Creating the perfect Guardian for your playstyle in Destiny 2 is more than just selecting the right subclass and perk cluster, it’s about collecting armor, especially if it’s Exotic armor. Exotic Armor is returning in Destiny 2, with some old favorites making an appearance and some new items being added to the roster.
While not of the Exotic Armor pieces are currently known, below is a collection of all the pieces revealed or leaked so far. We will continue update the list as we discover new items! Be sure to check out the Destiny 2 Exotic Weapons list for every Exotic weapon in the game.
Titan Exotic Armor
There are a few returning Titan Exotic Armor pieces, but a lot of them are new to Destiny. One of the most interesting pieces would have to be the Lion Rampant leg pieces that "provide additional aerial maneuverability" which is likely the new version of Twilight Garrison.

Hunter Exotic Armor
Though we know the names of all the Hunter Exotic Armor pieces, there are some blank spaces as to what they actually do. All the Gauntlets are still unknown, as is the Knucklehead Radar. If Destiny is anything to go by, Knucklehead Radar is likely to keep the radar active while aiming down sights, which is a huge addition when considering the time it takes the radar to re-appear once you finish ADSing.

Warlock Exotic Armor
There is shockingly little information out there regarding Exotic Armor for the Warlock, however, it is nice to see that Warlocks will in fact be receiving Exotic Leg Armor straight out of the gate, instead of having to wait three years for some average boots. It will be interesting to see what all the Gauntlets do, but I'm guessing the Sunbracers will be sold by Xur for the first five weeks.
