How to get the Word of Crota Hand Cannon in Destiny 2
Like many other Legendary weapons from Destiny 2 Crota's End, the Word of Crota is tied to the loot pool of multiple encounters. Since these weapons are craftable, there is a chance for red-border drop from the encounters, as players will need five patterns to fully craft a god roll. Word of Crota Hand Cannon can be obtained specifically from Ir Yut and Crota encounters.
There is also a chance for players to focus a Word of Crota from the final chest in exchange for Spoils of Conquest. However, it needs to be unlocked within Collections first.

However, there are a few powerful perks that can easily turn things around in the favor of Crucible. Thankfully, the craftable nature of the weapon allows players to pick only the perks they want.
