The Destiny 2 King’s Fall loot table is one of the most rewarding in the game. King’s Fall is the reprised Destiny 1 raid set aboard Oryx’s Dreadnaught, and it remains one of the most mechanically demanding and loot-dense raids in the current 2026 rotation. With the Monument of Triumph update, all King’s Fall weapons and armor received Tier upgrades, new perk columns, and the Armor 3.0 set bonus system. Whether you are farming for a specific weapon or building a full Tier 5 armor set, this guide covers every drop per encounter, the best god rolls to chase, and what the armor bonuses actually do. Destiny 2 is free to play on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and the Bungie website.
Is King’s Fall Farmable in 2026?
Yes. Whenever King’s Fall is one of the featured raids of the week, it can be farmed for unlimited loot. Here is what each difficulty and chest type drops:
- Standard (Featured week): Deepsight weapons and Tier 5 armor from encounters and challenges — farmable with no weekly lockout.
- Master (Featured or non-featured): Same as Standard plus Harrowed (Adept) weapons from challenges.
- Director Challenge: Deepsight weapon or Tier 5 armor — weekly lockout per character.
- Hidden Chests: Tier 5 armor — weekly lockout per character.
- Non-featured Standard: Tier 3 loot only. Run Master for Tier 5 outside of featured weeks.
The featured rotation resets every Tuesday. Check the Director before loading in to confirm if King’s Fall is featured. For a full overview of how the rotation works across all 10 active raids, see the Destiny 2 all raid loot tables guide.
King’s Fall Loot Table by Encounter
King’s Fall has five main encounters. Each one drops a specific set of weapons. If you need a particular weapon, you only need to run that encounter — not the whole raid. Below is every weapon drop per encounter.
Encounter 1 — The Totems: What Drops Here?
- Doom of Chelchis — Void Scout Rifle
- King’s Fall armor pieces (Helmet, Arms)
Encounter 2 — The Warpriest: What Drops Here?
- Zaouli’s Bane — Solar Hand Cannon
- King’s Fall armor pieces (Chest, Legs)
Encounter 3 — Golgoroth: What Drops Here?
- Midha’s Reckoning — Arc Fusion Rifle
- King’s Fall armor pieces (Helmet, Arms, Chest)
Encounter 4 — Daughters of Oryx: What Drops Here?
- Smite of Merain — Kinetic Pulse Rifle
- Defiance of Yasmin — Kinetic Sniper Rifle
- King’s Fall armor pieces (Legs, Class Item)
Encounter 5 — Oryx, the Taken King: What Drops Here?
- Oversoul Edict — Arc Auto Rifle
- Qullim’s Terminus — Stasis Machine Gun
- Touch of Malice — Exotic Kinetic Scout Rifle (random drop)
- King’s Fall armor pieces (any slot)
For the final encounter against Oryx, the last chest can drop one piece of gear from any of the previous encounters. It also has a chance to drop the Exotic Scout Rifle, Touch of Malice.
King’s Fall Secret Chests — Where Are They?
King’s Fall has two hidden chests. The first hidden chest is located after the first encounter, in the Tomb Ship jumping puzzle. The second is found after the Golgoroth encounter, in the maze section. These chests drop raid mods and gear you have already previously earned from the raid. They do not give you new weapons you have not seen drop yet — unlock the loot pool from encounters first, then use the chests as weekly bonus drops on top.
Both hidden chests drop Tier 5 armor during featured weeks with a weekly lockout per character. That means you can run both on three characters for up to six free Tier 5 armor drops per week from King’s Fall alone. For a similar breakdown of Last Wish solo chest farming, check out all Tier 5 solo loot chests in The Last Wish.
King’s Fall Exotic: Touch of Malice
Touch of Malice is a Kinetic Exotic Scout Rifle that drops from the Oryx encounter. It is a random drop — you do not need to follow a quest to get it. The drop rate is low, so expect to run the Oryx encounter multiple times.
Its Exotic perk works like this: the final round in the magazine deals bonus damage by drawing from your own health, and then it regenerates itself automatically. Rapidly defeating three targets restores your health. Powerful combatants and Guardians count as more than one defeated target toward that restoration trigger.
The Catalyst for Touch of Malice is unlocked through a hidden puzzle inside the raid that requires activating specific plates and relics across multiple encounters before defeating Oryx. Once obtained, the Catalyst adds Rapid Hit, which builds reload speed and stability on precision hits.
King’s Fall Weapons God Rolls
What Is the Best God Roll for Doom of Chelchis?
Doom of Chelchis is a Void Scout Rifle from the Totems encounter. It is one of the strongest scout rifles for PvE right now thanks to its Void damage synergy with Nightstalker and Void builds.
