History of One-Eyed Mask

One-Eyed Mask is an Exotic Titan helmet introduced in Destiny 2: Forsaken.

Overview

Vengeance highlights an enemy that damages you; defeating that target grants an overshield, matching Bungie's current item definition. This perk has changed over time: the November 2019 update removed the kill overshield, while Update 2.8.0 in March 2020 restored it with a six-second duration, replaced wall tracking with highlighting, and removed the marked-target damage bonus. The old page's process notes and conflicting-summary language obscured that history.

Acquisition

Bungie’s July 15, 2025 Update 9.0.0.1 made Novel Focusing for Exotic armor from past expansions available immediately, without a Rahool rank reset.
