Destiny 2 Root of Nightmares loot table: All raid weapons and armor

Root of Nightmares was the first raid added in Destiny 2 Lightfall, bringing with it one of the game’s most visually stunning activities, as well as a range of exciting weapons and armor for players to farm.

Added on March 10, 2023, Root of Nightmares is a raid set after the Witness and the Traveler’s epic confrontation that sees Guardians tasked with infiltrating an enemy Pyramid ship and taking down Nezarec, a powerful disciple of The Witness.

Overcoming this raid isn’t easy, but there’s great incentives to do so. Most notably, a whole heap of exciting weapons and armor, including an Exotic that can’t be found anywhere else. Here’s everything you need to know about the Root of Nightmares loot table to help you prepare for what lies ahead.

Root of Nightmares loot table

The Root of Nightmares loot table features an Exotic weapon, six legendary weapons, and three sets of armor, one for each class. These are acquired by completing the raid’s four encounters: Cataclysm, Scission, Zo’aurc, and Nezarec.

Here’s the full loot table for Root of Nightmares, detailing all of the weapons and armor you can earn from each encounter:

Exotic Weapon – Conditional Finality

Dexerto

Conditional Finality is an Exotic Shotgun that can be earned as a rare drop from the raid’s final encounter. This unique weapon cannot be acquired anywhere else, so you’ll need to complete runs of Root of Nightmares for a chance to unlock it.

Here are its Exotic Perks and their effects:

• Split Decision: Dual barrels split into Stasis and Solar damage.
• Paracausal Pellets: Landing nearly all Stasis pellets will freeze targets; landing nearly all Solar pellets will ignite targets.

This weapon fires Solar energy out of its left barrel and Stasis energy on its right barrel. The former triggers Ignitions, while the latter freezes combatants, providing the intrinsic ability to stun Unstoppable Champions. This effect stacks with artifact mods, potentially allowing it to stun multiple Champion types depending on what mods are active.

While it is fairly strong in PvE, Conditional Finality comes into its own in PvP. In the Crucible, it has been one of the most used weapons since it was released, with its consistency, range, and ability to freeze targets making it undeniably meta.

How to boost Conditional Finality’s drop rate

Just like with the Exotics in other raids, you have one chance to earn Conditional Finality each week, and the odds of receiving it are increased if you have completed certain triumphs.

Is Root of Nightmares’ loot farmable?

Ordinarily, this raid’s loot will only drop one item per character each week, so you can’t keep farming it over and over until you get the roll you want. However, if Root of Nightmares is the featured raid, this limit is removed, making the grind for god rolls and craftable weapons much faster.
