Although they vary in how useful they are, Exotics inDestiny 2add some spice to the gameplay. Players will build craft around Exotics, especially when it comes to maximizing survivability or damage in high end PvE encounters. SinceExotics are mostly acquired randomly, players will spend a lot of their in-game time hunting them down unless they get really lucky.
Even Exotics in more difficult activities are still random drops, including Exotics likeNecrotic Grip. But the hunt is worth it, asNecrotic Gripis very useful in PvE activities. Here is howDestiny 2players can getNecrotic Grip.

How to GetNecrotic Grip
Necrotic Gripis an Exotic Gauntlet that can be used only be Warlocks. This Exotic was first added into the game back during Beyond Light in 2020. At this point, Exotic Armor was eitherbought from Xuror acquired as a random drop in any activity. This was too reliant on RNG, so Bungie made some significant changes to how new Exotic Armor could be acquired.All new Exotic Armor from Season 12 onward drops from Legend/Master Lost Sectors exclusively.
The tricky part about these new Exotics, however, is that they can only drop if completing those activities solo. As if that isn’t difficult enough, the drop rate on these Exotics is really low. Even on Master,it can take numerous attemptsfor players to successfully acquire an Exotic from completing a Legend/Master Lost Sector. One final important thing to know is that the type of Exotic Armor that is available changes daily.
In order to see the current daily Legend/Master Lost Sector, players must be high enough Power level to see it and also have completed that Lost Sector on normal difficulty. Otherwise, the Lost Sector will not show up on the Director.
For example, on one day it might be only Exotic Head Armor that drops. Then on the next day, it will be Exotic Chest Armor that drops. So if players want to getNecrotic Grip, they will have to farm Legend/Master Lost Sectors on days when it is Gauntlet armor that drops.
What is the Exotic Perk ofNecrotic Grip
Necrotic Griphas a very powerful Exotic Perk that can potentially clear out an entire room of enemies. When players have Necotic Grip equipped and melee a target, a poison debuff will apply to the target that does increasingly more damage over time. The best part of this perk is that when a target dies with the poison debuff, the poison will spread to other nearby targets. If those targets die from the poison effect, the debuff will keep spreading to other nearby targets until there are no other targets to spread to.
Best of all,Necrotic Griphas synergy with all Weapons of Sorrow. The Weapons of Sorrow areThorn,Osteo Striga, andTouch of Malicee. WithThorn, the poison effect will spread to other targets ifNecrotic Gripis equipped. WithOsteo Strigaand the Catalyst, poison kills caused byNecrotic Gripwill overflow themagazine forOsteo Striga. ForTouch of Malice, getting kills or using the Blight will cause poison to spread.
In addition to that, if players have a Glaive equipped along withNecrotic Grip, the melee from the Glaive will apply the poison debuff as well. As a result, combiningNecrotic Gripwith any of the weapons listed above can easily wipe out entire groups of enemies within seconds. This is especiallyuseful in the Lightfall legendarycampaign.
