How to get Exotics in Destiny Rising

There are three main ways to acquire exotic weapons in Destiny Rising. The easiest method is by completing the 14-Day Sign-In event simply by logging in every day. On Day 7 and Day 14, you’ll earn an Exotic Choice Engram, which allows you to pick one of three Exotics: Borealis, Crimson, or The Huckleberry.

The second way is through the seasonal Battle Pass. Players who buy the Premium Battle Pass will unlock Exotics faster, typically around level 10. However, even free players can earn Exotics if they reach level 50 by the end of the season. For example, in the current season, Furies III can be obtained via this method, so it’s good to keep making progress before the season ends on October 9.

The third route involves completing end-game activities, which will reward you with Exotic Weapon Engrams. You’ll need to finish most of the main storyline missions first. Once you’ve completed Chapter 4-2 and the Armageddon mission, you’ll unlock access to Gauntlet Ops and Legendary Campaign modes, where activities will give you Exotic Engrams as rewards.
