New Exotic Weapons in Destiny 2: Season of the Deep (S21)

Destiny 2 is all about chasing the latest and greatest loot. And for that reason, you can expect new weapons and armor to grab all the headlines at the launch of a new Season or DLC.

This page is here to help you keep track of all the new shiny loot, focusing on the most sought-after items in the game: Exotics. And if you’re interested in how Exotics rank compared to each other, our Exotics Tier list covers every Exotic weapon available in Destiny 2.

New Exotic weapons: Season of the Deep (S21)

Season of the Deep (S21) features one new Exotic, the Centrifuse Exotic Auto rifle:

Centrifuse (Auto Rifle)

Exotic Perk: “Sprinting, sliding, and firing this weapon builds a temporary electrostatic charge, increasing range and reload speed. Final blows with high charge cause explosions, and maximum charge explosions blind targets. Sprinting gradually reloads this weapon.”

How to get it: Centrifuse is available to all players as part of the Season Pass. Free-to-play Guardians can claim it at level 35. Season owners can claim at level 1.

Season 20 Exotic Catalysts

With Season of the Deep, we expect at least a few catalysts to be introduced to the game. Bungie usually releases at least one catalyst for an older Exotic, but we’ll have to wait a few more days of exploration before we can confirm this. Our database including the new Season of the Deep Catalysts will be updated as soon as possible:

Name	Type	Slot	Catalyst Rank	Catalyst Source	Available?	Requirements	Catalyst	Tier	Source ❘ DLC	How to unlock	Catalyst effect	Released
The Navigator	Trace Rifle	Kinetic	A › Strong	Ghost of the Deep Dungeon	Yes	Deluxe Edition	The Navigator | Trace Rifle	Strong ❘ A	Ghost of the Deep Dungeon Deluxe Edition	► Get 700 kills	► Adds Gordian Knot perk: Special reload and then fire to create a Grapple Tangle at the targeted point.	Season 21
Centrifuse	Auto Rifle	Energy	B › Average	Banshee-44's quest	Yes	Free-to-Play	Centrifuse | Auto Rifle	Average ❘ B	Banshee-44's quest Free-to-Play	► Get 700 kills	► Adds Static Buildup perk: While amplified, this weapon gradually gains overcharge.	Season 21

If you’re interested in more catalysts, this tier list features every Exotic Catalyst available in Destiny 2 (and tells you how to find them, unlock them, and what they do).

Season 21 Exotic armor

Every new season comes, in general, with a new piece of Exotic armor per class (full expansions, such as Lightfall, tend to include two pieces of armor per class). We cover all the new Exotic armor here.

How to get the new Exotics in Destiny 2

There are several ways to find Exotic weapons in Destiny 2. Some can be indefinitely farmed, while others are capped per season. This guide covers every single method to acquire Exotics in Destiny 2, old and new.

When it comes to finding the new Exotics, though, the methods to acquire them are much more limited, but at least they are direct and straightforward:

1. Completing Exotic quests

Quest Exotics: The most iconic exotics are often tied to Exotic quests of varying degrees of difficulty and length. Exotic quests are, for the most part, long and complicated, each deserving a good tutorial.

To get you started, you can head over to our comprehensive guide featuring every Destiny 2 exotic quest still available (including video guides).

2. Buying Exotics at The Monument to Lost Lights

The Monument to Lost Lights (aka, the “Exotics Kiosk”) offers Exotics weapons that were previously offered during past Season Passes or Exotic quests that are no longer available in-game.

You can read all about it in our Monument to Lost Lights guide, including the cost to acquire each Exotic and a complete tier list to help you decide what to get next.

3. Claiming Exotics from the Season Pass

The easier Exotics 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 ends.

4. Completing Raids and Dungeons

A select handful of exotics can only drop from raid bosses or dungeons. The most recent examples are the Conditional Finality from the Root of Nightmares raid and the Hierarchy of Needs from the Spire of the Watcher dungeon.

You can visit this guide for a detailed look at every loot table in the game, including raids, dungeons, Trials of Osiris, and more.

Before you go…

Not all Exotic weapons were created equal. Despite Bungie routinely buffing and nerfing specific Exotics every Season, some will always be superior. Therefore, some are more worth farming than others. To help you figure this out, we recommend checking our best PvE weapons and best PvP weapons roundups.
