The new Destiny 2 Exotic Class Items arriving in The Final Shape allow players to create utterly ridiculous Prismatic builds by combining certain Exotic armor perks. While these Class Items are still bound to each of the three Classes, the perks they can roll with take inspiration from an array of Exotic armor across Destiny 2, regardless of Class, letting you create some never-before-seen perk combinations for your Prismatic builds. Here are all the new Destiny 2 Exotic Class item perks that you'll be able to mix and match in The Final Shape.

In Destiny 2 The Final Shape, players will be able to unlock a new Exotic Class Item that only works with the Light/Darkness hybrid Subclass, Prismatic. In the same spirit as Prismatic's Subclass-blending abilities, this Class Item randomly rolls with two perks inspired by Exotic armor pieces. You'll be able to earn them the week after The Final Shape releases in a new activity that will unlock after the Raid race.

As explained in this Bungie blog, each Class's Class Item has two slots to fill, each with eight possible perks. That means there are some limitations in terms of perk combinations as you can't freely combine all 16 perks, but there are still some powerful options. Furthermore, several of the perks are inspired by armor pieces from the other two Destiny 2 Classes, letting you use perks that have never previously been available. For example, the Warlock Class Item can roll with perks inspired the Assassin's Cowl Hunter helmet and Heart of Inmost Light Titan chest.

These perks are not always exact copies and may be missing some effects, so they aren't as good as the proper Exotic armor pieces on their own, but it means some extremely powerful perk combinations can be created for your Prismatic Subclass, and you'll want to hunt down the right perk rolls for your build. To help you understand exactly what's possible with this new system, and even start planning, here's a list of the Exotic Class item perks for each Class in Destiny 2 The Final Shape:
