Ophidian Aspect is an Exotic gauntlet piece for Warlocks, introduced in Season 2.
Overview
The intrinsic perk, Cobra Totemic, improves weapon ready and reload speed and provides a small airborne-effectiveness benefit. Bungie's Season 21 tuning in May 2023 removed Ophidian Aspect's extended melee range. The item tooltip still lists extended melee range.
Acquisition
- Random drop from Exotic Engrams and extremely rare world drops.
- Master Rahool offers Novel Focusing for past-expansion Exotic armor; this option became available without a reputation-track reset on July 15, 2025.
- Re-obtainable from Collections after the first drop.
