Destiny 2 Wellspring weapons this Week: Rotation & Tier list

On top of including an excellent campaign, The Witch Queen expansion also features a new 6-man activity called Wellspring.

And while the activity itself offers good enemy density, daily rotating bosses, and more, most Guardians run it to farm one of the four Wellspring-specific weapons. We’ll see if any of these ever reach the top of the meta, but as all of them are craftable, they remain highly appealing. In this guide, we cover all Wellspring weapons and their daily rotation.

Best Wellspring weapons: Tier list ranking

This table ranks the 4 Wellspring weapons available today. It starts with the top Tier weapons and moves down from there. It also covers both PvE and PvP, with the “Excels in” column clearly identifying where each weapon shines:

Name	Weapons	Type	Archetype	Ammo	Element	Requirements	In loot pool?	Rank	Source	Available?	Tier rank	Source ❘ DLC	Final Verdict	Released	Perks
Fel Taradiddle	Fel Taradiddle	Combat Bow	Lightweight	Primary	Kinetic	Free-to-Play	Yes	A › Strong	Wellspring		Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvE	Wellspring Free-to-Play	Slot: Kinetic | Ammo: Primary | Archetype: Lightweight PvE God Roll: Archer's Tempo + Successful Warm-Up (also good: Explosive Head) ► Able to roll with all the best PvE perks possible, Fel Taradiddle is potentially the best Lightweight bow in the entire game. Just try it with Archer's Tempo and Successful Warm-Up and you won't believe its speed.	Season 16	Slot: Kinetic | Ammo: Primary | Archetype: Lightweight PvE God Roll: Archer's Tempo + Successful Warm-Up (also good: Explosive Head)
Father's Sins	Father's Sins	Sniper Rifle	Rapid-Fire	Special	Void	The Witch Queen	Yes	A › Strong	Wellspring		Strong ❘ A Excels in: PvP	Wellspring The Witch Queen	Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Rapid-Fire PvP God Roll: Under Pressure + Snapshot Sights ► Now that Snipers with low zoom levels got a buff, Snipers such as Father's Sins are back on the table. Able to roll with the indispensable Snapshot Sights, Father's Sin is the most accessible and competent sniper for PVP right now.	Season 16	Slot: Void | Ammo: Special | Archetype: Rapid-Fire PvP God Roll: Under Pressure + Snapshot Sights
Come to Pass	Come to Pass	Auto Rifle	High-Impact	Primary	Arc	The Witch Queen	Yes	C › Weak	Wellspring		Weak ❘ C	Wellspring The Witch Queen	Slot: Arc | Ammo: Primary | Archetype: High-Impact PvE God Roll: Triple Tap + Adaptive Munitions ► Come to Pass looks good on paper and can offer a roll that should do great in endgame content. It's just too bad it's part of a lacking archetype that desperately needs some attention.	Season 16	Slot: Arc | Ammo: Primary | Archetype: High-Impact PvE God Roll: Triple Tap + Adaptive Munitions
Tarnation	Tarnation	Grenade Launcher	Rapid-Fire	Heavy	Arc	The Witch Queen	Yes	C › Weak	Wellspring		Weak ❘ C	Wellspring The Witch Queen	Slot: Arc | Ammo: Heavy | Archetype: Rapid-Fire PvE God Roll: Clown Cartridge + One For All ► Tarnation suffers from the poor Rapid-Fire archetype and a poor perk pool. However, the saving grace of Tarnation is its ability to be crafted, completely nullifying the RNG aspect. It can also come with Enhanced Perks, which place it above its Rapid-Fire competition.	Season 16	Slot: Arc | Ammo: Heavy | Archetype: Rapid-Fire PvE God Roll: Clown Cartridge + One For All

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.

How to farm Wellspring weapons

Farming Wellspring weapons is as straightforward as it gets: they only drop from The Wellspring activity in the Throne World destination.

Gaining access to the Wellspring activity

To get access to the 6-man Wellspring activity, you’ll need to own The Witch Queen expansion and have completed the campaign. Once you’ve completed the campaign, you’ll need to visit Fynch in the Throne World destination in order to permanently unlock the Wellspring activity.

Wellspring weapons drop rates

The first few weeks of the Witch Queen expansion were difficult for players looking to farm Wellspring weapons. Wellspring weapons with Deepsight resonance were particularly hard to get.

Probably a bug was preventing these weapons from dropping, but luckily Bungie recognize the issue and has already released a patch to improve the situation:

In a patch targeting next week, we will be increasing the drop chances for weapons in Wellspring, and adding bad luck protection for both getting a standard drop and getting a Deepsight resonate version of a weapon. [4/13]
