Destiny 2 Season of the Deep brings major improvements to Exotic armor acquisition and reworks.

Bungie is introducing Exotic armor focusing in Destiny 2, allowing players to influence what they get from an Exotic engram. Rahool at the Tower will offer two options to influence the drop, Advanced Decryption and Precision Decryption, with the latter allowing players to focus on a specific piece of Exotic armor of their choice. Bungie is also planning to buff "more than 15" of Destiny's "lower-performing" Exotic armors, while others will get unspecified balance changes. These changes will go live with the launch of Season 21, Season of the Deep, which is expected to begin on May 23.
