Destiny 2 Precious Scars: Top Build & How to get

Precious Scars is one of the handful of Exotics that received significant buffs with the release of Season of the Wish (S23). The update looked good on paper, but now that we’ve got our hands on it, we can confidently say Precious Scars is now a top-tier Exotic.

Today, we’ll go through how to acquire this Titan Exotic and use it to assemble one of the best Titan builds in Destiny 2.

How to get Precious Scars in Destiny 2

As Precious Scars is an Exotic from Beyond Light, you can only acquire it when farming Legend Lost Sectors or Vex Strike Force events. 

Legend or Master Lost Sectors will be your most straightforward path, as each day offers a specific armor slot (Legs, Arms, etc), thereby having the smallest pool to pull from. Vex Strike Force can be more efficient as it works on a knockout system. After getting a Precious Scar for the first time, you can farm it at Rahool by focusing Exotic engrams.

After reviving or being revived, you gain an aura that provides overshields to you and nearby allies."
