[toc] Exotics, in general, are some of the most sought-after items in the entire game. It’s only natural that chasing and farming Exotics is an important part of the Destiny experience.
There are several ways to acquire Exotics in Destiny 2. Some are locked behind specific activities, such as Raids or specific quests, but most Exotics can be earned through Exotic engrams.
What is an Exotic Engram?
Exotic engrams are rare items you can earn after completing an activity or encounter. Exotic engrams can be decrypted into either an Exotic weapon or armor piece, but unlike Umbral or Prime engrams, they will decrypt automatically and transform into a random Exotic as soon as you claim it.
How do they work?
Exotic engrams are not entirely random anymore. They now feature a light “bad luck” protection system which prioritizes items you haven’t earned before. This is how it works:
- Exotic engrams will automatically decrypt into an Exotic weapon or armor you have never earned before
- If you have already found every Exotic in the loot pool, Exotic Engrams will decrypt into a random Exotic armor piece with a random roll
This means that chasing Exotic engrams is the best method to find a specific Exotic weapon. If you’re looking for, say, Trinity Ghoul, each Exotic engram you earn will bring you closer to finding it thanks to this back luck protection.

One of the best sights in the game…

How to farm Exotic Engrams
There are several ways to obtain Exotic engrams in Destiny 2:
1. Claiming Exotic engrams from the Season Pass
The easier Exotics engrams available to you can be found in the Season Pass. Both the Paid and Free tracks of the Season Pass offer a handful of Exotic engrams. All you need do is earn the XP to unlock them before the season is over. There are 8 Exotic engrams in total, including both free and paid tracks.
2. Vendor rank resets
Ever since Bungie reworked the different Vendors in the Tower, they have now become a consistent, albeit grindy, method to acquire Exotic engrams. Gambit and Vanguard ranks are notoriously long and tiring to earn, but Crucible and Trials of Osiris are much faster to complete, especially when Bonus ranks weeks are active.
4. Farming Nightfall: The Ordeals
Technically, Exotic engrams randomly drop whenever you play the game, no matter the activity. That said, some activities do offer much higher chances to earn Exotics, namely Nightfall: The Ordeals. The higher the difficulty, the higher the chances to earn Exotics.
2. Visit Xûr every Friday
Finally, every weekend, Xûr offers 1 Exotic engram, 1 weapon and 3 armor pieces (one per class). These are all from the Exotic Engram loot pool, and visiting Xûr every weekend will help you complete the collection significantly faster.
