History of Contraverse Hold

Overview

Contraverse Hold are Exotic Warlock gauntlets from Forsaken-era Destiny 2. The intrinsic perk Chaotic Exchanger gives damage resistance while charging Void grenades and returns a random amount of grenade energy when a charged grenade hits. Stats favor Recovery and Discipline. The lore is by the scientist Tomek, who lost a "cosmic coin toss" against a parallel self.

Acquisition

• Exotic Engrams as a random drop (listed in game as "Exotic engrams; extremely rare world drops").
• Xûr, the weekend vendor, sells it occasionally for 23 Legendary Shards.
• Once you own it, the Exotic Kiosk lets you reacquire a lost copy.
• Into the Abyss, a Void subclass quest given by Ikora Rey, is also listed as a source. Its own steps reward a Void Aspect, so it is unclear whether it still gives these gauntlets.
