ℹ️ Season 22 Changes (Root of Nightmares)
In Season 22, after the next reprised raid launches, Root of Nightmares will join the featured raid rotator. When it’s featured, it drops Pinnacle gear and legendary loot can be farmed. Adept weapons can only be earned when featured, as that’s when the master difficulty is available.
Raid Challenges
Raid FAQs
- As of Season 22, Crota's End raid is the Pinnacle raid. Which means it drops Pinnacle rewards for each completed encounter every week per character.
- All other raids grant Legendary Gear. All raids continue to drop their exclusive rewards (such as any raid exotics or Timelost weapons).
- Adept weapons for the Vow of the Disciple Master Challenge work on a knockout system and can only be obtained from the weekly Master challenge. After collecting all Adept raid weapons, randomly rolled versions will drop.
With Lightfall and Season 20, Raids now have the following added to modifiers:
- One Overcharged weapon.
- Two Surges.
- No Threat modifier.
