Equipment that can drop from any activity in the system.—In-game description
World Gear refers to the pool of Legendary and Exotic weapons and armor in Destiny 2 that are not tied to specific activities or destinations. This general loot pool provides equipment through various gameplay activities rather than targeted farming.
Contents
Overview
The World Gear system encompasses all weapons and armor that drop randomly throughout the game world, distinct from activity-specific loot such as Raid weapons or seasonal gear. This system ensures players can acquire equipment through general gameplay without being required to complete specific challenging content.
Drop Sources
World Gear can be obtained from multiple sources:
- Random drops from defeating enemies
- Legendary Engram decryption
- Prime Engram decryption at Master Rahool
- Activity completion rewards
- Rank-up packages from various vendors
- Lost Sectors on Legend/Master difficulty (with Platinum rating)

Pool Management
The world loot pool operates on a rotation system:
