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]

          • This does not work I can say personally you are just getting lucky it is working out according to your tactic. A perfect example is anytime you fill up a slot completely you still get those items just as much as usual and yes it sends it to the post master. This happens with shaders and class items constantly since mine is always full as well as primary weapons. Most people have all their primary slots filled non stop and they get primary rewards and drops all the time

            The first time I killed Atheon on Hard Mode my Primary Weapon inventory was full without me realizing it. Later on when I went to the Postmaster he had a lost primary weapon waiting for me (see image). Correlation does not imply causation. Loot is random. If there is an inventory overflow system in place like this, why would you ever receive loot based on what empty (or full) slots you have? If this has actually happened to you, congratulations on winning the dice roll. Praise RNGesus!

            • Data collected as proof is unreliable due to it being rng I have received marks and raid ships in the vault with full inventory of the respective item.. The raid rewards end up in the list items box in the tower...

            • Dude seriously why? Why go through the time to write this BS post, what did you get out of it besides a bunch of people telling you you're wrong or insulting you? Loot in the VOG works the exact same way as it does in strikes, missions, patrol etc. If there is an item you missed or your inventory was full it goes straight to the postmaster.

              • actually...yeah, he'll just mail you stuff. its not just from the raid, it's any time you would have pulled something or picked up an orb, but your inventory for that specific slot was full. RNG at it's finest. Do you run w/ your shader slot full? I've gotten a couple of chatterwhite's mailed to me.

                • There was a time when Bungie were much more powerful, but that was long ago. I could tell you of the great hype and expectations that Guardians had, that was soon lost. I could tell you of the Cryptarchs power, how they disappointed many Guardians. There have been stories fabricated by Guardians of how to "fix" the RNG yet they don't work. Lately those stories have slowed down, yet the "fix" doesn't work anyway.

                        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.

                          • When we beat a run on hard we had a guy that was pissed that he only got shards. That was until we went back to the tower and he found a Vex at the postmaster. Maybe your method increases the chances, however I can confirm that you still have the possibility of receiving any item regardless of inventory status.

                          • This is a troll because you have to be at least a level 25 to do the raid by that time you have everything equipped. Certain emblems and being part of a clan with lots of clan members will get you a better drop rate and rarity of it. The ending gear is completely random,. you can get the vex mytho or the icebreaker randomly from the raid but having a exact 100% chance on getting them by having all your slots filled up on everything you equipped will not work. He says [quote] If you give this a try and it works for you as well, give this post a "like"![/quote] and [quote]NOTE: Just in case, this might not work for everyone.[/quote] which shows that this guy wants to be number one on the forums by having you like it if you get the random drop from the raid. You have a really high chance of getting the vex mytho from the raid and the ice breaker or maybe any other armor/weapons from the raid.
