RNG RNGRNGRNGRNG RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR
RANDOM!!!!! Lol do I need to say it again? It's random.
Everything has an equal chance to drop but there is a lot of different guns.. And a lot of different exotics...
So first you think about the chance of getting an exotic which is really low... Then you have to think of all the exotics in the pool... And then multiply by the number of weapons to see your chance at getting a particular one...
I watched a video of a guy getting dragons breath and gjallarhorn from the cryptarc at the same time...
It's all totally [b]random[/b]

Computers can't actually generate a random number. The closet they get is using a process to sample a number that is then compared to a table of data that was generated by dice rolling. In the end the percentage chance set by a developer isn't the actual odds. It can never be random unless there is a mechanical device that physically roles a die (or dice) and uses that result for each instance.

Computer's use the crystal oscillator to compute random numbers FYI.

Edited by Ewing: 5/22/2015 4:32:10 PM+1 It's an interesting topic. Sudo Random Number Generation. It's still not True Random Number Generation.

Yes if you take computer science in college you learn that it is not truly random.
