Here’s everything to know about exotic gear.
WHAT IS EXOTIC GEAR?
Exotic gear is the highest tier of gear, above even legendary. Exotic equipment will always be some of the best, but some players have said that they’re not really that special and finding legendary gear with the same name and stats as exotic gear. With exoctics being so rare in the game only way yo find out is to hunt them down your self.
HOW DO YOU UNLOCK EXOTIC GEAR?
You’ll have to complete a few missions before you can start unlocking ways of accessing them.
The first and foremost you need to complete the Marvel’s Avengers campaign. Then You need to partially complete the mission chain titled “Avenger’s Initiative.” This will unlock either after you’ve completed the story mode or the minute you start playing multiplayer.
Once you’ve reached Step 9 of the mission chain, you’ll unlock a new chain titled “Last Avenger Standing.” That will lead you to a new survival mission “Elite Heroic Hive.” This is where you’ll earn your exotic gear while fighting numerous waves of enemies. If you can persevere, you’ll have a chance to earn a swanky new piece of exotic gear.
While this isn’t stated, many players have found themselves unable to earn exotic gear until they’ve reached a power level of 130. Even if you’ve unlocked the Elite Heroic Hives, you’ll still need to reach this power level milestone to begin gaining exotics.
HOW TO GET
The most surefire way to farm exotic gear is by completing Elite Heroic Hives. Each time you complete a run, there’s a high chance you’ll get an exotic gear piece. Other players have reported finding them via completing Warzone missions, but this is a rather rare event. It’s also recommended that you equip a minor artifact with a perk that grants a higher chance for gear drops. For example, the perk Insurmountable would fit this bill.
A third method could be using DNA Strongboxes in conjunction with a drop rate increasing perk such as the one mentioned above. DNA Strongboxes often drop better gear than other methods, so it could be your ticket to earning a bounty of exotics.
