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.

PvP God Roll: Tap the Trigger + Kill Clip (also good: Rampage)

► Gnawing Hunger has had an incredible run since it was first introduced, and remains one of the most popular auto rifles for good reason. Incredible perks with impressive stability at 600 RPM, this is one of the best weapons in the game.

PvP God Roll: Moving Target (also good: Tunnel Vision) + Tap the Trigger (also good: Kill Clip)

► Chroma Rush has it all. Good base stats, good perks, and is part of a decent archetype. In PvE, it has a menagerie of perks to pick from, including Rampage, Adrenaline Junkie, and Kill Clip. In PvP, it can either be a consistent laser beam, or a lethal beast with different rolls.

► 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.

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.

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.
