Destiny 2 Timelost weapon this Week: Rotation and Tier list

by | May 9, 2023 | Weapons

Vault of Glass was an amazing surprise for the Destiny 2 community. It was a free raid that also offered some of the best weapons from Destiny 1.

Yet Vault of Glass did even more than that. It introduced a new Master difficulty (which every new raid and dungeon released since also offers) that rewards the most dedicated players with Adept Timelost weapons.

In this guide, we’ll cover all Timelost weapons available today (including their PVP and PVE god rolls) and show you how to farm them.

Timelost weapons this week: May 9, 2023

The Timelost weapon this week is the Fatebringer (Adept) Hand cannon.

► Hezen Vengeance has always been a weapon worth farming, but recent buffs and meta-shifts have made this rocket an S-Tier pick. From its excellent perk pool to its better-than-average stats and intrinsic damage, Hezen Vengeance is one of the best legendary rockets currently obtainable.

Exotic Perk: "This weapon fires a single bolt with each trigger pull. Defeating targets builds stacks of Overcharge. Swap firing modes when fully Overcharged to charge up and fire more powerful linear fusion shots."

► Vex is arguably one of the strongest fusions in the game. Not only does the catalyst grant a 20% damage boost on a kill, but the Overcharge shots do considerable damage to enemies. And thanks to exotic primaries doing 40% more damage to red bars, Vex can also contend in end-game content.

► Praedyth's Revenge is one of the best PVE snipers in the entire game. It certainly has the base stats to challenge any other sniper, but even better, it offers excellent PVE-oriented perks that can't be found in any other sniper. Namely, Rewind Rounds and Firefly.

Top-tier

These are the different Tier levels used for this ranking:

  • S Tier – Best: Highest ranking weapon types.
  • A Tier – Strong: Very strong weapon types, but not on the same level as S Tier Choices.
  • B Tier – Average: Decent choices that can be lethal in the hands of a skilled player.
  • C Tier – Weak: The middle of the pack, somewhat mediocre.
  • D Tier – Worst: Lagging behind the competition, these don’t have much to offer.

What are Timelost weapons?

Timelost weapons are exactly the same as Adept weapons. The kind you can find from farming Grandmaster Nightfalls or going flawless in Trials of Osiris.

What are the benefits of Timelost or Adept weapons? They simply offer slightly better stats (via an improved Masterwork) and can use Adept mods, which are superior to normal mods.

Long story short, the term “Timelost” seems unnecessary to me as Bungie could have simply called them Adept…

How to get Timelost weapons: Weekly Challenges

Timelost weapons require you to complete specific weekly challenges within the Master version of the raid. Needless to say, these aren’t easy to farm. But if you put in the effort and find a committed fireteam, Master Vault of Glass challenges are possible.

These are the several challenges available:

  • Confluxes challenge: Wait For It…: Sacrificial Wyverns cannot die before beginning to sacrifice at the confluences.
  • Oracles challenge: The Only Oracle For You: Players may not destroy the same oracle twice.
  • Templar challenge: Out Of Its Way: Defeat Templar without letting him teleport.
  • Gatekeepers challenge: Strangers In Time: The Wyvern and Minotaurs that spawn simultaneously must die within 5 seconds of each other.
  • Atheon challenge: Ensemble’s Refrain: Each player may only destroy one Oracle per wave.

This guide covers all 5 VoG Master challenges, including strategies, tips, and recommended loadouts.

Before you go…

With all the added difficulty that Master mode brings, especially with the challenges, it can be hard to understand why you would even step foot in it. But there are actually tons of different reasons to tackle Master Challenges, including cosmetic and gameplay-focused rewards.

Challenges in Normal mode will reward players with double loot for the encounter the challenge is active on

Challenges in Master mode, regardless of whether you complete the challenges, you will receive masterwork materials, Spiky high-stat armor, and Adept gear and mods.
