How to get the Fallen Sunstar Exotic Helmet in Destiny 2

There have been new Exotic armor pieces almost every Season in Destiny 2, with the notable exception of Season of the Seraph. New to Season 18, Season of Plunder, was a Warlock Exotic Helmet called Fallen Sunstar. Designed specifically for Arc 3.0 builds, it supercharges Ionic Traces, long a good source for ability energy, and allows them to move faster toward you and provide even more ability regeneration. Paired with even a half-decent build that focuses on both Traces and Elemental Wells, you will almost never have ability downtime. Here’s how to get the Fallen Sunstar.

Where to farm the Fallen Sunstar in Destiny 2

There are four ways to get your hands on the Fallen Sunstar, and one is far more deterministic than the other.

• Farm Legend or Master difficulty Lost Sectors. Every day, one of the Destiny 2’s Lost Sectors opens up for Legend and Master difficulty. Completing them has a chance to award an Exotic from the armor slot listed on the Sector’s description. If you’re missing one or more Exotics from that slot, any drops you get will fill in what you don’t yet have in your Collections. To get the Fallen Sunstar, then, wait until the Legend Lost Sector for the day awards Head armor, and run it until you earn the helmet.

• Wait for Xur to sell it and buy his Exotic engram every week. When the weekend arrives, find Xur somewhere in the system and he’ll have a selection of three Exotic armor pieces. You can also buy an Exotic from him for 97 Legendary Shards which has a better chance of awarding an Exotic you don’t yet have.
• Farm high-difficulty Nightfall Strikes. Nightfall Strikes on any difficulty have a chance at providing a piece of Exotic armor, but the chances at Fallen Sunstar are slim, as the loot pool encompasses every armor piece available to you.
• Wait until you get a random Exotic drop out in the wild. One of the worst ways to get Fallen Sunstar is by waiting for an Exotic engram to drop from an enemy out in the world. These can also include weapons, so the pool is even larger.
• Pull an Exotic from the Premium Season Pass. Like random drops, there’s no guarantee of anything good from a Season Pass Exotic, though if you did purchase it, the drops are perhaps the easiest to get.
