How to get the Dawn Chorus Exotic Warlock Helmet

Getting this exotic gear item is far from easy and is contingent upon your power level and a little bit of luck. Let’s take a look at these requirements and ensure that you understand what to do exactly so you don’t end up wasting your time and effort.

Requirements for the Dawn Chorus Exotic Warlock Helmet

Similar to obtaining other Exotic gear in the latest expansion, the Dawn Chorus Helmet requires you to reach at least 1200 power level first. Thereafter, you’ll have to access one of the following from the Director:

  • Legendary Lost Sectors (Power Level 1250)
  • Master Lost Sectors (Power Level 1280)

Both of these have to be completed solo in Europa or the European Dead Zone. This is an important requirement to note. If you play with allies, you won’t receive the exotic drops.

Fair warning: These are amongst the hardest game challenges as the enemies are ultra-strong and will require you to be on your best game. Also, once you eliminate the boss, you will also have to kill all the champions for the helmet to drop.

And then there’s the luck factor: specific gear items drop only on certain days. Therefore, before you begin either the Legendary or Master Lost Sectors, ensure that the Dawn Chorus Exotic Warlock Helmet is mentioned as a reward upon completing the mission. On top of that, you should also be playing on ‘Warlock’. This should keep you from being disappointed at the end of the run.

But don’t be dejected by all these requirements. There’s some hope in getting the Dawn Chorus Exotic Warlock Helmet as it has a fairly decent drop rate. On the Legendary difficulty, its rating is ‘Uncommon’, while on the Master difficulty, it’s ‘Common’.

That means you have a good chance of receiving the coveted Exotic Helmet at the end of the game, that is if you can manage to survive.
