Vault of Glass came as an amazing surprise for the entire Destiny 2 community. It was a free raid that also happened to offer some of the best weapons from Destiny 1.
Yet Vault of Glass did even more than that. It introduced a new Master difficulty (which every new raid and dungeon released since also offers) that rewards the most dedicated players with Adept Timelost weapons. In this guide, we’ll cover all Timelost weapons available today and show you how to farm them.

Best Destiny 2 Timelost weapons: Tier list
This table covers all Adept Timelost weapons currently in the game. It starts with the S Tier weapons and moves down from there. It also covers both PVE and PVP, with the “Excels in” column clearly identifying where each weapon shines:
| Item | Weapons | Type | Archetype | Ammo? | Element? | Requirements | In loot pool? | Rank | Source | Available? | Tier rank | Source ❘ DLC | Final Verdict | Released | Perks | Best of? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vex Mythoclast |  Vex Mythoclast | Fusion Rifle | Exotic | Primary | Solar | Free-to-Play | Yes | S › Best | Vault of Glass Raid |  | Best ❘ S Excels in: | Vault of Glass Raid Free-to-Play | Slot: Exotic Perk: "This weapon fires a single bolt with each trigger pull. Defeating targets builds stacks of Overcharge. Swap firing modes when fully Overcharged to charge up and fire more powerful linear fusion shots." ► Vex Mythoclast is now rightfully where it should be: among the best fusions in the game. Buffs against minors, bosses, and Champions have allowed Vex to break into the end game, even if it lacks an intrinsic anti-Champion perk. | Season 14 | Slot: Exotic Perk: "This weapon fires a single bolt with each trigger pull. Defeating targets builds stacks of Overcharge. Swap firing modes when fully Overcharged to charge up and fire more powerful linear fusion shots." | Top-tier |
| Fatebringer | Fatebringer | Hand Cannon | Adaptive | Primary | Kinetic | Free-to-Play | Yes | S › Best | Vault of Glass Raid | | Best ❘ S Excels in: | Vault of Glass Raid Free-to-Play | Slot: PvE God Roll: Explosive Payload + Firefly PvP God Roll: Explosive Payload + Eye of the Storm ► One of the most iconic legendary weapons in the game, Fatebringer comes with insane stats and great perks. While it does have some competition, namely Eyasluna, this almost-perfect Hand Cannon holds its ground as an all-time community favorite. | Season 14 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Explosive Payload + Firefly PvP God Roll: Explosive Payload + Eye of the Storm | Top-tier |
| Corrective Measure | Corrective Measure | Machine Gun | Adaptive | Heavy | Void | Free-to-Play | Yes | S › Best | Vault of Glass Raid | | Best ❘ S Excels in: | Vault of Glass Raid Free-to-Play | Slot: PvE God Roll: Rewind Rounds (also good: Subsistence) + One for All (also good: Firefly) ► Corrective Measure is still one of the best Machine guns in the entire game. With great perks, a good archetype, and a nice 'feel' to it, Corrective Measure is a weapon you can't go wrong with. | Season 14 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Rewind Rounds (also good: Subsistence) + One for All (also good: Firefly) | Top-tier |
| Praedyth's Revenge | Praedyth's Revenge | Sniper Rifle | Rapid-Fire | Special | Kinetic | Free-to-Play | Yes | A › Strong | Vault of Glass Raid | | Strong ❘ A Excels in: | Vault of Glass Raid Free-to-Play | Slot: PvE God Roll: Rewind Rounds + Firefly (also good: High-Impact Reserves) ► Despite most Vault of Glass weapons needing a major refresh to return to the meta, Praedyth's Revenge succeeds in keeping up with the majority of its PvE competition. While better sniper rifles have been released since, Praedyth's remains one of the stronger 140 RPM snipers available. | Season 14 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Rewind Rounds + Firefly (also good: High-Impact Reserves) | Top-tier |
| Hezen Vengeance | Hezen Vengeance | Rocket Launcher | Aggressive | Heavy | Solar | Free-to-Play | Yes | B › Average | Vault of Glass Raid | | Average ❘ B Excels in: | Vault of Glass Raid Free-to-Play | Slot: PvE God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Overflow) + Lasting Impression PvP God Roll: Impulse Amplifier (Tracking Module) + Cluster Bomb ► While Hezen Vengeance was previously overlooked, it is now severely outclassed by more recent weapons like Apex Predator and Cold Comfort. It still ranks as about average, but there are little to no cases to run Hezen over something else. | Season 14 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Auto-Loading Holster (also good: Overflow) + Lasting Impression PvP God Roll: Impulse Amplifier (Tracking Module) + Cluster Bomb | |
