==Exotic Mission Rotator==
Added in ''[[Season of the Witch]]'', the Exotic Mission Rotator allows players to play a vaulted Exotic Mission, which rotates every week.<ref>[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/news/article/lightfall-year-ahead '''Bungie.net''': ''Lightfall and the Year Ahead'']</ref> Weapons associated with missions that enter the rotator will become [[Weapon Crafting|craftable]] if they weren't already, and players will also be able to acquire weapons and armor from an associated season (not necessarily the one when the mission was introduced). Players will need to own the expansion tied to the mission or have previously purchased the season tied to the gear in order to play.<ref name="twid23Aug8">[https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/this_week_in_destiny_08102023 '''Bungie.net''': ''This Week in Destiny - 08/10/2023'']</ref> Each mission can be played on Normal and Legendary difficulties, where Legendary completion is required to earn the [[Exotic Catalyst]]. 

===Rewards===
Every completion of an Exotic Rotator Mission will grant the Exotic Weapon pattern for that mission, or an upgraded intrinsic trait for the weapon if the pattern is already unlocked. 

On the first completion of each difficulty on a given week, the following rewards will be given:
*A guaranteed Deepsight seasonal weapon
*An unacquired seasonal armor piece, or a random seasonal weapon if all armor pieces are acquired

Players with a Xenology quest from [[Xûr, Agent of the Nine|Xûr]] will also gain extra progress towards the quest.
