How to get Root of Nightmares Adept weapons
Source: Shacknews
Root of Nightmare Adept weapons drop when completing Master Challenges in the raid. These challenges are available on a weekly basis. This will change when Root of Nightmares enters the raid rotator, meaning when it is available all challenges will be active. Before such a time, you will need to use the above schedule to work out which gun you want, when it will be available, and what challenge will be active. As an example, Rufus’s Fury was available on April 11 by completing the Explicator of Planets Challenge. It was next available on May 23 in the Cataclysm fight.
This is different to how the Vault of Glass Timelost weapons work. These are tied to specific challenges, meaning you must overcome each challenge if you want all the weapons.
Keep this schedule close at hand so you know which Adept Root of Nightmares weapons will be available next. For more schedules and end-game information, check out our Destiny 2 strategy guide.
