Three new ones Exotics join the Lot 2 arsenal with Season of the Wish. That includes one for the season pass, one for the dungeon, and one for a new exotic mission coming later in December. Thorn, the beloved hand cannon, also received an Exotic Catalyst this season.
Here we’re going to go over each of these new Exotics – and the new Catalyst – and tell you everything we know about them and what they do.
Remark: There are no new exotic armor items for classes in Season of the Wish, although it’s possible Bungie could add them later in the new version Lot 2: Into the Light update.
Dragon’s Breath, solar rocket launcher
Dragon’s Breath is Exotic’s season pass Lot 2: Season of the Wish, and is a returning exotic from the original Destiny. However, Dragon’s Breath’s benefits hardly reflect the weapon it once was.
In Lot 2the exotic ability of Dragon’s Breath is Composite propellant, which causes missiles to embed into targets and periodically eject incendiary fuel that causes Scorch. The longer you go without firing Dragon’s Breath, the more fuel the next rocket will contain. The exotic advantage is High octanegiving you some fuel back when you ignite a target and causing Dragon’s Breath to recharge itself from its reserves once maximum fuel is reached.
This is an interesting new direction for Dragon’s Breath, as it seems to be good at both killing big bosses and burning all the minions around them.
Wish-Keeper, Beach Arch

As part of the Season of the Wish reveal, Bungie has revealed that the season will include an exotic quest. The mission is mentioned Stars crossedand will launch on December 19th. The reward is the new Wish-Keeper Strand bow, which can deal damage or ‘lay traps’.
Based on the trailer for Season of the Wishit appears that the Wish-Keeper can suspend objectives, just like many Strand abilities can.
Although Bungie has revealed the bow and shown it off, the studio has not yet announced the benefits of Wish-Keeper at the time of writing.
Dungeon Exotic weapon
The exotic weapon we know the least about this season is the one from the Warlord’s Ruin dungeon, launching on December 1.
Bungie is very secretive about the dungeon and its theme, but one article on the studio’s website gave an extra hint: Rocket gun. This seems like a clear tease for the upcoming Exotic from Warlord’s Ruin and not the new legendary rocket launcher archetype we’re getting into The final shape.
At the time of writing this, it is unclear – without delving into data mining – what the benefits of this weapon are or what it is called.
Thorn Catalyst

Thorn is having a great season. In addition to a new buff that causes the weapon to overfill its own magazine when you pick up a Remnant, you can also get a Catalyst for it.
At first glance, the Catalyst for Thorn is pretty boring. It grants increased range and stability, bonuses that are further increased after picking up a Remnant. This is clearly a PvP-focused catalyst, aiming to push Thorn to be more competitive in activities like Trials of Osiris.
