Destiny 2 King’s Fall loot table: Raid weapons, armor & Challenges

King’s Fall is a classic raid from the original game that returned in Destiny 2 during The Witch Queen, offering a great loot table that features some of the looter shooter’s best weapons and armor.

Originally released in The Taken King, King’s Fall was the third-ever raid in Destiny. Back then, it was one of the hardest challenges Guardians had ever encountered, pushing even the best loadouts to their limit. A decade on, players have long since figured out its encounters, but there’s still plenty of reasons to complete them.

Most notably, it offers multiple meta weapons that can’t be gotten elsewhere. Here’s everything you need to know about the King’s Fall loot table to help you make the most of this reprised raid.

Exotic Weapon – Touch of Malice

The Touch of Malice exotic in Destiny 2.
  • Archetype: Kinetic Scout Rifle
  • Exotic Perks: Touch of Malice, Charged with Blight
  • Catalyst: Rapid Hit

Touch of Malice is received as a random drop for defeating Oryx and successfully clearing King’s Fall. It can be received on both Normal and Master difficulty and has a base drop rate of 1 in 20 (5%), which can be improved by completing raid challenges.

Its Exotic Perks allow it to deal bonus damage by drawing from the wielder’s life force, with subsequent Rapid Kills then healing you to offset this damage. Landing precision shots also charges up a devastating ball of Darkness, which can be released to damage and Blind nearby combatants.

As for its catalyst, Rapid Hit makes precision hits increase stability and reload speed. This has natural synergy with Charged With Blight, as both require precision damage. Getting this catalyst requires you to complete a series of puzzles inside of the King’s Fall raid.

All legendary weapons and perks

There are six legendary weapons that can be farmed in King’s Fall, all of which are craftable: Defiance of Yasmin, Doom of Chelchis, Midha’s Reckoning, Qullim’s Terminus, Smite of Merain, and Zaouli’s Bane.

Here’s a breakdown of each of these weapons, as well as what perks they have to offer:

Is King’s Fall’s loot farmable?

Ordinarily, this raid will only drop one item per character each week, so you can’t keep farming it until you get the roll you want. However, if King’s Fall is the featured raid, this limit is removed, making the grind for god rolls and craftable weapons much faster.

Be sure to check out the raid rotation schedule for more information on when King’s Fall will next be featured to plan ahead.
