Destiny 2 Vox Obscura Exotic Mission: Rotation & Loot

Season 22 introduced an excellent way to relive some of the best PvE content Destiny 2 has to offer: the Exotic Mission Rotator. This new system brings back beloved missions from past seasons while also sprucing them up with some enticing loot.

In this article, we cover one of these missions, Vox Obscura, including its rotation and rewards.

Vox Obscura Mission in Destiny 2

The Exotic Mission Rotator features three missions, including Vox Obscura, which change weekly at reset.

Art	Exotic Mission	Location	Power Level	Rewards	Requires
	Vox Obscura	Legends tab	1800	Loot Table	The Witch Queen

Vox Obscura Exotic Mission, Destiny 2

Vox Obscura came with Season of the Risen and has you and your fireteam storming a Cabal bunker on Mars. While this mission is timed, it has noticeably fewer mechanics than the other two featured in this playlist.

Completing Vox Obscura rewards Dead Messenger. This exotic wave frame grenade launcher can utilize all three Light elements, making for a great counter to missions with high elemental shield density.

Presage offers several rewards, including a craftable version of the Dead Man’s Tale Exotic and the armor set and weapons from Season 17:

🛑 Vox Obscura’s loot pool requires ownership of The Witch Queen or Season of the Risen.

It is worth noting that the exotic reward, Dead Messenger, is now 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. However, this weapon will have no knockout or guaranteed Deepsight behavior (the weapon can roll with Deepsight, but this would be on a random percentage chance).

Note that Exotic Missions feature two difficulties, Normal and Legendary, and each will have separate weekly reward lockouts.

Exotic Rotator Challenges

Last but not least, these Missions also feature specific challenges. These challenges are meant to test you and reward those who succeed with even more loot.

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.
