Destiny 1 Exotics ranked by how much the community wants them in Destiny 2

[@Forcer69]

Few things to add (1) All class items were combined into their categories (FWC, TTK, NM, DO) (2) I didn’t show gameplay since most exotics are very straight forward. Didn’t feel like doing a revive speed comparison with Crest of Alpha Lupi

[@Benny_B0O0]

Factions do exist, bungie just doesn’t want you to remember

[@karasabrekitty5208]

They killed one and the other two left lol

[@Dinxster_]

@@karasabrekitty5208 What a funny but great way to say that factions aren't coming back

[@84m30]

I always thought it’d be cool to have a Class item exotic for all classes that works like Alchemists Raiment, but for all loot instead of _glimmer_ . You sacrifice exotic power for increased loot chances across the board.

[@TheAsylumCat]

That sounds fairly solid. Imagine raid runs where your team debates efficiency vs. better drops. Have it apply to the whole fire team, but it stacks to a set point the more people who have it.

[@cancerousnut7767]

Yeah yeah yeah then people just switch to it as the activity ends like we do for triumphs, quests, and bounties

[@115zombies935]

The Ram was crazy because armor (equivalent to resilience in D2) wasn’t capped at 10 like it was in D1. You used to be able to get like tier 13 and have way more health than other players in PvP.

[@seb1520]

There’s something about D1s armor design that just isn’t there anymore man… I miss it

[@majesticbbqsauce727]

Fun fact, A thagomizer is a previosly unnamed part of the stegosaurus tail with spikes, that got named in "the far side" comics and scientists rolled with it.

[@erikm8373]

I always liked the idea of Impossible Machines as a completion to the trio of Warlock gloves covered in elemental energy (The other two being Nothing Manacles and Sunbracers), but I feel like it should have some kind of grenade-based perk to both fit in with the others, and as a general buff. If it did stay landfall-related, it should either: A) turn Stormtrance into a one-off super with crazy damage in a small area. B) More interestingly, turn it into a one-off super that deals decent damage, but has a super fast cooldown. Though it'd probably need some condition, like removing all super energy when you take it off, so you can't just get a fast super then switch off of it.

[@shshyie]

Ngl I've wanted Impossible machines to come back as an exotic that changes stormtrance to let you recast landfall as a sort of "heavy attack" that jolts targets Maybe even have it let you consume your grenade to cast landfall out of your super. Now just need some strandy gloves made around my threadling babies

[@SoundestTax]

Twilight garrison would be so easy to bring to d2. Just have it allow thruster to be used while airborne, grant a second charge, and some ae like they do for other movement exotics

[@lazeatscrayons2426]

But then the warlocks complain

[@SquishyGore]

As a warlock main, this is perfectly fine lol. Bring Garrison back!

[@jaycup7289]

D2 community doesn't deserve Twilight after harrasing that one dev who said it probably won't come back

[@BailyC295]

While I agree with you, that dev probably shouldn’t have implied that the Twilight Garrison movement was inherently a warlock thing. That’s what started it, not the fact that they weren’t gonna bring it back the fact that that’s what they choose to say and as a titan main, it made me mad too. *That said, I still don’t agree with how far the community took it.*

[@Dumbface_Timelost]

I don't think twilight should come back because thruster dodge exists

[@Xlaws]

Based

[@JamesTheHuman]

I AM NOT CONDONING OR DOWNPLAYING THE HARASSMENT THAT THE DEV RECEIVED but it was a massive shit take especially because he said it around the time 3.0 subclasses were being added which kind of invalidated the whole "class identity" argument. He could have given a valid response to why Twilight isn't coming back instead of the snarky one he gave

[@PenguinSprite]

​@@Dumbface_Timelostthey'd probably just make it where it gives an extra thruster charge and make you amplified

[@maxl8623]

I want ruin wings bad. Having an exotic make heavy weapons get way more uptime would open up an entire new variety of builds around heavy exotics

[@JG54206]

I want Achlyophage Symbiote back. It would probably allow multi shot GG to do more damage than Nighthawk and I think that’s fair considering you would need to land 4 straight crits to get the extra damage as opposed to just one crit.

[@bobdavidson1320]

Destiny 1 gives me so much nostalgia man

[@midgetmasher166]

the stag wishes it was as cool as the ram

[@pivotTninja]

I loved number 25... Never took lion rampants off because it was as close as i could get in d2. The final shape was so perfect it actually hurts.

