The exotic class item was one of the most talked about additions to Destiny 2 coming with The Final Shape, and now that the expansion is finally here, you’ll soon be able to get your hands on it. While many thought the exotic class item would come from the Overthrow event, it’s not actually available in the game just yet.
In the meantime, however, you can take a look at what perks make the class item stand out from other exotic armor pieces. The trademark feature for the class item is that it will have multiple perks from existing exotics, meaning that you can create some incredible builds that synergize abilities in new ways. Some of the available perks are even from other classes.
The catch is that you can only use them with Prismatic, so if you still need to unlock everything for your Prismatic subclass, now is the time! You may be thinking, “That sounds really strong”, but hey, Bungie is still adamant that Prismatic isn’t overpowered. Let’s take a look at how we’ll likely unlock the exotic class item, plus all the available perks it can roll.
When does the exotic class item unlock?

To quote Bungie: “The Exotic Class items will be part of a new activity that unlocks after the Raid World First, at the beginning of Week 2.”
This means that the exotic class items will appear in-game on June 11 at weekly reset, after the first team completes the Salvation’s Edge raid that launches on June 7. When a team wins the world first raid, as with previous expansions, something in the Pale Heart will change, giving everyone access to this mysterious new activity. We’ll add more details about the precise process of claiming the exotic class item and getting multiple rolls when that launches.
