto Rifle in Rise of Iron. Now, this customizable Exotic is set to return in The Final Shape. The original featured 108 possible Perk combinations.

Red Death – Exotic Pulse Rifle

One of Destiny’s most highly-regarded Pulse Rifles is making a comeback in The Final Shape. This incredibly powerful Exotic heals its user upon claiming a kill, while also boosting reload speed for a short period. Not only was it top-tier in PVP for it’s health-regen, but so too in PVE for ad-clear duty in endgame activities.
