While you can upgrade your old exotic gear and armor to the new level 34 benchmarks, House of Wolves brings with it 3 entirely new pieces of Exotic’s for each class. The new exotics share a common theme in that their perks focus on powering up your super abilities or making them available faster. These perks match well with both of Destiny’s new end game activities: The Prison of Elders with it’s hordes of enemies, and the Trials of Osiris where you need every edge you can get to defeat the enemy team.

There are multiple ways to acquire each exotic with some methods currently unknown. We will keep the list updated with new ways to get the gear as we discover them.

ACD/O Feedback Fence (Gauntlets)

These gauntlets are perfect for brawlers or anyone type of close combat situation because not only do they increase your melee attack speed, they deal area of effect damage around you whenever you’re hit by a melee attack.

Peregrine Greaves

Not the greatest of perks on this pair of footwear, although the increased heavy ammunition is always helpful. The only other perk offered is a boost to Shoulder Charge damage in mid air, which seems much to situational to be useful.

Hunter

Celestial Nighthawk (Helmet)

Khepri’s Sting (Gauntlets)

Perfect for aspiring assassins, this set of gauntlets has one of the more unique and possibly overpowered perks around. Touch of venom will render you invisible after crouching in place and increases your melee attack damage from behind a whopping 400%.

Bones of EAO (Boots)

These boots have the useful perk of increasing your ammo and the questionable one of adding a third jump to the Hunters already jump happy build. While it doesn’t affect phase shift, the perk upgrades the double jump ability to be a triple jump, good for reaching those hard to reach places?

Source: Purchased from Xur / Possible Drops (???) / Engram Reward

Perks:

• Heavy Weapon Ammo: Increases the amount of Heavy Weapon ammunition you can carry.
• Not Bound By Law: Upgrades Double Jump with an additional jump.

Warlock

The Ram (Helmet)

In terms of style points, this warlock helmet takes first prize without a doubt. There are few things more intimidating than a guardian bearing down on you wearing a ram’s skull as a helmet. As the ram theme would suggest, this helmet works great in melee situations, with perks that regenerate your health and your super energy with each successful melee hit.

Source: Purchased from Xur / Possible Drops (???) / Engram Reward

Perks:

• Serpent’s Mouth: Causing damage with a grenade reduces your melee cool down.
• Serpent’s Tail: Causing damage with a melee reduces your grenade cool down.
• Burn Brighter: Activating Radiance from death disorients nearby enemies

Nothing Manacles (Gauntlets)

It looks like the grenade perks don’t stop at the robes. Voidwalkers would be well advised to try and get their hands on this set of gauntlets to increase the effectiveness of their grenades and drastically improve their cool down and range. With the tracking on Scatter Grenades it’s like having your very own Gjallahorn in the palm of your hand.
