Are engram drops only mailed to you if you complete the Activity?

So last night, a buddy of mine and I were doing the nightfall. We were waiting for silly Dinklebot to open the door for us and sniping some Wizards from afar. When low and behold I see a rare unicorn; a legendary engram pops out from an acolyte that I shot from long distance. Since its the nightfall... I of course don't risk wiping us to go grab the engram (It was really far into the room... it was sure death). I figure "oh, it'll get mailed to me if we wipe or something". Then the next round of 4 wizards comes and they all rushed us faster than either of us expected. We tried to run but were quickly mowed down. To orbit we go. But I didn't see anything in the tower... no mail. We went to the tower just in case... nothing. We eventually completed the nightfall but still... no engram in the mail. So if that truly is the working as intended behavior... I beg bungie to reconsider that behavior. Legendary engrams have been so rare out in the world, especially since the huge engram patch. I think that was the second legendary engram I had seen drop since that patch.

  • My best guess is that the server didn't save before you got booted. It WILL save if you pick up the legendary Engram. Personally, I would have told my team to find a safe place to hide, and made a dash for the Engram. You can always go to orbit and come back in. Only takes like 1 minute or so.

  • Yes if you miss a engram it is mailed back to you

    • The whole mail thing is weird. Sometimes I've returned to the tower to find a random legendary engram waiting for me. No idea where it came from. Not complaining at all, it's just really random. PS any tips for Nightfall, the wizards kept mauling us last night.

      • Well I didn't even see one drop last night but my buddy got a drop though. So we went back to the tower so he could get his item from it and I actually had one in the mail. I don't remember seeing one drop but I was still stoked.

      • The rare or legendary engrams that fall out of bounds or that you did not see, but were near you at some point should be in your mail when you arrive at the tower. Greens do not. It does not always though. I've had a few that I was not able to get to before the end game timer ran out, and they were lost entirely.
