Destiny 2: Revenant - All New Exotics & How To Get Them

For many seasons of Destiny 2, players could expect to grind out solo Legend Lost Sectors in order to earn the new seasonal exotic armors for each class, but with The Final Shape's release, that all changed. Instead of grinding out repeatable activities, the new exotics were moved to a new location, causing quite a bit of confusion for players who didn't read the patch notes. It doesn't help that no in-game announcement was made regarding this change, so Guardians found themselves exotic-less, even after many Lost Sector runs.

As with each new season, there are three new exotics to collect if you play all three classes. If not, you're going to have an easier time of it, but for Guardians who like to make the most of their time in D2, you've got a bit of work laid out for you. Thankfully, this is more of a grind than anything, so it shouldn't be too complicated.

How To Get Every New Exotic In Destiny 2: Revenant

Increase And Reset Rahool's Reputation Rank To Unlock More Focusing

If you played The Final Shape and unlocked any of its new Exotic armors, you'll know the drill. You need to increase Rahool's Reputation Rank to at least 16 and then reset it, which unlocks a new focusing screen that will allow you to purchase new exotics you don't have unlocked already. These new pieces of armor will cost you a pretty penny, particularly in the Ascendant Shard department.

One way to grab more Ascendant Shards is by continuing to reset your reputation ranks with various vendors throughout the season. Though this won't come until later in the season, you should level up at least the season vendor, Eido, a couple of times as you play. Another way to grind out these rare materials is to play Master-difficulty or higher Nightfall strikes, which will award a few based on what difficulty you select.

Best Subclass For Each Exotic & Best Build

This Is A Stasis-Focused Season, So Be Ready For Stasis Exotics

There are three exotics for you to grab this season; Blastwave Striders for Titans, Rime-Coat Raiment for Warlocks, and Mask of Fealty for Hunters. Aztecross explains them all pretty quickly on YouTube, but follow along for some possible builds you can run once you get them unlocked. This season is just one of many content updates the D2 team has planned for this year, and is hopefully an indication of more good things to come. The new exotics are Stasis exotics, as the seasonal artifact mods are largely stasis-focused, so get ready for a Stasis or Prismatic build for each one.

Rime-Coat Raiment Warlock Build

The Rime-Coat Raiment armor is a piece of chest armor that focuses on the Warlock Bleak Watcher Stasis aspect, which allows you to consume your grenade to make a Stasis turret at your position. Its perk, Bleak Domain, empowers the Bleak Watcher turret to create Stasis crystals and a storm around it. While standing in the storm, you gain Icicle stacks, which cause your weapon damage to slow enemies. I recommend a turret-focused build, using Stasis rather than Prismatic, as the Stasis subclass fragments get more benefits from Stasis crystals.

Bleak Watcher is the most essential Aspect to this build, as it's necessary for the exotic to function. The second Aspect, Glacial Harvest , allows you to benefit from Frost Armor, which gives you stacking damage resistance every time you pick up a Stasis shard. The Fragments you'll use focus on generating grenade energy and Stasis shards, keeping both your Bleak Watcher and Frost Armor activated.

The same goes with your Armor mods; Bolstering Detonation and Bomber work together to keep your Rift and grenade up as much as possible, as long as you're dealing damage.

Mask of Fealty Hunter Build

This Hunter build will be a Prismatic one, which leaves you lots of options for what you prefer to play. The main thing you'll need to have equipped is Withering Blade on your melee, as it's required for the exotic. The Mask of Fealty causes Withering Blade to create a Stasis crystal and refund a bit of melee damage every time it hits or bounces off a surface. It also released a fan of Withering Blades whenever you use it to shatter a frozen target. With this in mind, your build should be very melee and freeze-focused.

Your Fragments, generally, focus on ability uptime and survivablity. Your main Fragment that will matter is Facet of Ruin, which increases the size of the freezing burst that appears when you shatter a Stasis crystal or frozen target, allowing that freeze to spread and hopefully be shattered by the new Withering Blades that spawn. Additionally, you'll gain Radiance from the Facet of Dawn, which will increase your weapon damage. If you run a Stasis exotic weapon like Ager's Scepter, you'll increase your ability to freeze and defeat everything on the battlefield.

Blastweave Striders Titan Build

The Blastweave Striders will be a Stasis build, focused on maximum kill potential and ammo economy. These exotic Legs have a pretty unique perk; charge the armor by defeating targets, then expend this charge by rocket-jumping or sliding backwards. You'll create Stasis crystals on impact, and your charged rocket jumps also give you Frost Armor.

Aspects Abilities Fragments Recommended Armor Mods Howl of the Storm Shiver Strike Whisper of Rending Momentum Transfer Tectonic Harvest Strafe Lift Whisper of Conduction Impact Induction Rally Barricade Whisper of Rime Reaper Glacier Grenade Whisper of Fissures Outreach

These Fragments focus on generating Stasis crystals and shattering them, thereby dealing burst damage and slow thanks to the freezing detonation they release when they shatter. You'll want to run the new exotic grenade launcher, Alethonym, to help with your ammo economy, as you'll need the heavy and grenade ammo in order to consistently rocket jump and proc Blastweave Striders. Generally, this build will do a pretty decent job of keeping your enemies right where you want them as a Stasis Titan: frozen, and then exploded.

All three of the new exotic armor pieces in Destiny 2: Revenant expand on the Stasis playstyle in their own way. They're not super hard to unlock, but they each open new avenues for their class to use this tried-and-true subclass in a new way. Stasis has been relevant since it was introduced, with nerfs hitting the subclass hard in 2021, but now in The Final Shape's second season, it seems Stasis is here to stay.
