Exotic Catalyst and Intrinsic Upgrades

Seraph’s Shield uses the same reward structure as the other Exotic Missions on rotation:

  • The first completion of the mission on Standard or Expert difficulty will award the Exotic Deepsight weapon associated with the mission.
  • Each weekly completion of the Exotic mission (any difficulty) will award an intrinsic upgrade that can be used when crafting the Exotic weapon.
  • Each completion of the Expert version of the Exotic mission will award a Catalyst upgrade for the crafted Exotic weapon.
  • 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. However, this weapon will have no knockout or guaranteed Deepsight behavior.

Note that Exotic Missions feature two difficulties, Standard and Expert, and each has separate weekly reward lockouts.

About Seraph’s Shield

Basically, a small-scale version of the Deep Stone Crypt raid, Operation: Seraph’s Shield was released with Season of the Seraph. This mission has Guardians venturing into a Braytech orbital platform above the Last City to rid it of Fallen forces.

This one is relatively mechanically complex but doesn’t have a timer, making it an enjoyable experience if you take your time. Revision Zero is the unique exotic you’ll get for completing Operation: Seraph’s Shield. Able to fire a two-round burst, four-round burst, or powerful sniper-like shots, this pulse rifle is truly a jack of all trades. It’s also craftable, allowing you to customize it to your liking.

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, new for Season 22, 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.

Before you go…

Don’t miss the many other Exotic Quests that are still in the game. Many of these are excellent and feature some of the best Exotic weapons in Destiny 2. Also, don’t forget to check out Vox Obscura, another Exotic Mission on rotation.

I've been covering gaming since 2012, and some of my work has been featured by large brands, including MSN.com, Forbes, Rock Paper Shotgun, and more. I've been obsessed with Destiny 2 (and now Diablo 4) for years now, and I hope to provide new and returning players with the guides and resources I wish I had when I first started.

    if u know how to sword fly/shatter skate/well skate it makes doing this mission a 1000 times easier I can run the entire mission in 25 minutes (sometimes faster just depends on the surge fr that week)
