The Deep Stone Crypt Raid in Destiny 2 has been around for a while now. Originally released just a few days after Beyond Light as part of the 2020 expansion, DSC brought some exciting thrills and new mechanics to challenge players, even if the final boss was the return of Taniks, the House of Wolves Destiny 1 expansion's own final boss.
This Raid is full of super unique gear from the armor to the weapons and even the Exotic Rocket Launcher, Eyes of Tomorrow, that plagued players in PVP for years before getting a healthy nerf a while back. While the armor is extremely cool, the best reason to run the Deep Stone Crypt Raid is for the red-border weapons that can drop as many times as you want to run it when it becomes the Featured Raid. Obtaining all of the required frames will allow you to craft your own god rolls of these legendary monster-slaying implements. Thus, we're here to break down which encounters drop what gear items so you can better focus your grinding when Deep Stone Crypt comes around.

Destiny 2 Deep Stone Crypt Raid Overview
Like Garden of Salvation or Last Wish, Deep Stone Crypt does have an Exotic weapon that has a chance to drop and as of Season 21, completing the Raid's associated Triumphs will increase your chances of finding it at the end of a run. Eyes of Tomorrow is an Exotic Rocket Launcher that fires a volley of target-tracking missiles that is sure to put an end to a Gambit Invasion or a Champion in a Grand Master Nightfall.
Nearly all of the weapons available in Deep Stone Crypt are worth chasing, so feel free to bookmark this page and run each encounter as many times as you need to get those beautiful red-border drops to better equip yourself for the battles ahead.

Crypt Security Encounter Loot
Crypt Security sees the players making their way into the Deep Stone Crypt's entrance and breaking down its meager firewalls. This encounter can drop the Trustee Solar Scout Rifle, so I recommend running this one a few times. As the name suggests, this is a go-to Scout Rifle.
Weapons | Armor |
Trustee (Solar Scout Rifle) | Legacy's Oath Gauntlet Armor |
- | Legacy's Oath Leg Armor |
- | Legacy's Oath Class Item |
The Fallen Exo, Atraks-1 Encounter Loot
Atraks-1 was the encounter that stopped most Day One Raid teams from getting their coveted completions, and it's easy to understand why. Even with as much of a pain as it is, both the Succession Sniper Rifle and the Heritage Shotgun make running this encounter a frustrating amount of times well worth it in the end.
Weapons | Armor |
Succession (Kinetic Sniper Rifle) | Legacy's Oath Gauntlet Armor |
Heritage (Kinetic Shotgun) | Legacy's Oath Leg Armor |
- | Legacy's Oath Class Item |
Surviving the Descent Encounter Loot
After making the incredible journey to Space for the first time and jumping your way through the Orbital Space Walk, you'll have to fight for your lives in this chaotic encounter hosted by none other than Taniks himself. While there are certainly better options out there, the Posterity Hand Cannon is a fine addition to any Raider's collection.
Weapons | Armor |
Posterity (Arc Hand Cannon) | Legacy's Oath Gauntlet Armor |
- | Legacy's Oath Chest Armor |
- | Legacy's Oath Class Item |
Taniks, The Abomination Encounter Loot
The final encounter of DSC is second only to the third encounter you just wrapped up before making your way here. This fight is fun and frenetic but challenging in a way that will still leave your Flawless run in shambles if you don't communicate clearly. The Exotic Eyes of Tomorrow can drop here as well as the Commemoration, a beautiful Void Machine Gun anyone should have on hand.
Weapons | Armor |
Bequest (Arc Sword) | Legacy's Oath Helmet Armor |
Commemoration (Void Heavy Machine Gun) | Legacy's Oath Chest Armor |
Eyes of Tomorrow (Solar Exotic Rocket Launcher) | Legacy's Oath Leg Armor |
Bonus: Deep Stone Crypt Raid Secret Hidden Chests
As is tradition, DSC has a few hidden chests scattered throughout the Raid. The first is in the Blizzard just at the beginning of the Raid near the door to the Crypt itself. The other is tucked away in the Orbital Space Walk section between Encounters Two and Three and is my favorite one, just because it gives you a little bit longer to listen to the Deep Stone Lullaby.
That's it! That's everything you need to know about collecting all of the loot in the Deep Stone Crypt Raid! For more on Destiny 2 and the most recent Dungeon, Ghosts of the Deep, make sure you check out the Destiny 2 Hub!
