The best Titan Exotics in Destiny 2 allows for easier encounters in Raids, Dungeons, Nightfalls, and everything in between. Players will steamroll the competition, and there’s such a large selection to pick from, so here’s a look at the 10 best in the current and ever-changing meta.

10 Synthoceps

Enhanced Melee And Super Damage When Surrounded

Armor Type: Gauntlets
How To Get: Random Exotic Engram Drop
Armor Perk: Biotic Enhancements – When you’re surrounded, gain increased melee and Super damage, as well as improved weapon handling and reload speed

Synthoceps is utterly powerful in the right hands, and all players need to do to activate its perk is to be surrounded by enemies. With the right builds, players can punch their way through armies without a scratch. If punching isn’t their style, then they will also see a bonus to weapon handling and reload speed, allowing them to shoot their way out of a tight spot. Sadly, the recent nerf means that Biotic Enhancements doesn’t last as long as it did, but it’s still incredible.

9 Pyrogale Gauntlets

Turns Burning Maul Into A High-Damage Super

Armor Type: Gauntlets
How To Get: Lost Sectors and Exotic Armor Focusing
Armor Perk: Percussive Flames – Modifies Burning Maul into a single, high-damage slam of your hammer that creates several cyclones of flame. Consecration’s second slam creates a cyclone of flame.

Pyrogale Gauntlets are wonderful for enhancing the potential of Burning Maul. Burning Maul is one of the faster Supers that Titans can acquire, and the fact that this exotic will turn Burning Maul into a highly concentrated explosion of flame that is essentially the Titan version of Golden Gun for Hunters, makes it a must-have when it comes to boss DPS phases. The addition of cyclone of flames from Consecration is also great for those who enjoy more melee potential.

8 Wishful Ignorance

Extra Frenzied Blade Charges With Increased Damage And Melee Energy

Armor Type: Gauntlets
How To Get: Tier 3 Exotic Armor Focusing / The Final Shape Legendary Campaign Reward
Armor Perk: Wish-Dragon’s Talons – Gain an additional Frenzied Blade charge. Frenzied Blade and Flechette Storm briefly increase their damage with each strike. Pulses from your Banner of War return melee energy based on the number of allies healed.

An Exotic introduced in The Final Shape, Wishful Ignorance brings perfect harmony to Strand, as it will enhance the abilities of Frenzied Blade and Flechette Storm. With Wishful Ignorance, players will have 4 total charges of Frenzied Blade, allowing for a flurry of death. Even better, each strike deals more damage, and the fact that melee energy will return when fighting alongside allies with Banner of War pulsing, makes for a grand choice when it comes to a Strand Titan build.

7 Path of Burning Steps

Protection Against Stasis And Bonus Weapon Damage With Solar Final Blows

Armor Type: Leg Armor
How To Get: Random Exotic Engram Drop
Armor Perk: Firewalker – Solar final blows periodically grant you an escalating bonus to weapon damage, and Solar Grenade final blows grant you the highest bonus. You are harder to slow or freeze with Stasis, and when you break out, you take no damage from doing so, creating a burst of Solar energy around yourself.

Path of Burning Steps is completely viable, especially with The Final Shape’s new enemy type, the Dread. The Dread loves to use Stasis, so countering them with Path of the Burning Steps is going to feel great, especially since being slowed and frozen is a near-death sentence. The escalating weapon damage increase from Solar final blows is also a nice touch, if not a little less than one would like, but still great in the long run.

6 Hazardous Propulsion

Load Kinetic Rockets And Enhance All Rocket Damage

Armor Type: Chest Armor
How To Get: Tier 3 Exotic Armor Focusing / The Final Shape Legendary Campaign Reward
Armor Perk: Danger Close – Weapon precision hits or final blows have a chance to load a Kinetic Exodus rocket. Activating your class ability fires loadout Exodus rockets. Damaging targets with Exodus rockets temporarily increases the damage you deal with all other rockets.

