History of Briar's Contempt (Adept)

Overview

Briar's Contempt is a Legendary Solar Linear Fusion Rifle named for the Acolyte of Nezarec Briar. The Loadout recommends Reconstruction with Focused Fury for PvE and High-Impact Reserves with Keep Away for PvP; other guides favor Rewind Rounds.

This is the Adept variant of Briar's Contempt, a harder-difficulty version of the weapon. Per the video guide on enhancing Adept weapons, it appears in the raid's Adept pool; check in-game for its exact drop conditions.

Acquisition

Drops from the Root of Nightmares raid (added with Lightfall). It drops from the first encounter (Cataclysm) and from the final boss's any-weapon pool. Per Gamingcy, every legendary weapon from the raid is craftable once its Deepsight pattern is unlocked (via the weekly puzzle or by spending Spoils of Conquest).
