  • Yes you can by grinding pre-dlc engrams on Vanguard Tiger Strikes, or by grinding Vanguard Rank and hope you get it from a package. (Yes it's possible to get pre-dlc items from Vanguard and Crucible packages.) This applies with Vanguard Roc strikes as well because you will get Dark Below engrams from Vanguard Roc strikes.

  • In tiger strikes if the blue engrams it gives you turns into legendaries at cryptarch there is a small chance it will be vanilla gear

  • An engram that is gained from the [i]reward screen only[/i] from a tiger strike is a vanilla engram. Any legendary that comes from it will be a vanilla legendary. Engrams obtained during the strike from killing an enemy are HoW engrams, which cannot decrypt into vanilla legendary gear. The same restriction does not exist for rare gear. Tiger strikes cannot drop vanilla weapon engrams, however I have one report of a vanilla legendary weapon dropping from a HoW nightfall.

  • Very rarely, but it is significantly more common than legendary->exotic, which is between 1% and 9% with 90% confidence. [spoiler]I did that math.[/spoiler]