| Vision of Confluence | Vision of Confluence | Scout Rifle | Precision | Primary | Solar | Free-to-Play | Yes | B › Average | Vault of Glass Raid | | Average ❘ B Excels in: | Vault of Glass Raid Free-to-Play | Slot: PvE God Roll: Rewind Rounds + Firefly (also good: Frenzy) PvP God Roll: Killing Wind + Kill Clip ► Vision of Confluence is a mediocre pick. While it has some good perks like Frenzy, it can't compete with some of the stronger options on this list, giving it a middle-of-the-pack ranking. | Season 14 | Slot: PvE God Roll: Rewind Rounds + Firefly (also good: Frenzy) PvP God Roll: Killing Wind + Kill Clip | |
| Found Verdict |  Found Verdict | Shotgun | Aggressive | Special | Arc | Free-to-Play | Yes | C › Weak | Vault of Glass Raid | | Weak ❘ C | Vault of Glass Raid Free-to-Play | Slot: PvP God Roll: Surplus (also good: Slideshot) + Opening Shot ► With a weak archetype, poor stats, and an uninspiring perk selection, this is a weapon you can safely ignore... | Season 14 | Slot: PvP God Roll: Surplus (also good: Slideshot) + Opening Shot |
Arc | Ammo: These are the different Tier levels used for this ranking:
- S Tier – Best: Highest ranking weapon types.
- A Tier – Strong: Very strong weapon types, but not on the same level as S Tier Choices.
- B Tier – Average: Decent choices that can be lethal in the hands of a skilled player.
- C Tier – Weak: The middle of the pack, somewhat mediocre.
- D Tier – Worst: Lagging behind the competition, these don’t have much to offer.
Destiny 2 Timelost weapons farm: How to get them
Before we go any further…
What are Timelost weapons?
Timelost weapons are exactly the same as Adept weapons. The kind you can find from farming Grandmaster Nightfalls or going flawless in Trials of Osiris.
What are the benefits of Timelost or Adept weapons? They simply offer slightly better stats (via an improved Masterwork) and can use Adept mods, which are superior to normal mods. Long story short, the term “Timelost” seems unnecessary to me as Bungie could have simply called them Adept…
How to farm Timelost weapons: Weekly Challenges
Timelost weapons are locked behind completing specific weekly challenges that need to be completed in the Master difficulty of the raid. Needless to say, these aren’t easy to farm. But if you put in the effort and find a committed fireteam, Master Vault of Glass challenges are possible.
These are the several challenges available:
- Confluxes challenge: Wait For It…: Sacrificial Wyverns cannot die before beginning to sacrifice at the confluences.
- Oracles challenge: The Only Oracle For You: Players may not destroy the same oracle twice.
- Templar challenge: Out Of Its Way:Defeat Templar without lettim him teleport.
- Gatekeepers challenge: Strangers In Time:The Wyvern and Minotaurs that spawn simultaneously must die within 5 seconds of each other.
- Atheon challenge: Ensemble’s Refrain:Each player may only destroy one Oracle per wave.
Ranking criteria
For the record, as much as we tried to keep the above tier list as objective as possible, it’s still based on our personal experience playing the PC version of the game.
If you’re wondering what criteria was used to build this Tier list, these are the main factors I took into account:
- Lethality: The higher the effective DPS and usability, the higher the ranking.
- Consistency: Some weapons may not have the highest DPS numbers, but they are so consistent, they more than make up for their lower DPS numbers.
- Ease of use: Similar to the point above, some weapons are very effective because they are easy to use and don’t require too much skill or setup. This is also rewarded with higher rankings.
- PVE/PVP Performance: High lethality in either PVE or PVP is equally valuable. However, a weapon that is good at both PVE and PVP should rank higher than one that is slightly better on only PVE or PVP.
- Fun factor: Not the most important factor, but it also helps if the weapon is damn fun to shoot with!
If you strongly disagree with some of the rankings here, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
By the way, what is your personal favorite Nightfall weapon?

I've been covering gaming since 2012, and some of my work has been featured by large brands, including MSN.com, Forbes, Rock Paper Shotgun, and more. I've been obsessed with Destiny 2 (and now Diablo 4) for years now, and I hope to provide new and returning players with the guides and resources I wish I had when I first started.
