To get new Exotic armor in Destiny 2, you need to access Master Rahool’s exclusive Engram Ensiders club by resetting your vendor reputation rank. Earning reputation by handing over your Exotic Engrams to him takes a while, however, as you’ll need to gather many engrams and must spend a lot ofDestiny 2’s most precious resources to improve your rank most efficiently. To help you gain favor with Master Rahool so you can get some new gear, I’ve covered exactly how you unlock any new Exotics you don’t have in Destiny 2, as well as the best ways to get the necessary Exotic Engrams.
How to unlock new Exotics in Destiny 2
To be able to unlock any new Exotic armor piece in Destiny 2, you need tomax out and reset your vendor rank with Master Rahool by decrypting Exotic and Prime Engrams. Once you’ve hit Legend (Rank 16), claim the Exotic Cipher reward to reset your rank and unlockNovel Focusing, which lets you get any Exotic armor piece, including brand-new gear that you don’t have. Be aware that, as ofDestiny 2 The Final Shape, this is the only way to get new Exotic armor pieces too.
Using Novel Focusing to acquire a new Exotic armor piece also makes it available to unlock via Precision Decryption too, so you have two options for getting additional rolls of any armor piece depending on the sorts of resources you have available to you. This is also how you can end up with some of thebest Destiny 2 Exotic armor, as these focusing methods generally dish out high-stat armor. Remember, thebest Destiny 2 Exotic weaponsare generally unlocked through quests and season passes rather than engrams.
The difficulty here then is increasing your reputation with Master Rahool as quickly as possible to unlock any new Exotic armor in Destiny 2 – note thatyou’ll have to do thisevery seasonas your vendor ranks reset. As mentioned, you do this by decrypting engrams but focusing Exotic Engrams increases the amount of reputation gained.
Here’s how much reputation you get for decrypting one Exotic Engram with each of Rahool’s decryption methods, as well as the resources needed:
Obviously, the fastest way to level up is to use Precision Decryption as this offers the most reputation for Master Rahool, but you’ll need a lot of Ascendant Shards to do that. And unless you had Exotic Engrams stockpiled in your engram inventory, getting the necessary Exotic Engrams in the first place is tricky too.
While there’s no obvious farming method for quickly amassing Exotic Engrams in Destiny 2 to help you unlock new Exotics, there are quite a few ways you can get these engrams, so bear these in mind when you’re playing to help you rank up your reputation with Rahool quickly:
