Bungie has revealed a complete set of rewards players can expect from the upcoming Exotic Mission Rotator playlist in Destiny 2.

Earlier this year, Bungie announced that it plans to add an Exotic Mission Rotator in Destiny 2. And recently, the developer has confirmed that this rotator playlist is coming in Destiny 2 Season 22, launching later this month.

Previously, we only had information that Presage, Vox Obscura, and Operation: Seraph’s Shield will be added to the rotation along with their respective exotic weapons and catalysts. However, it appears that players can also obtain additional weapons and armor by completing these exotic missions, as Bungie has confirmed in its latest This Week in Destiny blog post.
