Exotic class items are making their first appearance in Destiny 2 with The Final Shape and they’re much more powerful than their Destiny 1 counterparts. Each class’ Exotic class item rolls with two random perks which have been lifted directly from other Exotic armor pieces. These unique bits of gear will make the Prismatic subclass even more powerful and because they’re random rolls, you’ll want to spend some time farming them.

How to get Exotic class items

Exotic class items are now available from the Dual Destiny mission. You will get one Exotic class item each time you complete the mission (yes, it is farmable). Alternatively, after beating it once, any chest you open on the Pale Heart has a rare chance to drop an Exotic class item. Be sure to check out the linked guide for help clearing this mission quickly and easily.

Exotic class item perks

Each class will have its own Exotic class item to unlock with their own pool of unique perks (except for six perks that are shared). The Exotic class item will only be active while you are using a Prismatic subclass. Take a look at our guide on all Classes, subclasses, and perks for more information.

As you can see, each column contains eight possible Exotic perks, which means there are 64 possible combinations. Acquiring the exact one you want is going to take a bit of time. It’ll be good to have a couple of different options as Prismatic allows for quite diverse builds.

Be sure to refer back to this list of all Exotic class item perks as you’re out there farming for your next drop (or even planning out your next Prismatic build). You’ll find more guides for The Final Shape, upcoming Episodes, and endgame content over on our Destiny 2 Strategy Guide.
