History of Gifted Conviction

Gifted Conviction is Exotic Hunter chest armor introduced with Destiny 2: The Final Shape.

Overview

Its exotic perk, The Gift of Certainty: activating Ascension or Tempest Strike throws bouncing explosives at nearby targets that Jolt and damage them, and jolting nearby targets grants you damage resistance. The flavor quote is from Ikora Rey: "Perfection is overvalued."

Acquisition

• The Final Shape campaign: completing the Legendary campaign on a Hunter lets you choose between Gifted Conviction and the exotic leg armor Balance of Power.
• Exotic armor focusing: Master Rahool can focus it for an Exotic Engram plus an Exotic Cipher (Destinypedia); Prima Games also notes exotic engrams can drop it.
