The Desert Perpetual New Exotic

Whirling Ovation, Destiny 2

The Desert Perpetual features an exclusive Exotic weapon, the Whirling Ovation Rocket Launcher.

Whirling Ovation

Exotic Perks:

• Coronal Culmination: Hold to charge; release to fire. Charged projectiles have a delayed Solar payload.
• Anticipation: The charge speed of this weapon’s next shot slowly increases over time. Anticipation builds more quickly as you deal more damage with other weapons.

Whirling Ovation only drops from The Desert Perpetual’s final boss. Although we prefer more deterministic Exotic quests that are not connected to RNG, you can complete specific triumphs that, when completed, increase your chances of earning this Raid Exotic. We cover how to get Whirling Ovation here.

Name: Whirling Ovation

Is The Desert Perpetual farmable?

As the newest Raid in Destiny 2, The Desert Perpetual is not part of the Featured raid rotation. This means the Raid Exotic can only be farmed once per character per week.

The rest of The Desert Perpetual loot, including its Legendary weapons and armor, can be farmed for unlimited loot. This is how you can farm raids in Destiny 2, including The Desert Perpetual:

1. Go through the raid on your first character until you reach the encounter you want to farm.
2. Start the encounter and wipe (i.e., die without beating it).
3. Ask your Fireteam to wait. Change characters and log into a character that hasn’t run the raid that week.
4. On that second character, join your Fireteam again.
5. Wipe again. Now your second character has the proper checkpoint.

And that’s it. You’ll then be able to farm that encounter ad nauseam until reset! To continue farming, you’ll need to:

1. Launch the raid using your second character (the one that is holding the checkpoint).
2. Change characters and rejoin your Fireteam on your first character.
3. Complete the encounter for loot.
4. Exit the raid, switch characters again, and repeat Step 1.

Before you go…

Are you looking forward to farming more top-tier loot from Destiny 2’s endgame activities? You should definitely consider farming Sundered Doctrine’s Loot Table, D2’s latest dungeon.
