The Final Shape Exotic Weapons and Armor - Destiny 2 Guide - IGN (2024)

The Final Shape introduces six new Exotic weapons to earn, and a host of new Exotic armor pieces to collect across your Hunter, Titan, and Warlock. Included in those armor pieces are some brand new Exotic class items, which allow you to choose two Exotic perks already on other pieces of gear.

This page acts as a hub and breakdown of these Exotic weapons and armor pieces, with links to our other pages on how you can earn them for yourself.

The Final Shape Exotic Weapons

The majority of these Exotic weapons are tied to Exotic quests, which can be completed after you finish the expansion's main campaign. However, one or two are tied to a pre-order, the Season Pass, or completing the Salvation's Edge raid.

Tessellation

This Exotic fusion rifle is a bonus for anyone who purchased the deluxe edition of The Final Shape. If you didn't grab it, you can also upgrade on your storefront to get it. This weapon will match its damage type to your currently equipped grenade. You can also get extra grenade energy with each final blow with the weapon.

Red Death Reformed

Unlocked as a part of the Episode 1: Echoes Season Pass, everyone can grab it for free at rank 40. Those who have purchased the Premium track will get it right away.

This revamped version of the original Destiny Exotic weapon will cure you after each final blow, increasing your reload speed at the same time. Additionally, if you reload the gun after landing final blows, you will cure your nearby allies too. Cure prevents you from receiving any debuffs and also removes any you or your teammates have.

Ergo Sum

This Exotic sword is unique in a number of ways. Firstly. it can drop with several different perks and traits, as well as a variety of elemental damage affinities. Secondly, you can also farm the weapon twice a week to get these different rolls.

Before farming it, you can unlock Ergo Sum by completing the Destined Heroes Exotic quest, which unlocks after finishing The Final Shape's campaign.

Still Hunt

Still Hunt is an Exotic sniper rifle unlocked by completing the Wild Card exotic quest. This can be picked up from Cayde 6 after completing The Final Shape's campaign.

It is rather powerful, allowing you to fire three Golden Gun shots after you land enough headshots with it. Holding the reload button allows you to activate the three Golden Gun bullets, which deal significantly more damage than your regular shots.

Khvostov 7G-0X

After almost a decade, the Khvostov is back with this new Exotic variant in The Final Shape. Its perk, The Right Choice, means that every seventh bullet fired from the weapon will deal additional damage and ricochet to nearby targets.

To unlock the Khvostov 7G-0X you will need to first go on a scavenger hunt for several Encryption Bits in order to get the Legendary variant of the gun.

Microcosm

Micrcosm is the only new power weapon in The Final Shape. This Trace Rifle fires a beam of kinetic light which deals a high amount of damage to shields. It is the first kinetic power weapon in the game.

The Final Shape Exotic Armor

The Final Shape includes six Exotic armor pieces, two for each class. On top of that, the expansion adds in the three Exotic class items - one for Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans.

Wishful Ignorance

These Titan gauntlets allow you to gain an additional Frenzied Blade charge when using your Strand or Prismatic class with the Wish-Dragon's Talons perk. Using Frenzied Blade and Flechette Storm will then briefly increase in damage with each of your melee strikes.

Hazardous Propulsion

The Hazardous Propulsion chest for Titans includes the perk Danger Close. This will have a chance to load a kinetic Exodus Rocket when you land weapon precision hits or final blows. You can then fire these rockets by activating your class ability.

By damaging targets with Exodus Rockets, you can temporarily increase the damage you do with all other rockets - like a rocket launcher.

Stoicism

This Exotic class item for Titans allows you to choose the following perks in the first and second columns:

Gifted Conviction

This Exotic Hunter chest has the perk The Gift of Certainty. By activating the Ascension or Tempest Strike abilities as the class you will launch bouncing explosives at nearby targets that jolt and damage them.

Each target you jolt will give you increased damage resistance.

Balance of Power

The Balance of Power Exotic Hunter greaves has the perk Double Down. This will give your Threaded Specter ability increased durability and duration. Damaging it will release additional Threadlings, and while you are near it you do not appear on the radar, giving this armor some use in PvP.

Essentialism

The Hunter's Exotic class item has the following perks:

Speaker's Sight

This Exotic helmet for Warlocks allows you to wear The Speaker's mask and gain the perk The Lost Voice. This causes your healing grenades to spawn a restorative turret for you and your team. By healing allies, you can occasionally spawn an Orb of Power.

Mataiodoxia

The only new Exotic chest armor for Warlocks is Mataiodoxia. This comes with the perk, Stylostixis.

With this armor equipped, targets damaged by Arcane Needle emit a suspending detonation when defeated. Landing multiple Arcane Needles on the same targets immediately triggers a larger, more powerful detonation. Additionally, defeating suspended targets grants you melee energy.

Solipsism

The Exotic class item for Warlocks has the following perks:
