New Destiny 2 Event Allows Players to Unlock Exotic Class Items Without Doing Dual Destiny

Bungie detailed Destiny 2‘s latest Festival of the Lost, which includes some new treats, including Exotic class items.

Like previous years players will need to complete Haunted Lost Sectors, and restore the book to ultimately complete the event. Other expected goodies include the good/bad Wizard Eververse ornaments, an heavy burst Arc shotgun called Arcane Embrace, new masks, and the option for Exotic class items.

Unlike the recent changes to Xur, which still requires unlocking through Dual Destiny, these Exotic class items can be purchased by anyone who owns Destiny 2: The Final Shape. Even if that requirement seems frustrating, said class items only work on Prismatic, which requires owning the expansion.

Bungie also confirmed Exotic class items obtained through Eva work with attunement. This makes The Festival of the Lost one of the best time to get a desired roll, or deck out another character.

EXOTIC CLASS ITEMS

Eva will also have another special treat to share. This year, Exotic Class items will be available to purchase directly from Eva for one Eerie Engram and 2500 candy. You can purchase as many as you like and, if you have attunement unlocked, these items are extra sweet as you’re guaranteed to get your selected Exotic Class Item Attunement perk.

We’ve also got a treat for those looking to get their hands on their very first Exotic Class item. While players must own The Final Shape expansion to have access to Exotic Class items, you do not have to have completed Dual Destiny to purchase the Festival of the Lost Exotic Class item rewards. Unlocking the Exotic Class item via Festival of the Lost will also provide access to purchasing Exotic Class items at Xûr and rewards from Overthrow chests in The Pale Heart, though Dual Destiny will need to be completed before unlocking attunement.

Festival of the Lost also brings back the Superblack shader. This was originally a Festival of the Lost reward in Destiny 1, that was brought back as part of Into the Light. Making it a Festival of the Lost reward in Destiny 2 is rather fitting. Those who want it can earn it by completing 15 event challenges.

Expect all of this, and much more next week when Festival of the Lost returns to Destiny 2.
