Seasons of Arrivals expansion in Destiny 2 brings with a lot of cool new exotic weapons for players to select from. Exotic weapons are basically golden or yellow tier weapons that have extraordinary stats. The only catch that comes with these awesome unique weapons is that players can only equip themselves with one exotic weapon or exotic armor. This means that at the same time, there will only be one yellow item on either side of the load-out setup screen.
In Seasons of Arrival, players won’t have to collect many Sunspots as all the weapons will have the same stats as another. Bungie has also brought improvements in the armor mechanics as they will have increased agility and higher damage recover similar to the original Destiny’s sub-classes.
