20/03/2024 This article has been updated to reflect the new methods of acquiring these old Exotic weapons and armor pieces.

Is there a better feeling in Destiny 2 than a cheeky overworld Exotic drop? Probably not. As such, one of the best aspects of any new season or expansion is the new Exotic armor and weapons that are being added. The Destiny 2 Beyond Light Exotics are no different.

From some intriguing armor to an absolutely terrifying chainsaw sword, there are plenty of incredibly designed Exotics in Beyond Light. Have fun smashing some raids with these beauties, guardian!
