Destiny 2 introduced fishing as one of the new features in the game when Season of the Deep came out and this brought new ways to get rewards.

Aside from being able to increase your Sonar Station reputation, you get the chance to get a lot of equipment by fishing.

Some of this equipment can even be exotic gear, which requires that you catch Exotic Fish that can be deposited into the aquarium at the H.E.L.M.

What are Exotic Fishes?

Exotic Fishes are the rarest type of fish that you can obtain when you are fishing, and these can later be turned in at the aquarium to get Exotic Equipment.

These, however, are very rare, and obtaining them will need patience but will be very rewarding later on with the items you can get.

An Exotic Fish will be visible once caught, bearing the golden glow that exotics in the game have, and will also be shown on your screen when you pick up the fish.

How To Get Exotic Fish?

To obtain an Exotic Fish, you simply need to continue fishing until you get them but certain factors will increase the chances of getting them.

You will need to make sure that you have bait, which is automatically used and will be obtained as you do activities as this will increase the chance for rare fish.

It’s best to fish where there are more Guardians because this will increase your Focused Fishing meter, which will allow you to get more fish with better rarities.

Lastly, you should fish at an Exotic Fishing Pond as this will provide you with the best rewards, including Exotic Fish.
