Treat me like a pirate and gimme that booty.

Destiny 2: Season of Plunder is the penultimate season ahead of the Lightfall expansion in 2023, and there’s a new raid to enjoy, exotics to collect and, as the title suggests, pirates! To get all of the good loot, though, you’ll need to complete various quests and tasks, some of which are trickier than others.

Whether you’re hunting down map fragments or hoping to get your hands on the Touch of Malice raid exotic, I’ve got you covered in this Season of Plunder guide.

Destiny 2: Season of Plunder exotic weapons

Exotic weapons are always worth chasing in Destiny 2, as their unique intrinsic perks set them above the rest. Not all of the Season 18 exotics are available in-game yet, but you can check out how to get the ones that are below.

Delicate Tomb fusion rifle

This exotic fusion rifle is the easiest exotic to get your hands on this season, so here’s how to get it and its catalyst.

Touch of Malice scout rifle

This scout rifle is this season’s raid exotic from King’s Fall. It’s not a guaranteed drop, either, so here’s Sean’s guide on how to improve your chances.

Lost sector rotation

If you want some powerful exotic armor to go with your new weapons, Fallen Sunstar, Gyrfalcon’s Hauberk, and Point-Contact Cannon Brace are all available through legend and master lost sectors.
