Drops from: World drop in Endgame. Drop rate: 0.5-0.7% (community-reported).
At a sub-1% drop rate, expect a long farm. Most community runs report 60-150 boss kills before a confirmed drop. Set up a fast travel rotation and bring a reload-speed-focused build to keep the kill cadence up.

Fire excels against flesh enemies and bosses without armor. Avoid pairing it against cryo-immune raid bosses or Stone-class enemies — corrosive will outperform there.
The natural fit for Dust Elegy is Rafa's Marksman tree or Amon's Bullets and Bourbon. Stack the relevant capstone before farming the deeper raid tiers — the build planner at /builder/ lets you preview the synergy.
A legendary smg like Dust Elegy earns its spot when the rest of your kit covers the gaps it leaves. Pair it with a longer-range crit weapon for ranged engagements. See our walkthroughs for boss-by-boss build recommendations.
