Vexcalibur Exotic Glaive, Destiny 2
It is worth noting that Vexcalibur is craftable. As explained by Bungie:
- First completion of the mission on Normal or Legendary difficulty will award the Exotic Deepsight weapon associated with the mission.
- Each completion of the Normal or Legendary version of the Exotic mission will award an intrinsic upgrade that can be used when crafting the Exotic weapon.
- Each completion of the Legendary version of the Exotic mission will award a Catalyst upgrade for the crafted Exotic weapon.
Regarding the Legendary Armor and weapon rewards:
- Weekly mission rewards: One guaranteed Deepsight weapon that has not had its pattern unlocked and one armor piece that has not already been obtained.
- On every completion, you will receive an additional weapon from the mission’s weapon pool.
Note that Exotic Missions feature two difficulties, Normal and Legendary, and each will have separate weekly reward lockouts.

What is the Exotic Mission Rotator
Over the years, Bungie has added missions that carry specific exotic weapon rewards to Destiny 2. These typically are kept a secret until they’re discovered by the community in-game, making for a day almost as exciting as the release of a new raid.
The exotic mission rotator takes some of these missions from past years and puts them into a playlist. This playlist features one mission per week, granting unique rewards that reset every Tuesday.

Thank you for the info. Quick and easy to understand. Been looking on YouTube for how to unlock the intrinsic traits but none have been updated. I wish I had found this article quicker. It would have saved me 1.5 hours
