What Is The Sarru Exotic Backpack?
The Sarru is a new exotic backpack introduced with the Red Moon Rising Title Update (TUY8S3.1). Unlike most gear pieces, it carries three core attributes instead of a single red core, amplifying both weapon and skill damage through its unique lunar-cycle mechanic.’

How Decoy King Works?
While in combat, the Moon cycles through eight distinct phases every 5 seconds. Starting from a New Moon, all damage you deal is Amplified by 5%, increasing by 5% per phase until it peaks at 25% during a Full Moon. From there, the amplifier gradually decreases back to New Moon, restarting the cycle.
Here’s the standout mechanic: deploying a Decoy during a Full Moon grants it Overcharge and pauses the cycle for 10 seconds — locking in that 25% damage amplification for a sustained burst window.
How To Get The Sarru?
Right now, the Sarru drops exclusively from the XB-35 “Phoebe” Marauder in the PvE Dark Zone during the Red Moon Rising event. It cannot currently be obtained through exotic caches, targeted loot, Countdown, Retaliations, or open-world activities — RNG determines the drop, so expect multiple Phoebe runs before securing it.
The Division series has built its endgame identity around this kind of layered loot chase, a design philosophy rooted in looter-shooter mechanics that have shaped online multiplayer gaming for years (read more about the looter shooter genre on Wikipedia).
Once Red Moon Rising ends on November 3, the Sarru joins the general exotic loot pool, making it target-farmable like other exotics — though still without a blueprint.
