Beyond Light New Exotic Armor
1. Icefall Mantle Titan Gauntlets
As a Titan main, the Icefall Mantle exotic Titan gauntlets is perhaps the new exotic armor piece releasing in Destiny 2: Beyond Light that I’m most excited about.
This exotic armor will augment your class ability. It will change your barricade to become an overshield instead.
The barricade is arguably the least useful of the three class abilities. The ability to simply throw up an overshield instead will likely be quite useful in situations where you don’t need the utility of a more specialized exotic armor. More HP is always helpful.
There’s no confirmation at the time of this writing on how to obtain the Icefall Mantle Titan Gauntlets.
2. Precious Scars Titan Exotic Helmet
The Precious Scars is an interesting exotic armor piece releasing in Destiny 2: Beyond Light that should have some use both in PvE and Trials of Osiris.
Quite simply, what it does is provide an overshield to the Titan and nearby allies whenever they revive someone. This would not only be helpful in difficult PvE encounters when you need to risk it all for a revive, but also in Trials of Osiris where revives can also be quite precarious.
There’s no confirmation at the time of this writing on how to obtain the Precious Scars Titan Helmet.
3. Mask of Bakris Hunter Helmet
This exotic Hunter armor helmet definitely has lots of players, but especially Destiny veterans, salivating.
The Mask of Bakris will replace the Hunter’s dodge ability with a new Shift ability, which will see the Hunter cloak and reappear in a different location, similar to the old-school Blink ability from the first Destiny game.
Based on the trailer, many believe it may be more powerful than the Warlock’s current Blink ability as it seems to completely negate damage. However, that is currently unconfirmed. Either way, it should be fun to use in PvP.
There’s no confirmation at the time of this writing on how to obtain the Mask of Bakris Hunter Helmet.
4. Athrys’s Embrace Hunter Gauntlets
Bungie is really feeling knives recently in their Destiny 2: Beyond Light promotional material, and this particular piece of exotic armor will continue to play into that fantasy.
What the Athrys’s Embrace does is allow the Hunter’s Weighted Knife to gain a second ricochet. Rapid precision hits will also gain a damage bonus and can temporarily stagger enemies.
There’s no confirmation at the time of this writing on how to obtain the Athrys’s Embrace Hunter Gauntlets.
5. Dawn Chorus Warlock Exotic Helmet
The Dawn of Chorus exotic armor warlock helmet will make the powerful Daybreak super even more deadly when it releases in Destiny 2: Beyond Light.
What Dawn of Chorus does is adds extra damage to Daybreak projectiles and also causes anything it doesn’t kill to start burning. You’ll also gain melee energy any time you do burn damage.
This exotic armor certainly seems geared for PvE as most enemies die in one shot from Daybreak already in PvP.
There’s no confirmation at the time of this writing on how to obtain the Dawn Chorus Warlock Helmet.
6. Necrotic Grip Warlock Gauntlets
The Necrotic Grip is a unique new piece of exotic armor coming in Destiny 2: Beyond Light that has potential to be very deadly.
Its exotic perk sees it augment the Warlock melee ability to place a poison effect on whatever it hits. Defeating enemies corrupted by this poison will spread it to nearby targets and restore melee energy. This should be lots of fun to use on packs of weak enemies such as Goblins and Thralls.
There’s no confirmation at the time of this writing on how to obtain the Necrotic Grip Warlock Gauntlets.
