How to obtain Nessa's Oblation
Nessa's Oblation is raid-specific equipment that can only drop from certain encounters in the Root of Nightmares raid. The first, second, and final encounters all have a chance to drop this slug shotgun, but the odds are not very high, as each encounter has 6 to 9 potential drops you can get. You can check the full loot table for the raid here.
To increase your chances of getting Nessa's Oblation, you can do two things:
Complete the weekly Deepsighted Chest puzzle, which requires finding and shooting hidden symbols throughout the raid. This will unlock a chest after the final boss, letting you purchase one Deepsighted equipment of your choice for 20 Deepsighted Fragments. You can get these fragments by completing raid encounters or challenges.
Craft Nessa's Oblation using the crafting system introduced in Season 20. To do this, you need to collect five Deepsighted versions of Nessa's Oblation, which are random drops from the raid encounters. Once you have five of them, you can craft a normal version of Nessa's Oblation with any perks you want, as long as you have unlocked them by getting them on other equipment.
