About Destiny 2 Acasia’s Dejection

Acasia’s Dejection is the newly added Energy Trace Rifle that deals Solar damage, and you can only get this via the Root of Nightmares Raid. This Legendary Solar Trace Rifle uses Special Ammo, and as an Energy weapon, it will go to your Energy slot. The rifle has the weapon perk Adaptive Frame, and it has the potential to become the best Legendary Trace Rifle due to its amazing perks.

Acasia’s Dejection Requirements

Acasia’s Dejection can be obtained in the Root of Nightmares Raid, which can only be accessed if you have the Destiny 2 Lightfall Standard Edition or Destiny 2 Lightfall + Annual Pass Edition. If you own either of the two, you can find the Root of Nightmares Raid on the Neomona map.

Be ready; the recommended power level is 1,770 for the Legendary difficulty and 1,820 for the Master difficulty. You can easily reach these power levels by completing the Lightfall Campaign with a Legendary Difficulty. In addition, completing the Root of Nightmares Raid on Master Difficulty has a chance of you getting an Adept version of the weapon, so keep that in mind.

How to Get Destiny 2 Acasia’s Dejection

As we’ve mentioned, the weapon can be obtained in the Root of Nightmares Raid. It has the chance of dropping on the second encounter, third encounter, and final encounter. In addition, it can also be crafted as long as you have five Deepsight Resonance. Each drop of the weapon might come with a Deepsight Resonance that you can extract, which can then unlock the pattern to craft Trace Rifle.

Acasia’s Dejection Perks

Once you get the weapon, it will have perks. However, these are usually random, which means you cannot choose what weapon perks you will have. This is why you must grind the Root of Nightmares Raid repeatedly to get the best possible perk combinations for the weapon’s best possible version. One of the best perks you can get on the weapon is Rewind Rounds. We will further explain the perks that you should get down below.

Acasia’s Dejection Drop Rate

We previously mentioned that you can get Acasia’s Dejection on the second and third Raid of Nightmares Raid encounters. These are called the Scission and Macrocosm encounters. Both of these encounters drop seven different items, so you must be lucky to get the weapon.

You can get four different weapons in the Scission and Macrocosm encounters, along with armor drops, including gauntlets, chest pieces, and boots. But do not worry, once a week, looting the chest at the end of the Raid can let you choose a Deepsighted weapon if you have 20 Spoils of Conquest.

Acasia’s Dejection GOD Roll

Now we return to the perks that your Acasia’s Dejection should have. You must achieve an Acasia’s Dejection GOD roll, which means your weapon must have the best possible perks it should have.

If you want to use Acasia’s Dejection in PvP, here is the GOD roll for it.

Barrel: Fluted Barrel

Perk 2: High-Impact Reserves

A Fluted Barrel will increase the rifle’s stability and handling by 5. Enhanced Battery, on the other hand, increases your magazine size so you have more time to shoot enemies. Perpetual Motion buffs your stability, handling, and reload speed while you move for 2 seconds, making it one of the best perks for PvP. Lastly, High-Impact Reserves gives a damage buff to the last rounds of your magazine.

The Barrel and Battery are similar for the PvP GOD roll, while the third and fourth columns are where you will see the difference. Rewind Rounds will refill your empty magazine with 60% of the number of hits you did with the weapon.

You can also use Reconstruction, where your weapon slowly reloads over time. For the fourth column, Incandescent is the best Perk, especially for Solar weapons. Incandescent will spread Scorch near the target you defeated.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ 1: How many times has Acasia’s Dejection been farmed?
Answer: Farming for Acasia’s Dejection can be hard due to the limit on Raid loot. You can only get one Raid loot per encounter per week. In addition, you can also get Raid loot from doing challenges and hidden chests. However, this can only be obtained once per week, and the hidden chest only drops loot you already have from the Raid.

FAQ 2: How hard is it to get Acasia’s Dejection?
Answer: It is tough to get Acasia’s Dejection due to the Raid loot limit. Once you obtain loot from an encounter, your character will be locked out of getting loot from that encounter. This means if you encounter it again, you will not get any loot except for Spoils of Conquest. Spoils of Conquest can be used to purchase Raid loot after the final encounter is defeated. But you need 20 Spoils of Conquest to get Acasia’s Dejection.

FAQ 3: How do you increase Acasia’s Dejection drop rate?
Answer: You cannot increase the drop rate of Acasia’s Dejection, but you can get it by having 20 Spoils of Conquest and looting the chest after defeating the final boss in a Raid. In addition, if the Root of Nightmares is the weekly pinnacle raid, you can farm the weapon infinitely.
