Destiny 2’s Root of Nightmares raid has players go up against the source of the nightmares in Neomuna: the dreadful Nezarec himself. This Disciple of the Witness has returned, and now, it’s time for the Guardian to take the fight to him.
The Root of Nightmares raid brings its own unique loot, with new armor sets for each class and weapon models seemingly inspired by Vow of the Disciple’s Corrective Obligation. The armor sets incorporate some of the fantastical, floral-like themes present throughout the raid, with some armor pieces bringing elements that look like chitin as a mesh. The Warlock chest piece also gives them two extra (presumably immobile) arms, which makes for a unique style (even if potentially out of place).
The new raid brings a total of six new Legendary weapons and an armor set for each class. Players will see some Strand-aligned weapons, which are bound to roll new and unique combinations. The armors also bring in some inspiration from Rhulk, the Witness, and Nezarec himself, embodying some of the Acolytes of Nezarec that appear throughout the raid’s lore (even if they do look reminiscent of Warframe).
In addition to the Legendary and armor drops, players who are lucky enough may also score a copy of the Conditional Finality shotgun, which has a small chance of dropping from Nezarec himself. This lethal Exotic shotgun mixes Stasis and Solar, allowing players to tap into verbs from two classes.
Here are all the weapons and armor you can get from the Root of Nightmares raid in Destiny 2, divided by encounter.
