How To Choose Your Reward(s) From The Vault of Glass (Weapons can only be chosen by Primary/Special/Heavy)

Ok, so I was curious and figured out a way to pick what I wanted to earn from the raid. What you want to do it fill all your spots in your inventory where stuff you don't want/need would go. So say you have plenty of Ascendant Materials, fill up the materials slots with as much Spinmetal/Helium Filaments/Spirit Bloom/Relic Iron until there are none left over. You need the armor pieces? Fill up all your Primary/Special/Heavy Weapon slots, fill up your Armor Slots(Including your Class Armor Slots) until you have ONE slot availabe for each piece you need, fill up your Shaders Slots, fill up your Vehicle Slots and Ship Slots. The way this works is since you're guaranteed rewards, this narrows down what rewards you're going to get. THIS DOES WORK! *NOTE: You cannot choose what weapons you get, it only goes by Primary, Special or Heavy Weapons. If you have all the Heavy Weapons from the raid then fill those slots up; same goes for the Primary and Special Weapon Slots. If you give this a try and it works for you as well, give this post a "like"! [b]EDIT: I have personally done this and it worked for me; I do not know if those comments saying that their stuff went to the Post Master are legit or are people that just want to prevent people from exploiting this tactic. NOTE: Just in case, this might not work for everyone.[/b] [b]EDIT 2: A friend of mine has gotten this to work for him as well! What we noticed was as long as we had Ascendant Materials in our inventory to stack, we would get those AND the reward(s) we wanted from the raid. Sorry for the mix up![/b]

    Sadly, this does not work. Having said that, [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/73153066/0/0]the loot system is not RNG[/url], it is PLS despite almost everybody believing it's RNG. Therefore, attributes of the character do influence the loot algorithm, but the community has not yet elucidated how and it may or may not involve gear. The game in general uses PLS. [b]For example, if you have exotic gloves equipped, we have established that this certainly does increase your chances of getting legendary gloves from an engram. [/b]We could speculate that the game is trying to help you by foreseeing that you will want to swap that slot eventually, but it is a flawed system. For instance, if you already have 4 legendary gloves, it does not stop you getting another one! A system that Bungie perhaps thought was clever in reality leads to very frustrating results for many players, often receiving the same item repeatedly because the relevant character attributes have not changed. Keep looking for ways to influence the loot algo. We are still a long way off from unerstanding it that well.