Titans are great at two things: punching everything that moves and blowing stuff up. With Hazardous Propulsion, they can see further advantages to the latter, where every kill and precision hit will grant Kinetic Exodus rockets. These rockets are fired by using the Titan class ability, and they deal a ton of damage to the targets they seek out. Even better still, is the enhancement to other rockets, whether that’s a rocket sidearm or a rocket launcher, players can essentially buff their damage potential just by throwing up a Barricade.

5 Dunemarchers

Faster Sprinting And Chain Melee Attacks

Armor Type: Leg Armor
How To Get: Random Exotic Engram Drop
Armor Perk: Linear Actuators – Increased sprint speed. Sprinting builds up a static charge. After melee-attacking an enemy, that charge will chain damage to nearby enemies.

Dunemarchers is perhaps the best Titan Exotic for PvP for its ability to allow players to sprint faster, but it’s also completely viable in PvE. If players want to move fast and become more agile as a walking tank, then Dunemarchers is for them, especially when running for a short while will build a static charge to melee-attack enemies that chains the damage forward, taking out armies of Thrall and lesser enemies in the process.

4 Heart of Inmost Light

Using An Ability Empowers All Other Abilities

Armor Type: Chest Armor
How To Get: Random Exotic Engram Drop
Armor Perk: Overflowing Light – Using an ability (grenade, melee, or Barricade) empowers the other two abilities. Empowered means abilities have faster regen, melees and grenades do more damage, and Barricades have more hit points.

Whilst Heart of Inmost Light has been nerfed in recent years, it’s still a completely viable Titan Exotic for endgame content. Players can easily throw down their Barricade, an ability rarely used by Titans when compared to Melee and Grenades, and become rewarded with enhanced versions of the other two abilities not used. These abilities will deal more damage and regenerate faster, allowing for a flurry of combat with the right builds.

3 Lorely Splendor Helm

Create Sunspots With Barricade Or When Critically Wounded

Armor Type: Helmet
How To Get: Random Exotic Engram Drop
Armor Perk: Cauterizing Flame – While you have a Solar Super equipped, casting your Barricade or becoming critically wounded with full class ability energy creates a Sunspot at your location.

Lorely Splendor Helm is essentially an extra life, as it will grant a Sunspot at a player’s location when they are critically wounded, provided that they have a Barricade at the ready. Since Titans rarely use their Class Abilities, saving it to essentially receive a free spot of fast healing is going to be great for endgame activities, especially for the Titans out there that enjoy a solo flawless Dungeon. However, this Exotic Helmet requires players to be only in the Solar subclass.

2 Stronghold

Improved Stats And Healing With Swords

Armor Type: Gauntlets
How To Get: Random Exotic Engram Drop
Armor Perk: Clenched Fist – Maximizes guard stats on equipped Swords. You take reduced damage while blocking with a Sword. Rapidly damaging targets after blocking shots with a Sword grants restoration for a duration determined by the number of shots blocked.

Swords are always a fun way to play in Destiny 2, and with the recent Ergo Sum in Destiny 2, players might want to give Exotic Swords a try. Enhanced completely thanks to Stronghold, players will see great advantages to their Sword gameplay, where they can block tons more damage without risk of injury, and plenty of restoration to heal them based on the damage blocked and the damage dealt to enemies in their path.

Guardians can forge their own destiny by acquiring Ergo Sum, a unique Exotic Sword in Destiny 2: The Final Shape.

1 Precious Scars

Create Bursts Of Healing And Grant Overshield On Revives

Armor Type: Helmet
How To Get: Random Exotic Engram Drop
Armor Perk: Kintsugi – Final blows from weapons with a damage type matching your Super create a burst of healing around you that grants allies restoration. After reviving or being revived, you gain an aura that provides overshields to you and nearby allies.

Thanks to the Kintsugi trait, players that wield Precious Scars will see great advantages to their damage and their aiding of allies. The fact that players can create bursts of healing with every kill for both them and allies, as well as receive an overshield for a revive or being revived, makes this a great Exotic Helmet for endgame content, where enemies are thrust upon Guardians from every angle. The only thing that might make players reconsider Precious Stars is the fact that to activate, players need final blows from a weapon that matches their Super, meaning a Solar Titan must use a Solar weapon to see restoration granted.
