The question of Exotic weapon drops in Destiny 2's Lost Sectors is a frequent one among Guardians. The short answer is: no, Exotics don't directly drop from Lost Sectors themselves. This is a common misconception stemming from the high-value loot often found within these challenging areas.

Understanding Lost Sector Rewards

Lost Sectors offer a variety of rewards, including powerful gear, enhancement cores, glimmer, and legendary weapons and armor. The loot pool is dependent on the specific Lost Sector and its difficulty (normal or master). While the rewards are valuable for upgrading your Guardian, they do not include Exotic weapons as a potential drop.

Where to Find Exotic Weapons

So, if Lost Sectors don't drop Exotics, where can you find them? There are several reliable methods:

• Exotic Quests: Many Exotic weapons are obtained by completing specific quests, often involving intricate storylines and challenging encounters. These quests are usually acquired from NPCs or through specific in-game events.

• Exotic Engrams: These engrams, deciphered at the Tower's Cryptarch, have a chance of rewarding Exotic weapons. They can be earned through various activities, including completing strikes, Crucible matches, and Gambit matches. Focusing your engrams at the Cryptarch can improve your odds of receiving a specific type of Exotic.

• World Drops (Rare): While uncommon, some Exotic weapons can randomly drop from any activity in the game. This is a low-probability outcome, and shouldn't be relied upon as a primary method of acquisition.

• Xur: This enigmatic vendor appears weekly in the game, offering a rotating selection of Exotic weapons and armor for purchase. He often offers a different Exotic each week, providing a predictable (if somewhat limited) source of Exotic items.

Master Difficulty and Misconceptions

The introduction of Master difficulty Lost Sectors added to the confusion. While the increased challenge and better rewards are alluring, they still don't include Exotics in their loot pool. The higher-tier loot consists of powerful legendary gear.

In conclusion, while Lost Sectors are excellent for obtaining powerful gear and other valuable resources, they are not a reliable source for acquiring Exotic weapons in Destiny 2. Focus on Exotic quests, engrams, and Xur's inventory for a more consistent approach.
