Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted Exotics

Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted has officially started, and it’s packed with new exotic weapons, armor, and more. 2 new Exotic weapons and 3 new Exotic armor pieces have been added to the game’s arsenal and It’s possible Bungie will hide an Exotic mission later in the season as well.

What makes the game fun for players is getting new weapons and armor with unique qualities that can be used to construct game-changing builds. Here’s a quick rundown on the new Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted Exotics and what they do.

Season of the Haunted currently has 5 Exotics in its collection, and they are as follows:

  • Trespasser
  • Heartshadow
  • Second Chance
  • Caliban’s Hand
  • Rain of Fire

Trespasser

Tresspasser - Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted Exotic

Type: Arc Sidearm

The seasonal Exotic that comes with the season pass is Trespasser. It replaces the Grand Overture that was available in the previous season. Players who have purchased the season pass will have immediate access to this content, however free-to-play players will have to reach season rank 35 before they can get it.

In addition, Trespasser has a Catalyst, which may be obtained by completing a task that Banshee-44 offers.

Exotic Perks

  • Unrepentant – Reloading after defeating a target causes the next burst to be a longer, more powerful superburst.
  • Be the Danger – Final blows with Unrepentant superbursts automatically reload your weapon and provide an Unrepentant superburst.

Heartshadow

Heartshadow - Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted Exotic

Type: Void Sword

When the Duality Dungeon opens on May 27, 2022, Heartshadow will be the new Exotic Void sword you’ll be grinding for. In other words, you can retrieve it from the dungeon multiple times and get a different third perk each time. You can enhance the frequency with which Heartshadow appears by earning a number of in-game Triumphs.

Exotic Perks

  • Exhumation – Heavy attacks made with full Sword energy turn you invisible and fire exploding Void projectiles.
  • Shot in the Dark– Remaining invisible grants this weapon increased damage for a brief duration. Hitting a target with this weapon’s projectiles while Shot in the Dark is active weakens them.

Second Chance

Second Chance - Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted Exotic

Type: Titan Gauntlets

The Second Chance Exotic can be obtained by completing Master/Legend Lost Sectors. Barrier Champions are no match for these Gauntlets, even if you can’t fit in the right mod.

Exotic Perks

  • Myrmidon’s Reach – Gain a second charge of your Shield Throw melee, which becomes shield-piercing and stuns Barrier Champions.

Caliban’s Hand

Caliban's Hand - Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted Exotic

Type: Hunter Gauntlets

The Caliban’s Hand Exotic can be obtained by completing Master/Legend Lost Sectors. Hunters will have access to knives that can incinerate enemies in a region or set them on fire with a single blow.

Exotic Perks

  • Roast ‘Em – Your Proximity Knife scorches targets it damages with its explosions, or ignites on a direct hit. After throwing a Proximity Knife, you gain increased melee regeneration until the knife explodes.

Rain of Fire

Rain of Fire - Destiny 2 Season of the Haunted Exotic

Type: Warlock Leg Armor

The Rain of Fire Exotic can be obtained by completing Master/Legend Lost Sectors. Simply because of its perk, this Exotic is a relatively solid choice for those who play the aerial specialization of the Warlock class. This perk is especially useful while utilizing a Fusion Rifle.

Exotic Perks

  • Soaring Fusilier – Air dodge reloads all of your weapons and improves the airborne effectiveness of Fusion Rifles and Linear Fusion Rifles. Final blows with these weapons make you radiant.
