There are two spots in the VoG where you can get an exotic, one is a chest right before the gorgons, the other is from Atheon.
Two spots in Crota's End, one is now (they changed this from the first chest of the raid) when you kill the deathsinger, the other is from killing Crota. (Both raids you can only get the potential of the drop once a week as well).
Exotics also have an EXTREMELY low drop rate, I'm talking like .01% from Crucible games and Vanguard Roc/Tiger strikes. (Unsure about the tiger strikes).
Then there are 5 exotic guns you can only get from their respective bounty.
Thorn (Handcannon)
Super Good Advice (Heavy Machine Gun)
Bad Juju (Pulse Rifle)
Invective (Shotgun)
Pocket Infinity (Fusion Rifle)
To get the bounties all you have to do is do other bounties and it will eventually give you a choice of 3 to pick from. I find great success in getting the bounties if you turn in like 5+ at once.
