So got to rank 50 today with vanguard (yippy new ship). Did this via mostly heroic strikes (save 1 nightfall and week and a few regular strikes at start of season). I have yet to get or see a strike catalyst drop. Is this the way this should be working, 100s of Strikes and nothing?
-
Same here but im closer to rank 60.

Grinding for nothing seems to be where Bungie have gone lately. I've done a silly amount of nodes and no winter wolf as yet. On the other hand, got a shed load of 18 Kelvins.......who's Kelvin anyway?
-
What are the strike catalysts?
-
I don't think rank has anything to do with it. I think people are assuming this because of the faction rally but otherwise rank for vanguard was just to get what is in his inventory.
-
im over a hundred on the vanguard and still no drops for me , this shit really blows.

Forever 29 Gallyhorn Fatebringer Pratorian foil The list is never ending

They are confirmed to be less than 1% chance. So not I'm not surprised. They are not worth the grind unless you are youtube-er that doesn't have a friend's account or an insane collector.
-
Same, I've got zavala ship and have yet to see the first catalyst..
-
Agreed.
-
They seen very rare from anything but prestige nightfalls. Someone grinded them all and only had them drop from prestige nightfalls.
-
Rank 104, and 0 strike catalysts. They said prestige nightfalls have a higher drop chance depending on the difficulty, but it doesn't seem like it.
-
What i heard as a speculation was, that the drops are based on the kills of a boss, just like the kills for the non-strike specific catalysts like Crimson or Darci. For those i needed something about 500 to 1500 PVE killsto drop for me. (Maybe a bit less, but generally i needed a lot of kills.) So, imagine these numbers for Strike bosses.
-
While I'm not even close to rank 50 yet, it's still stupid that I'm yet to see a single strike catalyst. Every other exotic I've found dropped its catalyst within a day or two without even trying specifically to get it. Strike catalysts on the other hand, seem to be set not to drop at all. Ever.
