Exotic: Difference between revisions

[[Exotic]]s are the highest tier of items available. They are a special tier of equipment that refers to powerful and unique weapons, armor, and items. They are distinguished by their distinct appearances and abilities that set them apart from [[Legendary]] gear. Only one [[Exotic]] weapon and one [[Exotic]] armor can ever be equipped at any time. In [[Destiny]], [[Exotic]]s can be upgraded with an [[Exotic Shard]] and other materials, while in Destiny 2 they can be augmented with [[Exotic Catalyst]]s.   

Exotics can be obtained by completing quests and participating in various activities, like [[Raid]]s, [[Nightfall]] strikes, as well as the Exotic Archive. An [[Exotic Shard]] has to be purchased or acquired from disassembling another [[Exotic]] item. [[Xûr]] sells [[Engram#engram_types|Fated Engrams]] weekly for the price of 97 [[Legendary Shards]].
