Clan, as the name suggests, is a group of other players which can be joined to take out missions with them. Joining this such groups enhances your online gaming experience. We will discuss Raid, Exotics, and Clans of Destiny 2 in detail but first, we need to talk about the game. Destiny 2 is a first-person shooting video game released by the collaboration of Activision and Bungie. It was released in 2017 for multiple platforms like PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows (PC). It is considered as the subsequent expansion and sequel of the series first game which was released in 2014. Elements of role-playing gameplay are added in this game but the game is set in an open-world environment with Multiplayer online gaming mode. There are two types of activities in the gameplay, Player versus Environment (PvE) and Player versus player (PvP). The player has to follow story-based missions but also he can play in a raid which has six players involved and "Strikes" in which three players are involved.
The player plays the game through the perspective of a character named as "Guardian" who once used to wield the power of Light which can protect the last City of Earth. He is the protector of this last safe city of earth and this power of light was what he can use to protect this city, he wields this power from aliens of different races. One of the races of Aliens named "The Cabal" whose leader is Dominus Ghaul infiltrates into the last city and consumes all the power. Now the player has to assume Guardian's role to regain this power so that the city can be saved for the possible enemies. There are many add-on contents which will get you more missions and stories, this feature is similar to the previous edition of the series.
There are different ways you can get these items, the most common of all is to Decrypt Exotic Engrams. You can also pick up them by participating in Public Events, chests or Crucible matches and getting rewards from them. Other sources of these items are Xur (Special Vendors), Special quests and missions, Bright Engrams or you can get them by increasing your drop rate with three of coins. There are certain exotics which are really powerful and they require many steps to be done in order to unlock them. The list of these weapons and armor is very long but we have tried to gather all of them in a single place.
