Are The Destiny 2 Root of Nightmares Weapons Craftable?

All weapons that drop from the four encounters in the Destiny 2 Root of Nightmares raid are craftable. Although the encounters aren’t farmable, you can still get Spoils of Conquest by completing them. Using these Spoils of Conquest, you will be able to purchase a red border weapon from the final chest once every week.

Moreover, this is one of the easier raids in the entire game. Now that the raid race is over, the overall difficulty has been lowered a bit, so you’ll be able to breeze through the activity with ease.
