One of the most exciting additions in The Final Shape expansion is the new Destiny 2 Exotic class items. While Destiny 1 had Exotic class items, this feature was not originally carried forward into Destiny 2. With The Final Shape though, Exotic class items are back and better than ever.

Along with the many other Destiny 2 The Final Shape Exotics like weapons and armor, the Exotic class items are great for making your Guardian more powerful. What sets these class items apart from standard Exotic gear, however, is that each one combines the Exotic perks of two other armor pieces. If you’re looking to storm through the Destiny 2 The Final Shape missions list with Prismatic, then these Exotic class items help you do just that.
All Destiny 2 Exotic Class Items
Currently, there are three Exotic class items in Destiny 2, one for each class, which combine the effects of two Exotics from their home class and, in some cases, even the Exotic armor of other classes.
- Solipsism - Warlock Exotic class item
- Existentialism - Hunter Exotic class item
- Stoicism - Titan Exotic class item
To be able to wear an Exotic class item, you must be using the Prismatic subclass. Otherwise, the effects of these items will not be applied.

How to Get Exotic Class Items in Destiny 2 The Final Shape
To get Exotic class items in Destiny 2, you must complete a new activity in the Pale Heart that unlocks at the beginning of Week 2 of The Final Shape. This activity is farmable and you are guaranteed to get a random roll each time you complete it.
If you’re hunting for the perfect roll on your Exotic class item, then you could be there for a while considering all the different perk combinations available on each one.
According to Bungie, this new activity will be unlocked after the Raid World First race is over, suggesting that it is tied to the Witness’ fate and the development of the Pale Heart.
How to Use Exotic Class Items in Destiny 2
Chances are, if your Exotic class item isn't working then that's because you're not using Prismatic. The only requirement to use an Exotic class item is that you have your Prismatic subclass equipped. As with other Exotics, you can only have one Exotic armor piece and one Exotic weapon equipped at once.
That covers everything there is to know about Destiny 2 Exotic class items in The Final Shape, from the perk combinations for each one to how to get your hands on them. To get more Exotics and powerful gear, check out the new Destiny 2 Pathfinder system and the Destiny 2 Overthrow activity in the Pale Heart.
