The Winterbite Exotic is one of the most exclusive Exotics in Destiny 2 and was released during the Lightfall expansion. For those with the expansion, working on the campaign or trying to find the Winterbite from a random drop won’t happen. The Winterbite is a specific Exotic that drops from one location, and you’ll have to fight your way through Lightfall’s post-campaign to find it. Here’s what you need to know about how to get the Winterbite Exotic Glaive in Destiny 2.
Where to find the Winterbite Exotic Glaive in Destiny 2
The way you get the Winterbite Glaive is by working on Quinn Laghari’s quests regarding Cloud Strider Records. You can unlock these quests when you complete the Lightfall campaign and have access to Cloud Strider Records in the Hall of Heroes. It’s in the northern part of the map. You need to complete the three main quests Quinn has for you, then you’ll unlock the Ultimate and Exotic, Strider.

The Strider mission can only be accessed after completing the other three. This is a seven-step quest that rewards the Winterbite upon completion. While it takes a bit of effort to complete these quests, it’s a better system than trying to wait for the weapon to drop for you while completing a Crucible, Gambit, or Vanguard activity in Destiny 2.
Winterbite was one of the most popular Exotics that Bungie teased before the release of Lightfall. He can send a ball of Statis across the battlefield, freezing enemies unfortunate enough to get under him during a fight. This is extremely useful if you need to take out multiple enemies and keep them in one place.