- PvE God Roll: Arrowhead Brake, Flared Magwell, Explosive Payload, Frenzy
- PvP God Roll: Extended Barrel, Accurized Rounds, Explosive Payload, Eye of the Storm
Explosive Payload is the core of both rolls. It removes damage falloff and adds a small damage bump to every shot, which makes Doom of Chelchis punch above its weight in endgame PvE. Frenzy adds a large damage and handling buff after you have been in combat for a few seconds, which keeps the gun feeling strong throughout an encounter. This scout pairs well with any Hunter build focused on aggressive ability use.
What Is the Best God Roll for Zaouli’s Bane?
Zaouli’s Bane is a Solar Hand Cannon from the Warpriest encounter. It is widely considered the best weapon to farm from this raid thanks to its Incandescent perk, which gives it add-clear power close to Sunshot without using up your Exotic slot.
- PvE God Roll: Smallbore, Accurized Rounds, Explosive Payload, Incandescent
- PvP God Roll: Hammer Forged Rifling, Accurized Rounds, Explosive Payload, Eye of the Storm
Incandescent causes enemies to spread Scorch to nearby targets when killed, which eventually triggers Ignitions. Combined with Explosive Payload, every kill becomes a chain reaction. This roll is especially strong on Solar builds and makes Zaouli’s Bane one of the best Legendary add-clear primaries in the game right now.
What Is the Best God Roll for Smite of Merain?
Smite of Merain is a Kinetic Pulse Rifle from the Daughters of Oryx encounter. It is flexible and has several strong rolls depending on your playstyle.
- PvE God Roll (General): Arrowhead Brake, Tactical Mag, Focused Fury, One For All
- PvE God Roll (Endgame / Champions): Arrowhead Brake, Tactical Mag, Focused Fury, Vorpal Weapon
- PvP God Roll: Arrowhead Brake, Tactical Mag, Demolitionist, Eye of the Storm
The best overall roll is arguably Stats for All and One for All since the former boosts your range, stability, reload speed, and handling and the latter gives you a big 30% damage buff whenever you rapidly hit three separate targets. For Champion-heavy content like Grandmaster Nightfalls, swap One for All out for Vorpal Weapon to get consistent crit damage regardless of enemy health.
What Is the Best God Roll for Defiance of Yasmin?
Defiance of Yasmin is a Kinetic Sniper Rifle from the Daughters of Oryx encounter. It is the best sniper from this raid for PvE damage phases.
- PvE God Roll: Extended Barrel, Extended Mag, Firefly, Firing Line
- PvP God Roll: Extended Barrel, Accurized Rounds, Snapshot Sights, Opening Shot
Firing Line gives a 25% damage boost when you are near two or more allies, making it a natural fit for fireteam damage phases in raids and dungeons. Firefly procs an explosion on precision kills for add-clear between damage windows. This sniper is a strong pick for any raid DPS rotation. If you want more raid-focused linear fusion options alongside this, check out the Destiny 2 Cataclysmic god roll.
What Is the Best God Roll for Midha’s Reckoning?
Midha’s Reckoning is an Arc Fusion Rifle from the Golgoroth encounter. It is a strong pick for Arc builds and performs well in content where burst damage matters.
- PvE God Roll: Chambered Compensator, Liquid Coils, Backup Plan, Reservoir Burst
- PvP God Roll: Corkscrew Rifling, Accelerated Coils, Backup Plan, Reservoir Burst
Reservoir Burst fires a supercharged shot when the magazine is full, making the first shot significantly stronger than the rest. Backup Plan lets you swap to this weapon and immediately reduce charge time, which makes it great for quick burst windows during DPS phases or tight PvP situations.
What Is the Best God Roll for Qullim’s Terminus?
Qullim’s Terminus is a Stasis Machine Gun from the Oryx encounter. Machine guns are not always meta, but this one has a niche as a strong sustained-damage option when running near allies.
- PvE God Roll (Fireteam): Arrowhead Brake, Tactical Mag, Ensemble, Firing Line
- PvE God Roll (Solo / GM): Full Bore, Tactical Mag, Stats for All, Killing Tally
- PvP God Roll: Arrowhead Brake, Tactical Mag, Dynamic Sway Reduction, Eye of the Storm
Killing Tally is a unique perk that buffs damage by 10% each time you kill an enemy up to a maximum of 30%, then remains active until you stow the weapon or reload it. Paired with Ensemble or Heating Up, this perk lets you single-handedly clear out entire armies of trash mobs without much effort.
What Is the Best God Roll for Oversoul Edict?
Oversoul Edict is an Arc Auto Rifle that drops from the Oryx encounter. It is a dependable primary for Arc builds and performs consistently in PvE add-clear scenarios.
- PvE God Roll: Arrowhead Brake, Ricochet Rounds, Subsistence, Arc Conductor (or Voltshot if available)
- PvP God Roll: Hammer Forged Rifling, Accurized Rounds, Killing Wind, Eye of the Storm
Subsistence partially refills the magazine from reserves on kills, which keeps the auto rifle firing longer without needing a full reload. This is especially useful in Arc builds that benefit from sustained weapon output.
