Destiny 2 Khvostov 7G-0X: TFS Exotic Path (2026)

Destinypedia’s /Khvostov_7G-0X article is Destiny 1, Rise of Iron. That is the wrong gun. The Destiny 2 exotic is the Pale Heart / The Final Shape questline. We do not cite D1 perk tables here.

Search Console (site https://lfcarry.com/, 2026-08-02..08-29) already ranks the how-to on /d2/khvostov-7g0x-exotic: cluster 255 impressions / 0 clicks. That SKU is type=editor (API floor $20 opened Aug 30). We do not print it.

Shacknews (published June 17, 2024, read Aug 30, 2026):

1. Finish The Final Shape campaign → Micah-10 / Alone in the Dark
2. Collect 15 Lost Encryption Bits — 9 from region chests, 6 from Cysts
3. Legendary Khvostov from the Impasse chest
4. Collect 17 Motes of Light — 9 from Overthrow, 8 from Visions
5. Exotic at the old Tower

IGN’s matching walkthrough was blocked on scrape Aug 30, 2026 — not used. A second independent 2026 walkthrough we could open tonight = missing-evidence. Counts above are Shacknews-only, dated 2024, labeled as such.

Bungie Help: Update 9.7.0 / Monument of Triumph, June 9, 2026. The Pale Heart remains. Whether Micah-10, Cysts, Overthrow, and the old Tower step still complete the exotic = missing-evidence. We will not write “still works.” If your Director is missing a node, that is the question for Emily — not a sentence we invent.
