All Crota’s End weapons, perks, and rolls in Destiny 2

Destiny’s Crota’s End raid has arrived in Destiny 2, letting guardians (re)live one of the most iconic moments in the franchise. Some Crota’s End weapons from the original raid are also returning, with the Necrochasm Exotic auto rifle as the most remarkable of the bunch.

In addition to Necrochasm—which will be a quest reward—players can get their hands on a selection of revamped Crota’s End weapons. To keep them in line with the Destiny 2 sandbox, these guns will have new perks and some will even have a different element.

D1 players can spot familiar names, but if you’re taking on Crota’s End for the first time, odds are you won’t forget some of the weapons in this list. These weapons have unusual archetypes that are uncommon in the general game, much less in raid weapons. With the right rolls and perks, however, they could become quite the threat to the enemies of the Vanguard.

We’re looking forward to seeing Song of Ir Yût get a perk combination that’s crowned Apex Predator as one of the best rocket launchers in the game, which could potentially dethrone Commemoration from the Deep Stone Crypt.

Here are the Crota’s End weapons in Destiny 2 if you want to know what’s worth farming and which Deepsights you should get first.

All weapons in Crota’s End and their perks

The returning Crota’s End weapons boast some great perks in general, but they’re held back by their archetypes. They’re off the beaten path, which cuts both ways: You can get, for instance, a 260rpm Strand scout but you’ll also get a 180rpm Void hand cannon.

Here are the perks and rolls for Crota’s End weapons, as data-mined in the Destiny 2 Definitions Archive.

Necrochasm (Auto Rifle, Exotic)

• Cursebringer: Precision final blows with this weapon trigger a Cursed Thrall explosion. Final blows with Cursed Thrall explosions refill the magazine.
• Desperation: Reloading after a precision final blow or a final blow with a Cursed Thrall explosion increases your rate of fire and improves stability and aim assist.

Necrochasm isn’t available as a random drop. Instead, players who beat Crota can take on the Bottomless Pit quest from the raid vendor. Much like in D1, players will have to upgrade the white-rarity Husk of the Pit into the Legendary Eidolon Ally (this time with Perpetual Motion/Rangefinder and the Cursed Thrall origin trait). After that, they must collect Essence of the Oversoul to transform it into the actual Necrochasm.

Fang of Ir Yût (Scout Rifle, Strand, Rapid-Fire Frame, 260rpm)

Fang of Ir Yût comes with a Rapid-Fire Frame and a Strand element, opening up more options for Strand users. It has a stocked perk pool, with a few different ways to boost damage and a series of usability perks. We’re extremely fond of how this weapon handles, despite its bad recoil direction. Arrohead Brake helps, but if you don’t have it, stability can work as a stopgap.

Song of Ir Yût (Machine Gun, Arc, Adaptive Frame, 450rpm)

The Crota’s End machine gun may channel Ir Yût’s Deathsong, and with its perk combinations, it’s hard not to believe that. It’s an LMG with Reconstruction and Bait and Switch. If you’re using it for boss damage, that’s the roll you want (with Target Lock as a backup). But for sheer add clear, aim for Reconstruction or Demolitionist with Voltshot or Sword Logic.

Swordbreaker (Shotgun, Strand, Lightweight Frame, 80rpm)

Swordbreaker is back as a Strand shotgun, with an obvious change in element and slot. It has a few tricks up its sleeve (including Hatchling in a shotgun) and brings the new Barrel Constrictor perk: “Final blows with this weapon reduce the projectile spread of its next shot for a short duration.” Add in Cursed Thrall for some extra explosions and Sword Logic for damage, and you’re looking at a solid weapon.

Word of Crota (Hand Cannon, Void, Precision Frame, 180rpm)

Word of Crota has an amazing perk pool, but a terrible archetype. We would have loved to have this hand cannon as a 140, but if you’re into Precision Frames, you’ll have a field day with this one.

Abyss Defiant (Auto Rifle, Solar, High-Impact Frame, 360rpm)

Abyss Defiant is bringing some spicy rolls, though its archetype may not be the most favorable for fans. It’s definitely worth chasing, though, at least for us: With Heal Clip, Reconstruction, Outlaw, and Subsistence in the third column and Incandescent, Kill Clip, Sword Logic, and Target Lock, there’s bound to be at least one roll for you. (We’re excited about running Heal Clip/Kill Clip, for fun if nothing else.)

Oversoul Edict (Pulse Rifle, Arc, Rapid-Fire Frame, 540rpm)

Oversoul Edict has a mix of perks for both PvE and PvP, and thanks to its archetype, you might see it often in the Crucible. You can take it into whatever activity you want, though, especially if you get a roll you enjoy.

The Crota’s End weapons are bound to become common sights in activities this season. Season of the Witch weapons aren’t that great (unless you count the reprised Red War weapons), so players may gravitate toward these new guns for novelty if nothing else. Song of Ir Yût will almost certainly climb in popularity thanks to its perk pool, though you may also see some of the others show up in missions.
