Destiny Rising Exotic weapons are in high demand, as they have always represented the pinnacle of weaponry across the series by providing high damage output and rare traits, as well as acting as a status symbol for the player wielding them. There are plenty of these 6 star rarity weapons available, but tracking them down can be a challenging process. To help you out with that, here are the different ways you can get Exotics in Destiny Rising, as well as a complete list of the Exotics available so far.

How to get Exotics in Destiny Rising

Earning Destiny Rising Exotics via the 14-Day Log-In

There are three main routes for obtaining Exotic weapons in Destiny Rising, with the first (and easiest) being to complete the 14-Day Sign In event by logging in each day. On both Day 7 and Day 14 you'll receive an Exotic Choice Engram, and each lets you pick one of three Exotics: Borealis, Crimson, or The Huckleberry.

The second way to get Destiny Rising Exotics is to earn them through the seasonal Battle Pass, and while those who purchase the Premium Battle Pass will get them quicker (currently level 10) it's still possible to earn Exotics on the free-to-play track if you complete it all the way to level 50. In the opening season Furies III is available via this route, so do what you can to keep your progress moving before the pass expires on October 9.

The third and final way to earn Exotics in Destiny Rising is to complete end-game activities to receive Exotic Weapon Engrams, though you'll need to finish most of the Main Story missions to reach that point. Once Chapter 4-2 and the Armageddon mission have been beaten, you'll have access to the Gauntlet Ops and Legendary Campaign modes where completed activities provide Exotic Weapon Engrams as rewards.

Targeting specific Exotic weapons from this list can be tricky, as obtaining a majority of them involves getting lucky with an Exotic Weapon Engram and earning a character who can actually use it from the game's gacha system, but if you keep plugging away then you should get there eventually.
