How to farm Vex's Veil

Drops from: Boss-locked drop in Endgame raid. Drop rate: 8-12% (community-reported).

Plan a 30-60 minute farm session at this drop rate. The most efficient route is to run the boss back-to-back with a fast-clear build; loot pile rolls every 6 kills on average.

Strategy notes

When the kinetic element shines

Kinetic weapons trade element procs for raw damage and unaffected DPS against any enemy type. Reliable in unknown encounters; suboptimal against shielded bosses.

Vault Hunter pairing

The natural fit for Vex's Veil is Amon for crit ramp; Vex for backstab burst. Stack the relevant capstone before farming the deeper raid tiers — the build planner at /builder/ lets you preview the synergy.

Build the rest of your loadout

A legendary shield like Vex's Veil earns its spot when the rest of your kit covers the gaps it leaves. Cover ranged combat with a precision rifle and short-range with a Tediore reload throw. See our walkthroughs for boss-by-boss build recommendations.
