Destiny 2 Season 18, aka, Season of the Plunder, is brimming with new weapons, armor, and activities, for players to pursue. As always, there's no shortage of content here for veteran and new players.
Like every Destiny 2 season, Season of the Plunder adds a host of new exotic weapons and armor. For those unaware, Exotics in Destiny 2 are the highest tier gear offering some of the most unique perks in the game. The downside is that players can only equip one exotic weapon and exotic armor at a time.
That said, here are all the new exotics introduced in Destiny 2 Season of the Plunder.
Every New Exotic in Destiny 2 Season of the Plunder
Players can acquire three new Exotic Armor and two new Exotic Weapons in Destiny 2 Season of the Plunder.
Gyrfalcon's Hauberk (Exotic Hunter Chest)
Exotic Perk
- See me, Feel me - "Your weapon gains a bonus to damage briefly after you emerge from being invisible. When you are invisible and defeat a combatant using a finisher, you and your nearby allies gain a reserve overshield and improved class ability regen. These reserved overshields can be deployed by using a class ability."
Players can acquire this new Exotic by completing the Legendary Lost Sectors solo.
Fallen Sunstar (Exotic Warlock Helmet)
Exotic Perk
- Ionic Conductor - "Ionic Traces you create move faster and grant you additional ability energy. Nearby allies also gain ability energy when you collect an ionic trace."

Exotic Perk
- Hammer of the Gods - "Defeating targets with your Thunderclap melee restores melee energy. Targets near you when you use your Thunderclap suffer lightning strikes; being amplified increases the range of these lightning strikes."
