I believe it just means you will get a piece. With the exotics now able to roll with random intrinsic perks ,you will try getting god rolls. It shows a helmet, so it will be a piece of armor, not a weapon.

There are also two resources listed, [i]Enhancements Prisms (Common)[/i] and [i]Ascendant Shards (Uncommon)[/i]. One might speculate that they are among the new resources/materials required to upgrade/enhance/modify exotic gear in some new way...
-
They are used to upgrade armor, enhancement cores level armor up to 4 or 5, prisms upgrade from 4 or 5 to 8 or 9, and the shards complete the armor out. The higher your armor, the more or better armor mods you can use. 10 is the highest armor ranking you can achieve.

Interesting. I'm wondering about the 'Common' descriptor. Do you think this is referencing all non-god roll exotic armor drops?
-
It sound as if it's indicating the drop rates for that class of rewards. An exotic isn't guaranteed, but you're likely to get it while running that difficulty.
-
If it is like d1, it means that an exotic drop is guaranteed to drop after the 1st run.
