The Menagerie is the newest activity in Destiny 2, but unlike other modes the player can influence what rewards they receive. Tied to the Chalice of Opulence, users can input different runes to determine what weapons and armor pieces appear. Alongside old items, the Menagerie boasts its own collection of unique loot. Keep in mind, you’ll need to unlock Rune Compatability III on your chalice to gain access to everything in the Menagerie.
Below is a complete loot table for the Menagerie weapons and armor only. We will be breaking this down into armor and weapons. There are seven new guns, one new armor set and one updated set in the Menagerie. Additionally, there are three swords that only drop during the Heroic Menagerie. These come from the boss, not the Chalice of Opulence, so you’ll need to grind for them.

If you are planning to grind for the gear above we strongly recommend obtaining a lot of runes first. There is an exploit in the Menagerie that lets you open the boss chest multiple times as long as you possess enough runes. Once the boss chest spawns, open it and then exit the room. Continue down the path until you load into a new zone. Now turn around and run back to the boss room to respawn the closed treasure chest.
Just remember to add new runes to your chalice otherwise the chest won’t open. This is the best way to obtain multiple rolls or pieces of loot in a single run. Developer Bungie is patching this exploit on July 9, so we recommend you farm gear before then. Once the glitch is fixed you will only be able to earn one reward per Menagerie completion.
