What exotics can a f2p possibly get?
I know that as a f2p, nightfall, GM, some lost sectors maybe even prophecy might drop exotics.

But what is the pool of exotics that I can possibly get?

Just check the collections tab in-game. If it has the Red War, CoO or Warmind icon in the top-left of the thumbnail then you can get it on a F2P account.

Exotics can always drop, from every activity and enemy, just very rarely. Certain activities increase these drop rates such as higher difficulty Nightfalls and Legendary & Master Lost-Sectors. Xur appears at a random location from 18:00 BST on Fridays to 18:00 BST on Mondays, he sells 3 random exotics, one for each class, and also has a quest you can purchase that rewards you with an Exotic cipher; you can either use these Exotic ciphers to craft old Exotics from the Exotic vault or trade them with Xur for a random Exotic, you can also just purchase a random Exotic engram from him sometimes.

I don´t think you actually read the title.
Nevertheless, I don´t see why OP is asking this question instead of just playing the game and see what he gets.

Warmind,Osiris exotics will drop for F2Ps
you can get every red war exotic aside legend of acrius (no free raids)
you can get the seasonal exotics . lord of wolves by doing spider bounties (yes it drops)
i believe malfesance can drop since it was listed in older patch notes but im not sure.
Exotic drops can be viewed via a exotic engram (check in season pass)

Aren't lord of wolves and malfeasance tied to Forsaken? I'm pretty sure malfeasance is still obtained via it's original quest.

Im a F2P and got a LOW drop via bounties.
I remember some people discussing malf quest being available to everyone, but i think the quest doesnt drop from the servitor anymore-

As well as the gear from Year 1, F2P can obtain select Y2/3 weapons too.
I remember Bad Juju, Outbreak Perfected and Whisper of the Worm were all available. Their quests are gone but they are in the memorial kiosk.

As was already mentioned, the free track of the season passes unlock the seasonal exotic weapons at Lv35, Eriana's Vow, Symmetry, Tommy's Matchbook, Witherhoard, Duality and Ticcu's Divination. Rahool has some of them, not sure if all of the past ones can be obtained by F2P right now.

Out of the Y2/3 world drops, Lord of Wolves has always been available to non-Forsaken owners (that was a specific exception). F2P can also obtain Arbalest, and Monte Carlo. Not sure why those were picked in particular.

They definitely SAID Malfeasance is available to all (so F2P can earn Dredgen perhaps?), but I hear it is bugged so.

The Malfeasance exotic quest no longer requires owning the Forsaken expansion. Players who pick-up the New Light Malfeasance Intro quest will now be awarded the "Darkness In the Light" quest step upon killing the Ascendant Servitor Primeval boss.

Lastly F2P can obtain Thunderlord (which is a Y2 Dawning weapon) and I assume they can also earn Heir Apparant from Guardian Games?

that is because if i know the pool of possible items that can drop, I can make a better decision to stay f2p or purchase a season pass etc. Not interested in grinding for hours just to find out otherwise haha.

thanks for this, so are you saying that only the items that the engram may contain in this season are the only ones that can be dropped in f2p?

You can also use the kiosk to get access to the rest excluding acrious ofc.
