Legendary engrams turn into materials only?

Been playing since release day, got over 300 hours in (don't remember the exact number), and I still don't have a Legendary version of a void sniper or an arc heavy. Vanguard quartermaster doesn't sell those element damage types of those weapons, and any time I get an engram of that type it decrypts to materials, never a weapon. Bug? Bad luck? Just another example of what a bad upgrade system Bungie implemented?

  • They patched the legendarys to not turn into blues, but instead turn into materials sometimes if you whatch a purple engram decode you'll see a blue item name right before it turns to shards.

  • No. I've gotten weapons and armor before. It's rare but it does happen. I've gotten insanely good drops from them.

  • Considering how many other opportunities there are to get materials, they should never be an option when you get a legendary engram. What a complete buzz kill to get two materials instead of an anticipated legendary item!

  • I'd say something like 80 maybe 90% of legendary engrams I get (and it's not a lot so sample size isn't very good) turn into mats instead of guns. Which I won't mind if legendary stuff continues to use ascendant mats in the next expansion. The majority seems to believe/adamantly want all new legendary gear to require radiant mats instead though. Seems to be mostly to screw anyone who doesn't raid and thus wont have said radiant trash.

  • I recently got a void LDR from nightfall but yes legendary void snipers have not been a common drop for me.

  • Praydeth's revenge is a void sniper, common drop in VoG.
