🛑 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.
Note that Exotic Missions feature two difficulties, Normal and Legendary, and each will have separate weekly reward lockouts.
About Vox Obscura
Vox Obscura was released 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 some of the other Missions 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.
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 Presage, another Exotic Mission on rotation.
