Destiny 2 – How to get Assassin’s Cowl

Where to find the Assassin’s Cowl

You can get Assassin’s Cowl by doing Legend Lost Sectors with your Hunter on the days when Exotic Helmet is on the reward rotation. There are plenty of websites that show you that info.

If you are new to Destiny 2, then let me tell you that Xur is one of the best sources of obtaining Exotic weapons and armor in the game. Here are all the set locations of Xur where he normally arrives.

Assassin’s Cowl has a chance to drop from Exotic Engrams that drop randomly while doing PvE activities. An Exotic Engram can drop from any source. It can come from a rank and file enemy, a powerful enemy, or a boss. The more exotics you have in your collection book, the better your chances of getting the Assassin’s Cowl from an Exotic Engram will get.

Assassin’s Cowl – Description

Assassin’s Cowl is an Exotic Helmet for the Hunter class in Destiny 2. It is one of the best PvP Exotics that you can get for the Hunter class. If you are a player who loves to rush towards the faces of the opponents, hit them with a shotgun and finish the remaining health with a melee attack, then this Exotic is for you. You will get invisibility and almost 50% of your health back immediately after you land a melee attack on your opponent. You don’t even have to have a fully charged melee attack.

I don’t know whether this Exotic is suppose to work like this or is it just a temporary glitch. Because getting invisibility for 5 seconds and health restoration with just a normal melee attack sounds pretty broken to me.

Also if you are an Arcstrider user then you will love this exotic even more. The eliminations with the Arcstrider Super get counted as melee eliminations so you will become invisible every time you get an elimination while using your super. I haven’t touched Spectral Blades even once after I got this Exotic.

Intrinsic Perk

Vanishing Execution – Defeating a Guardian with a melee attack or a combatant with a finisher grants invisibility and restores a portion of health and shields. [Yikes!]