[@riskrunner4532]

The mask of the third man has the perfect chance to come back with the new arc super.

[@derrickf8053]

I love Ruin Wings and never took it off once I got it.

[@dennismuller5148]

Obsidian mind could have void smoke coming out of little crackles on the helmet if they bring it back

[@purplearmour]

Twilight arsenal should be a thruster specific exotic, that gives multiple benefits that isn't just the ability to thrust in the air. Have a good rest of y'all's day (IDK how many people worked in this so I texted y'all).

[@yojimarusilverfang]

Not even exotic, but I wish the class items you could buy from The Speaker in D1 were in D2. I miss my Spirit of the Vulture warlock band...

[@MythoFoxical]

Unfortunately for Taikonaut, Hazardous Propulsion now exists so there is almost no chance it returns to D2.

[@clanka5509]

They really could just give lion rampart the side thrust ability but I do want twilight garrison

[@SmoothTurtle840]

Mask of the Third Man was my very first exotic, I remember that day I had finally saved up enough Strange Coins to buy something from Xûr and was so happy to see he was selling such a cool Hunter exotic. Best part was that I really loved Bladedancer at the time.

[@js-reaperion]

Give warlocks back their pauldrons👏👏👏

[@updateguypls1088]

>Not sure how Thagomizers could work in D2 Make it work around Amplify. Off the top of my head, "Increases Amplified Duration. While Amplified, powered melees Jolt enemies. Rapid Jolt Kills sets the timer back to max." Not perfect, but a good launching point to rework Thagomizers

[@jackrabbitping]

Thagomizers are the spikes on a stegosaurus tail. I think the could make it work like a run through ads loke exotic. Tie it to elemental buffs. If not amped/Overshield/woven mail/frost armor/radiant a melee kill will proc said effect And when the corresponding effect is active make it proc the following effects if hit with an enemy melee or running near them: jolt or blind/volatile or weaken/scorch or restore and so on. Gaining multiple effects grants multiple benefits and grants transcendence energy Being transcendant procs all effects of the elemental buffs currently up. This would lean into the rampaging beast fantasy, charging into crowds of enemiee, could be supported by allies healing or buffing them with other effects.

[@jackrabbitping]

Allies grant woven mail amped and radiant, titan procs devour and gets a speedboost runs through an enemy field jolting, scorching gaining a shield severing. Allies could heal with the new auto. And maybe kills with buffs gained from allies gives allies transcendence energy idk

[@Aegxs]

When it comes to thagomizers, they really could just add another melee charge for every melee. Titans only have that for specific melees. We already have this for grenades, even though some grenades can have multiple charges in D2 anyway

[@Bersh-xq4jy]

I wish they would at least put HoIL as an universal ornament :/

[@SoundestTax]

Imagine if they did it as one of the combo ornaments. Have them both glow brighter when worn together

[@Bersh-xq4jy]

@@SoundestTax that's more in line with what I was thinking. The 2020 default solstice armor is a close second tho.

[@dizzykrogan]

Im glad you know which titan arms are the best

[@nice.one.mate.]

09:42 there's literally no reason for why this isn't in D2

[@jonataneriksson8216]

As you stated with twilight garrison. Would genuinely be cool to use thruster in-air. Maybe something more than just that like: "after using thruster, make an orb of power on your next final blow. Picking up orbs of power grant damage resistance for a brief time" or maybe "using thruster releases a shockwave that jolts nearby enemies and grants you damage resistance for a brief time". Just something more to make it on-par with other exotics.

[@Yilue]

I fricking knew twilight garison would be number 1 lol.

[@LimpForASimp_]

[@84m30]

Voidfang Vestments are the best looking warlock robes and I will die on that hill. Also one of the few robes that doesn’t make male warlocks look feminine lol

[@Forcer69]

Purifier Robes are my favorite, it just screams Master Mage to me

[@84m30]

@@Forcer69 both are peak warlock. Warlock fashion is tough because the robes take up like 80% of your character model, the other 4 items barely do anything in comparison. A classic, actual _guardian_ looking robe set that’s grounded and serious makes such a big impact

[@NapTimeGod]

On God man. Literally has some of the best drip.

