Destiny2 features a plethora of Exotics for players to use, but every expansion and season adds a few more for players to enjoy. Whilst Destiny2 continues to expand with new and old Exotics, there are still a few Destiny1 exotics left behind that have not seen a triumphant return. Plenty of amazing Exotics in Destiny deserve to return to Destiny2, even if they would need a rework, or seem a tad underpowered when compared to the current arsenal.

Destiny 2: 6 Best Exotic Class Item Perk Combos For Prismatic Titans

Titans can combine 16 Exotic Perks to unlock the ultimate potential of Prismatic in Destiny 2, and here are some great combos to look out for.

Most of these Destiny Exotics are beloved for their status as classic weapons in a game where acquiring an Exotic wasn’t exactly common, and at least one of these weapons was actually exclusive to PlayStation users. Hopefully one day, these Exotics will make a return to Destiny2.

7 Ice Breaker

A Sniper Rifle That Regenerates Ammo Overtime

Players will never have to worry about ammo with the Ice Breaker, as this Sniper Rifle will regenerate it over time. This comes as a blessing since players will no longer have to rely on green ammo bricks to obtain more ammo once they run out. Yet, it’s also a curse, since if players use their ammo up too quickly, they are going to be sitting around with an empty gun that has no use, since it cannot be reloaded manually, meaning they just have to wait for it to regenerate ammo.

Visually, the Ice Breaker is a lot of fun, as it looks like a chainsaw Sniper Rifle. The fact that players can combine its extremely high damage with a Solar output makes it a desirable weapon of choice, and its unique Exotic Perk definitely means it could have a home in Destiny2.

6 Pocket Infinity

Fully-Automatic Fusion Rifle That Never Returned After Its First Year

A rarity among the Destiny community, one beloved for its Year One potential. Pocket Infinity is a weapon that did not see much use outside of Destiny’s first year, and that’s probably because of how absurdly powerful it could be. For the nostalgic, players might recall its power, showcasing how something so small and minimalist in design should not be underestimated when it comes to being a powerhouse.

The Pocket Infinity was a Fusion Rifle that could fire a rapid set of 3 shots, providing players with a fully automatic Fusion Rifle that devastates low-tier enemies and PvP players alike. Whilst the lack of ammo and the recoil is something to be concerned about, landing an entire burst will reload the magazine and further increase the fire rate, providing players with an unstoppable beast.

5 Zhalo Supercell

Arc Auto Rifle That Regaiuns Ammo For Multi-Lightning-Kills

The Zhalo Supercell has seen new life in Destiny2 as the Riskrunner, but that doesn’t mean the Zhalo Supercell does not have a home, especially with Arc 3.0 featuring a wide range of potential. With Zhalo Supercell, players would have an Arc Auto Rifle that would send out Arc projectiles to chain lightning attacks to enemies that were close together. When getting a double kill with Zhalo Supercell, players would also charge Super energy and return ammo to the magazine.

Auto Rifles are a great joy in Destiny2, so to see something as classic and beloved as the Zhalo Supercell return, would make many players happy. It was a great versatile weapon for PvE, but the fact that it works pretty similarly to Destiny2’s Riskrunner, means a few changes might need to be made to make it stand out once more.

4 Fabian Strategy

Titan-Exclusive Auto Rifle That Received Bonus Damage For Rapid Kills

Something that would be seen as unheard of in Destiny2, Destiny1 had each class receive a different and exclusive Exotic which could only be wielded for them. For Titans, they received Fabian Strategy, which wasn’t the best Exotic Auto Rifle, but it certainly had its potential thanks to the fact that it had a predictable recoil and players could have bonus damage to it with the more kills they get, making them a death machine in PvE activities.

It was interesting to see Titan-exclusive weapons in the first Destiny, so it would be fun to see it make a return, especially since it could now be wielded by Titans, Hunters, and Warlocks. By no means was it the best Exotic, but it’s still a nostalgic weapon that could add yet another Auto Rifle to the arsenal.

3 Zen Meteor

A PlayStation Exclusive Sniper Rifle That Charged A Powerful Dynamite Shot

For a time, PlayStation users could receive an exclusive Exotic weapon just for them: the Zen Meteor. Whilst it comes as yet another Sniper Rifle, players would definitely not want to miss this one, since acquiring rapid kills with every round in a clip will load an extra shot, one that explodes and has a much higher damage output. Whilst players only have 5 seconds to fire this round, it’s going to eat enemies with Solar Damage, and potentially take them out for good.

The Dynamite bullet from Zen Meteor was amazing, and could easily take out hordes of enemies, or delete single big enemies. Whilst it’s a good thing that console-specific Exotics are no longer in Destiny2, bringing back the Zen Meteor for all would add further enjoyment to the Exotic Sniper Rifles.

2 Fate of All Fools

A One-of-a-Kind Scout Rifle That Grants Bonus Damage On Precision Hits

The Fate of All Fools is an Exotic Scout Rifle that acts as the rarest thing in Destiny history. Fate of All Fools was an Exotic given to just one player, a super fan who had cancer. Player Trifecta01 received this rare bounty as a gift from Bungie whilst recovering from brain surgery, and it’s safe to say that this weapon received plenty of use for its rarity. Whilst the format of the gun was later added to all players as The Jade Rabbit, to see it return would be great for the legacy of Destiny’s history with fans.

Without these female characters, Destiny 2 would lack some important faces that bring about action and success.

As far as Exotic Perks go, the Fate of All Fools was pretty good and allowed for players to chain body shots to gain bonus damage on their next precision shot, which will also return ammo to the magazine. Whilst it looks identical to the No Time to Explain Pulse Rifle, its behavior as a Scout Rifle is completely different, and a desirable rarity indeed.

1 Tlaloc

Warlock-Exclusive Scout Rifle That Sees Better Stats When A Super Is Charged

Another class-exclusive weapon, Tlaloc was for the Warlocks, and it definitely aided in their play style. Kills with Tlaloc would reduce the cooldown of their grenades, and when players fully charged their Super, they would enjoy better handling, rate of fire, and stability. Charging a Super and keeping it for later use whilst they enjoyed a faster-firing Exotic Scout Rifle was a great thing to have, especially when Warlocks only really used their Supers as support in endgame content.

Returning Tlaloc would be great, as although it certainly wouldn’t be a top contender for endgame content, it could definitely have its uses as an ad-clearing support weapon, or something that hits hard and fast in PvP.
