Destiny 2 World Loot Pool Weapons

by | May 15, 2023

While most weapons in Destiny 2 can be acquired by completing specific challenges or activities (such as raids, seasonal events, etc.), some weapons only drop randomly while playing the game. This can be seen as a good thing, as they are not locked behind a particularly difficult activity, but on the flip side, they are nearly impossible to farm. These weapons are part of the World loot pool.

This guide covers all the World loot weapons in Destiny 2 and tells you how to best farm them.

PvE God Roll: Overflow + Rampage
PvP God Roll: Dynamic Sway Reduction (also good: Killing Wind) + Eye of the Storm

► Despite being years old and more interesting options having been introduced, False Promises continues to be a strong contender. Its great range packed with various dueling perks makes this a great option in PVP. In PvE, you'll find that you can take out numerous enemies at a distance without reloading.

► Similar to the Caretaker, Negative Space comes with Relentless Strikes and Surrounded, with the Whirlwind Blade alternative meaning that it is one of the better options in terms of perks. It is also Solar, and a part of the Adaptive Archetype, making it a solid option for many players.

► To this day, Truthteller remains a solid pick for any PvE content. While better void GLs have come into the mix, Truthteller's staying power lies within its perks. Whether it is Auto-Loading Holster + Demo or Field Prep + Swashbuckler, this GL will get the job done.

► Ros Arago IV gives Breakneck a run for its money with a fantastic perk pool, including Onslaught and Rewind Rounds. With Onslaught, you'll find the firing rate of this weapon to be exceptional, and coupled with Rewind Rounds, your clip will stay loaded, making this an exceptional crowd-control option in PvE.

These are the different Tier levels used for our list:

  • S Tier – Best: Highest ranking weapons in our Tier List.
  • A Tier – Strong: Very strong weapons, 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.

Destiny 2 World loot weapons farm: Where to find them

The World loot pool mostly features returning weapons from Destiny 2’s Year 1. For the most part, these are somewhat average weapons, and you will rarely find yourself craving a specific World loot weapon. But exceptions do appear. Also, some top-tier weapons that were previously connected to an old seasonal activity may end up as part of the World loot pool. The infamous IKELOS-SMG is the perfect example.

IKELOS_SMG_V1.0.3 Submachine gun

World loot pool weapons, Destiny 2

The problem with weapons from the World loot pool is that they are impossible to target-farm. Unlike a raid or dungeon weapon which can be farmed by completing the relevant encounters over and over, World loot weapons aren’t connected to any activity in particular. Plus, the World loot pool is so big, the chances you get the exact weapon you want are slim.

There are other ways to acquire World loot weapons, but these are just as unreliable. Both Xûr and the Gunsmith both offer weapons from the World loot pool every week. Make sure you visit both of them weekly in case they happen to sell the exact weapon you’re looking for.

I've been covering gaming since 2012, and some of my work has been featured by large brands, including MSN.com, Forbes, Rock Paper Shotgun, and more. I've been obsessed with Destiny 2 (and now Diablo 4) for years now, and I hope to provide new and returning players with the guides and resources I wish I had when I first started.
