Know Your Gears: A Comprehensive Guide to The Final Shape’s Exotic Guns in Destiny 2 Part 1

The game currently has several exotic weapons that players can get, but most of them are connected to Exotic quests. Completing these quests is the only way to get these weapons. Well, not all can be acquired through the same process; a few exceptions are always there. So, a few Exotic weapons can be acquired by pre-ordering the game or through the Season Pass. Below, we have discussed the locations of some of the Exotic weapons in the game.

Microcosm

Microcosm is the first Heavy Trace Rifle introduced in Destiny 2, which does Kinetic, non-elemental damage. Precisely, this weapon fires a beam of kinetic light at enemies, dealing massive damage to shields. This will happen when players activate the Paracausal Beam Exotic Perk.

The weapon has another Exotic Perk to activate, Paracausal Imbuement. Once this perk is activated, killing enemies with Microcosm will charge your Super Bar. However, the acquisition process for the weapon is not simple. It requires players to complete the Convalescence: Budding Exotic mission.

Ergo Sum

Ergo Sum is an Exotic Sword and one of the most unique weapons to get in Destiny 2. Well, there are solid reasons why it is a unique weapon. The first reason among them is that this sword can roll randomly with multiple elements and take perks from any other weapon. The second reason is that players can farm this weapon twice a week to get different rolls.

Its only permanent Exotic Perk is Transcendent Duelist. However, the primary confusion about the weapon should be its location. This weapon can only be found by completing the Destined Heroes Exotic Quest. 

Tessellation

Unlike the previous two Exotic weapons, Tessellation is not for everyone. This Energy Fusion Rifle can only be acquired by those who have pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition of the expansion. The unique power of the weapon is that it can match the damage type of your currently equipped grenade. 

Additionally, whenever you use this weapon to launch a final blow on an enemy, it will provide players with extra energy. 

Red Dead Reformed

This Solar Pulse Rifle is a remake version of one of the most popular Destiny weapons, named Red Death. The reformed version has a few similar abilities to its base version, but the most interesting thing about this weapon is that it heals the user whenever it kills an enemy. Along with that, this weapon also increases the reload speed, making it an effective one. 

That’s not all. If you reload this weapon after beating an enemy with the Red Dead Reformed, your allies will also get healed. So, naturally, players will be curious about getting this weapon. Currently, players can unlock it through the Season Pass, and fortunately, it is free to grab at Rank 40.

Still Hunt

Still Hunt is a powerful Solar Sniper Rifle with three Exotic Perks. The first among them is Cayde’s Retribution. Activating this will help players charge Still Hunt’s Super meter with every Orb of Power they get or Precision Hits they land. Once the meter is full, players can shoot three Golden Gun Shots.

The second Exotic Perk is named Golden Munitions. Activating this perk will help players get extra ammo whenever they activate Golden Gun. The third and final Exotic Perk to remember is the Sharpshooter, which gives a substantial boost to target acquisition, aim-down sight speed, and flinch resistance of the players.

If you are eager to get your hands on this weapon, it will be found by completing the Wild Card Exotic mission.

Khvostov 7G-0X

If you are finding the name of the gun familiar, that’s natural, because Khvostov is one of the iconic weapons found in the Destiny series. The Exotic form of the weapon is introduced in The Final Shape, which comes with The Right Choice Perk to deal increased damage to the enemies with every seventh bullet fired. 

The Exotic Perk of the weapon is named Eyes Up, Guardian. This perk causes Orbs of Power to give a buff to your bonuses. If you are not sure about the acquiring process, let us tell you that this weapon can only be found once you go on a scavenger hunt and find different Encrypted Bits.

Wishful Ignorance

This Titan gauntlet comes with Wish-Dragon’s Talons Perk. So, whenever you wear these gauntlets, it will give Frenzied Blade and Flechette Storm Aspect a brief boost to the strikes. Along with that, the more you heal your allies, the more your Banner of War will return energy. 

If you are still unsure of the unlocking process, let me tell you that this piece will be acquired only by working with Rahool the Cryptarch. 

These are the first few Exotic Guns that Destiny 2’s latest expansion, The Final Shape, offers players. These are some of the best weapons that every Destiny 2 player should try to get to make their journey smoother.