[@ZestFestGaming]

all they have to do for garrison is allow thruster to be used in the air, its the same thing but just way more fun if it can be procd mid air

[@jamfilledjars]

Give me the Ram and Obsidian Mind and we’re good.

[@bobjohnson113]

I would love for #10 to return. Its what got my team and I through wrath of the machine.

[@branflakes5917]

I miss that screen at the end of a crucible match that showed which players got an exotic or randomly rolled weapon. Idk if people complained about that or got jealous or what happened?? But it was a nice way to show other players possible weapons could drop if they were lucky enough! Rng was harsh sometimes, but seeing someone get a really cool gun made me want to play the game more!

[@oshawhy6627]

Light beyond nemesis was my go to exotic (mind u I was 13 at the time) I loved how it looked and thought that reviving faster was the best thing in the game so it never came off

[@sirfeint6302]

Immolation Fists and The Mask of the Third Man were my favs. I would want them back for the drip alone... and of course the nostalgia.

[@primalfire7689]

10:07 I want this helmet so damn badly. And to have it reworked in a way that improves storm edge would be even better. Honestly the perfect chance of it returning would be the 3rd episode knowing that its hive theme and all.

[@swagtoliet8219]

Twilight should comeback as an ornament for hazardous and give it the ability to do the air dodge maybe even twice

[@DragonKnight90001]

3:50 I still want it back I just loved the design of it

[@Spartan101201]

I may be a Hunter main since D1’s launch to now, but man I absolutely love Light Beyond Nemesis. Easily one of the best helmets in all of Destiny look wise. 😩🖤

[@shshyie]

Honestly with Alchemist's Rainment, they could bring it back as just "passive Lead from Gold, shoot to loot, how rainmaker used to work and an on brick pickup, reloads weapons"

[@Project_415]

If they’re not gonna bring them back for gameplay reasons, at least give them to us as ornaments. Thagomizers might be useless in Destiny 2’s current gameplay landscape, but they’d still look awesome.

[@TiakOSRS]

Thruster should be able to be used mid-air by default honestly. Its so weird you can only use it on the ground.

[@firestar6]

Voidfang vestments would be really good in d2, make axion darts actually more useful and such. Ruin wings were good too but they decided to make that into a mod every character can equip which is okay but man I wisb they could come back. Even if the perk isn't increased ammo droprate I don't mind they looked really cool

[@kisukeurahara189]

I miss that helmet for the hunter with the 3 eyes. So simple, yet so smooth.

[@AlexCunradi]

While it would be nice to have some of these exotic armors back, the fact that we haven't had a single one added while multiple exotic weapons (Gjallerhorn, Dragon's Breath, Icebreaker, etc) have probably means that they'll never return.

[@LightSwitchGaming-145]

Would be cool to bring purifier robes back and allow it to Rez teammates in the range of the well when placed in gamemodes that allow revives.

[@mihalya.shilage6804]

Thagomizers could definitely be brought back just give it the ability to deal double melee damage and deal damage over time to enemy's that melee you and if balance somehow becomes an issue give it melee charges and when you run out of charges it consumes you melee ability and you have to wait till it charges before the exotic perk works again and you could have the lore reason be that the thagomizers break with each hit and nanites have to repair them

[@angrywizard3199]

Watching this I just want the d1 vibes back

[@Tigerbro6]

bro they were very clear twilight garrison is not coming back because it just became a warlock thing. I don't think they wanna give titans a airdash at this point.

Bones of Eao were a really good safety net for hunters learning to jump, but after 10 years of practice, i wouldn't use them if it was just that.

At this point titans wanting twilight is just a meme with everything we can do now. Would you rather keep what we have now or sacrifice all of it and go back to how d1 was if it meant you’d get twilight back? Anyone who says yes is tweaking but that’s just my garbage hunter (warlock) opinion lol.

[@Forcer69]

I mean, if it came back gave us two thruster charges, let us use it in the air and some extra perk for arc synergy I would probably never take it off. It’s not like most Titan exotics are required for most of the game.

[@cosmicfrank5465]

​​@@Forcer69that would be amazing and wouldn't feel broken. Having to use a thruster charge is a good way to balance it

@@Forcer69 True they definitely could do that IF they ever bring it back. But they probably won’t ever do that. So would you be willing to sacrifice everything for it? Tbh I have no idea why they haven’t just brought it back kinda a weird thing to gatekeep especially since it’d be a fun exotic and not a broken exotic.
