Destiny 2 Exotic Mission Rotator: Schedule and loot table this week

The Exotic Mission Rotator returns in Episode Heresy, with the fan-favorite weekly activity avoiding the content vault. Here’s everything you need to know about the Exotic Mission Rotator in Destiny 2, including how it works, this week’s schedule, and what loot is up for grabs.

Destiny 2 has introduced hundreds of seasonal weapons, with some being top-tier options that new players can’t easily acquire anymore. It can be frustrating knowing you missed out on powerful guns like Retrofit Escapade, IKELOS_SMG, and Scatter Signal.

Thankfully, Bungie implemented a solution to this problem back in Season 22 – the Exotic MIssion Rotator. This weekly activity lets players earn enhanced versions of older Exotic weapons and seasonal g uns alike.

However, only one Exotic Mission is featured at a time. Miss it, and you will have to wait several weeks for another chance to earn that mission’s unique rewards, so it’s important you know what this week’s rotation is.

Exotic Mission Rotator schedule

This week’s featured mission is Starcrossed, giving you the chance to unlock Wish-Keeper. It will remain the featured mission until the weekly reset on April 8 (04/08/25), at which point a new rotation will begin.

Exotic Mission Rotator loot table

Most available Exotic missions have their own unique loot pools for players to farm. This loot table is made up of old seasonal weapons that are all craftable.

Players can receive three guaranteed Red Border drops each week by doing the following:

• Complete the featured Exotic Mission on Regular difficulty.
• Complete the featured Exotic Mission on Legend difficulty.
• Complete two runs of the featured Exotic Mission on any difficulty.

Following completions in the same week will still reward seasonal weapons from the appropriate loot table, but they are not guaranteed to be Red Borders.

The Exotic Mission Rotator is a weekly activity first added in Season 22, where players can complete and farm old Exotic quests for various rewards.

These rewards include craftable variants of returning Exotics, a range of old seasonal guns that were not farmable before this activity, and even Red Border drops for craftable Legendary weapons.

The Exotic Mission Rotator features a different mission every week.

How to access the Exotic Mission Rotator

You can access and play the Exotic Mission Rotator by selecting the Destinations tab, Legends, and finally clicking the featured weekly Exotic quest.

The only requirement to start each mission is to either own the respective expansion or season connected to the relevant Exotic weapon. However, it’s also recommended to be at least 1965 Power for Standard difficulty and 2025 Power for Expert difficulty, as these are the current activity power caps.

The Exotic Mission Rotator isn’t the only feature you’ll need to master. There are also Deepsight Harmonizers and this month’s Promo Codes. If it’s an optimized loadout you need instead, check out the best Exotic Weapons, PvE Weapons, and PvP Weapons to use.
