The Division 2 Complete Guide to Exotic Weapons and Gear

In The Division 2, Exotic weapons and armor represent some of the rarest and most impactful gear, allowing players to create powerful offensive and skill-oriented builds. Below, you will find a comprehensive guide on how to obtain all Exotic weapons and gear in the game.

Acquiring Exotic Weapons and Gear in The Division 2

Players can acquire most Exotic weapons and gear primarily through various activities and random loot drops. These items, marked with a red rarity, are statistically less likely to drop compared to High-End gear or Gear Sets. While some can be discovered in specific missions, others may randomly drop during gameplay.

Engaging in Targeted Loot can dramatically improve your chances of acquiring a specific weapon or gear class by participating in designated main missions or other activities, with daily updates available on the map. Activities like Countdown and The Summit are particularly advantageous, as players can select the Targeted Loot for their runs.

Exotic Caches are special loot containers that guarantee one Exotic weapon or gear piece. Players can obtain these caches by completing various projects, purchasing them with Countdown Requisition Tokens, or through the Season Pass. Note that some Exotic items may require a specific unlocking condition before they can appear in these caches.
