    Best way to farm exotic components?

    So I finally landed a Bullet King, which seems a good match for my EP/skill build that does crazy-high status effect damage but is squishy and practically shoots spitballs.

    Problem is the BK is not exactly a "god roll," and of course I need the elusive exotic components to re-roll it.

    Are there any guides or suggestions to maximize said components for a few tries at the roll?

    P.S. I wish we could roll it like other weapons, maybe just with an equivalently higher cost?

    There's the exotic cache project you can do once a week.
    It's only one exotic per week but you will always get an exotic, so don't forget to do that.

    You can keep breaking down the black tusk holster and then pick up the components at a lv 4 control point. then fabricate it and break it down again and then back to the control points for more components. Unlike a mission its guaranteed to give you 1 exotic component - takes work to get em

    Or keep re-crafting the liberty pistol.
    Just make sure to have enough D50's at hand

    That's how I got the BK. Does that one include exotic components too? I don't recall it ever saying so...

    EDIT: Double-checked and I've retrieved that specific cache every week, and I still have 0 exotic components for reconfigure. :-(

    The project gives you 1 exotic item, no components. However if you get a repeat exotic then you generally consider that as a component when you deconstruct it.

    Top tip, have up to 4 characters so you can do this weekly project 4 times a week.

    Sorry, I meant you could deconstruct the exotic you get out of the exotic cache.
    It will at least give you one component.

    Or this isn't the quickest way, but going around missions + LZ to gather components for Liberty, Chatterbox, might be an idea too.
    Once you get the components, build them and deconstruct them.
    (Or could you just keep them to use.)

    Just play the game casually. Right now between weekly chests, leagues, seasons, and overall loot drops, just logging in and playing the game and doing projects floods you with exotics. If you want a particular exotic, just check for targeted loot. If you go with targeted loot of, say, gloves, you'll have 2-3 pairs of BTSU gloves after making the run maybe 5-10 times.

    It's like Christmas at the moment. I got 8 Exotics in the space of a couple of hours yesterday from random drops, the season rewards track, the SHD project, the Legendary project, and who knows where else. (I'd trade them all for a decent Gila chest with Vanguard on, though!)
