Relativism is an Exotic cloak in Destiny 2 that lets Prismatic Hunters wield the powers of two different Exotic armor pieces simultaneously. This greatly broadens the range of buildcrafting for the Prismatic subclass, and players who are lucky with their drops can potentially make extremely powerful builds for their character.

Unlike other Exotic armor pieces in Destiny 2, Relativism (and its counterparts for other classes) drops with randomized perks, making the actual buildcrafting part more difficult than usual. In this guide, we'll be covering how to get Relativism as well as some of the best possible perk combos that you should be looking out for.

How to Get Relativism in Destiny 2

Destiny 2 Dual Destiny Clock Face Mechanic For Final Boss

Much like the other Exotic class items, players will need to finish the Dual Destiny mission in order to unlock Relativism as part of their Collections. This is a relatively difficult mission that requires perfect coordination between two players. It cannot be done solo or in a fireteam of three.

Once you do finish Dual Destiny, you'll be able to buy Relativism from Xur at the Tower, assuming he has it on sale. Otherwise, you can complete Dual Destiny again, or just hunt for chests in the Pale Heart.

The completion of Dual Destiny is a hard requirement. If you haven't finished the mission yet, Exotic class items will neither drop from chests nor be purchasable from Xur.
