The Exotic Mission Rotator makes its return in The Final Shape, avoiding the content vault and offering players valuable opportunities. Destiny 2 has added countless seasonal weapons over its various seasons, with many top-tier options now unavailable to new players. The frustration of missing out on powerful weapons like Retrofit Escapade, IKELOS_SMG, and Scatter Signal is understandable.
Bungie provided a remedy with the introduction of the Exotic Mission Rotator in Season 22. This weekly activity allows players to earn enhanced versions of vaulted Exotic weapons and older seasonal guns.
It’s important to note that only one Exotic Mission is available each week. If you miss it, you will have to wait several weeks for another opportunity to collect that mission’s unique rewards, so staying informed about this week’s rotation is crucial.
Exotic Mission Rotator Schedule
This week’s featured mission is Presage, which provides the chance to unlock Dead Man’s Tale, a cowboy-style Scout Rifle that received a significant damage increase in Season 24. This mission will remain active until the weekly reset on September 17, at which point it will be replaced with a new mission.
Here’s the complete Exotic Mission Rotator schedule for Echoes Act 3:
| Date | Exotic Quest | Featured Exotic Weapon |
|---|---|---|
| August 27 | //NODE.OVRD.AVALON// | Vexcalibur |
| September 3 | Starcrossed | Wish-Keeper |

Exotic Mission Rotator Loot Table
Each available Exotic Mission has distinct loot pools for players to farm. This loot set consists of prior seasonal weapons that are all craftable.
Players can earn three guaranteed Red Border drops each week by:
- Completing the featured Exotic Mission on Regular difficulty.
- Completing the featured Exotic Mission on Legend difficulty.
- Completing two runs of the featured Exotic Mission on any difficulty.
Subsequent completions in the same week will still drop seasonal weapons from the relevant loot table, but Red Border drops are not guaranteed.