King’s Fall Armor Sets & Set Bonuses
King’s Fall drops a unique armor set for each class. In Destiny 1 the set was called Deathsinger’s Mail for Warlocks, Kellbreaker for Hunters, and Willbreaker for Titans. In Destiny 2 the sets have updated names to match the remaster aesthetic, but they carry the same Dreadnaught-inspired visual design.
With Monument of Triumph’s Armor 3.0 system, the King’s Fall armor now has two set bonuses. Wearing 2 pieces of the King’s Fall armor grants Iron Sharpens Iron, where final blows on Guardians and powerful combatants generate ammo progress. The 4-piece grants Ascendant Escape, where final blows on powerful combatants make you invisible when your shields break.
Here is what each bonus means in practice:
- 2-Piece (Iron Sharpens Iron): Killing powerful enemies or Guardians passively refills your ammo reserves. This is useful in high-density PvE content where you are constantly shooting through groups of elites.
- 4-Piece (Ascendant Escape): After killing a powerful enemy, your next shield break triggers Invisibility. This has strong synergy with Nightstalker and Void Hunter builds where Invisibility feeds ability loops. It also pairs well with the Phantom Surge Hunter build as a survivability trigger in dangerous encounters.
For most content, two 2-piece combinations across different sets give you more flexibility than a full 4-piece King’s Fall set. Run the 4-piece if you are specifically building around shield breaks and Invisibility in endgame Hunter content. For a breakdown of all armor set bonuses added with Monument of Triumph, check the Destiny 2 armor set bonuses Monument of Triumph guide.
King’s Fall Challenges and Cosmetics
Each encounter in King’s Fall has a weekly challenge. Completing the active challenge drops a bonus chest with an additional weapon from that encounter’s pool. On Master difficulty, this is a guaranteed Harrowed version of the weapon. Completing all encounter challenges on Master difficulty is required for the Kingslayer Seal.
The challenges are:
- Totems: Overzealous — Never steal a Brand from a player standing near a Totem.
- Warpriest: Brand Buster — No single player can hold the Brand twice until every other player has held it once.
- Golgoroth: Taking Turns — No single player can taunt Golgoroth twice until every other player has taunted him once.
- Daughters: The Floor Is Lava — No Torn Between Dimensions player is allowed to touch the ground.
- Oryx: Overwhelming Power — Detonate enough bombs to trigger the last stand in the same round.
King’s Fall also has a weekly Deepsight chest tied to the Oryx encounter. Activating the correct rune sequence rewards one guaranteed red-border weapon per account per week. This is the fastest path to crafting god rolls since red-border weapons grant pattern progress toward craftable versions.
Cosmetics from King’s Fall include the Ancient Wisdom shader (from looting all hidden chests), the King No More emblem (from completing the raid), the Ossified Skycarver Exotic ship (from Master completion), and the Ossein Earthcarver Exotic sparrow (from completing all Master encounter challenges).
How to Spend Spoils of Conquest in King’s Fall
After defeating Oryx, you can access the Cache of the King loot kiosk. Use 20 Spoils of Conquest per item to buy weapons or armor you’ve already unlocked. Earn Spoils by running other raids or finishing encounters in King’s Fall. This is the most direct way to target a specific weapon — run any raid to stack Spoils, then spend them at the King’s Fall kiosk on the exact piece you want.
For ways to stack Spoils quickly across multiple raids, the Destiny 2 raids in order guide helps you plan which raids to rotate through each week. If you are interested in dungeon loot as well, the Destiny 2 dungeons in order page covers which dungeons are featured and farmable alongside your King’s Fall runs.
Is King’s Fall Worth Farming in 2026?
Yes. King’s Fall remains one of the best raids to farm in the current Monument of Triumph rotation. Zaouli’s Bane with Incandescent is one of the strongest Legendary primaries in the entire game. Defiance of Yasmin is a top-tier raid sniper for DPS phases. The 4-piece armor bonus is genuinely useful for Void Hunter builds. And Touch of Malice is still a unique exotic with no direct replacement.
The raid is also mechanically rewarding — each encounter has a clear challenge mode, and the Kingslayer seal gives you long-term goals beyond just the loot. Whether you are farming Zaouli’s Bane for a Solar build, chasing a crafted Defiance of Yasmin for raid DPS, or hunting Touch of Malice for collection purposes, King’s Fall gives you a reason to come back every week. If you are also pursuing the Immortal Title alongside your King’s Fall farming, check the Destiny 2 Immortal Title Monument of Triumph guide to see which Triumphs overlap with raid content. You can also browse the Vow of the Disciple loot table as another top raid to pair with your weekly King’s Fall runs.
