Destiny 2
Destiny 2 has just re-launched its Crota’s End raid, which very well may be the last reprised Destiny 1 raid, as it’s not clear if Wrath of the Machine will definitely come back in the post-Final Shape era. And like Vault of Glass and King’s Fall before it, it had a separate raid race (won, shockingly, again by Clan Elysium) and modified, harder encounters, and reprised, but now Destiny 2-relevant loot.
If you want that loot, you’re going to probably want to know which encounters it drops from so you don’t necessarily have to run the entire thing every time you’re looking for something specific.
So, with contest mode ending in a few hours, here’s the full loot table players have managed to extract from clears so far:
First Encounter – Enter the Abyss:
- Song of Ir Yu – Arc Machine Gun
- Abyss Defiant – Solar Auto Rifle
- Fan of Ir Yut – Strand Scout Rifle
- Chest Armor
- Leg Armor
- Class Item
Second Encounter – The Bridge:
- Swordbreaker – Strand Shotgun
- Oversoul Edict – Arc Pulse Rifle
- Fang of Ir Yut – Strand Scout Rifle
- Chest Armor
- Arms
Destiny 2
Third Encounter – Ir Yut, the Deathsinger:
- Oversoul Edict – Arc Pulse Rifle
- Song of Ir Yu – Arc Machine Gun
- Chest Armor
- Arms
Final Encounter – Crota, Son of Oryx:
- Word of Crota – Void Hand Cannon
- Abyss Defiant – Solar Auto Rifle
- Necrochasm – Exotic Kinetic Auto Rifle
- Helmet
Destiny 2
In terms of “exclusives” there, we have The Bridge as the only place you can get Swordbreaker, now a Strand shotgun. The class item only drops from the first encounter. And Crota himself has two, technically three exclusives. He’s the only place that will give you the helmet, and also Word of Crota, possibly the most iconic legendary from the raid. And of course, clearing Crota is the only place you’ll have a chance at getting Necrochasm, the raid exotic.
Crota’s End now joins Vault of Glass and King’s Fall as free raids in Destiny 2. It remains unclear whether or not Bungie will end up bringing Wrath of the Machine, the final Destiny 1 raid, back into the game after The Final Shape, as Bungie has declined to comment one way or another on this. And of course we still have three raids and two lairs that were vaulted from Destiny 2 itself. Many have speculated Leviathan in particular could return, given that much of it was already rebuilt for Season of the Haunted.
Anyway, happy farming Crota. Once contest mode ends, he won’t quite be the monster he’s been the last 48 hours.
