During the weeklyDestiny 2blog update, Bungie provided a thorough rundown of how Season 22’s exotic mission rotator works. Considering many missions have been lost to the content vaulting process, theExotic Rotator gives Bungie a way to bring them back, swapping them out on a weekly basis similar to how the Raid and Dungeon rotator works currently. Each mission comes with a pool of legacy Seasonal rewards, offers a Normal and Legendary version, and makes each exotic weapon craftable once the pattern has been unlocked through subsequent playthroughs.
When Season 22 begins, players will have these three missions to select from, though Bungie has made it clear that more missions will be added over time.
Presage
Presage makes the Dead Man’s Tale scout rifle craftable, bringing with it a new trait pool to pick from as well. In order to play this mission, Destiny 2 players will need to own Beyond Light or Season of the Chosen.
While playing this mission, Bungie has added armor and weapons from the Season of the Chosen as well as the following:
Vox Obscura
Thisexotic mission is tied to the Dead Messenger grenade launcher, which makes it craftable and has one additional trait. The prerequisites for this mission is ownership of The Witch Queen or Season of the Risen.
The mission offers weapons from Season of the Risen in addition to the following gear:
Operation: Seraph Shield
The final exotic mission when Season 22 begins isOperation: Seraph Shield which featured the unique exotic pulse rifle Revision Zero. Nothing has changed as this weapon was already featured as a craftable weapon during its season. Like the other missions, this one requires ownership of The Witch Queen or Season of the Seraph.
In addition to gear from Season of the Seraph, players will also come across randomized rolls of the following:
Wrapping up the segment, Bungie also confirmed that each mission will feature a weekly challenge. The challenge rewards will feature pinnacle power levels and have a prioritization order that starts with a locked Deepsight Weapon pattern, then an armor piece that has yet to be earned for the currently equippedDestiny 2class. If all previous rewards have been earned, the weekly challenge will issue a randomized weapon or armor piece.
Destiny 2is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
