Buff lost sector exotic drop chance

Give a buffed chance for lost sector drop rates

73

Bad luck protection that increases chances

244

Keep as is

44

I've been grinding the Spelchur lost sector for about an hour now and I've only gotten one exotic to drop (I'm doing the Legend version) I have my run down to about 3 mins and its been a full nonstop hour for 1 exotic. While I enjoy the lost sector (all the Witch Queen lost sectors are cool) I don't feel rewarded for spending an hour of my time for a single exotic that I probably won't ever use (I got a crest of alpha lupi) I think the Lost Sectors (both legend and master) need a buff in drop rate or at least a bad luck protection that improves your chances for an exotic after each run you don't get one. It's so aggravating having only 1 day to grind for the exotic armor you want before it rotates and then having to wait four days until the piece you want comes back up again. And then there's the three days where I don't grind when its the moon lost sectors (because honestly those lost sectors suck so much on legend and master).

  • Seriously Bungie, this is a problem that needs addressing. There is way too much RNG involved to have this low of a drop chance. I've seen that the Legend lost sector has a 25% drop chance (lol okay sure) and Master only has 33% (literally no point in doing master other than for triumphs). That means there is 25-33% chance to get ONE exotic armor drop. And in an armor slot that has a lot of exotics already (for example Hunters have 8 exotic boots) its already a low chance to get the piece that you're grinding for. Then to top it off, you have to take in the RNG of getting a decent roll which is already stupidly low. Its not too much to ask for a buffed chance when we're already dealing with enough RNG. In fact, I believe that people will be more likely to grind if they're getting more drops. In my opinion they would keep grinding for a better roll of their armor if the chances were better (at least I would). Right now, most folks just get a piece and then stop because they can't be assed to deal with the crap RNG.

  • Back in my day…. We didn’t have exotic kiosks to re acquire exotics… our only chance at an exotic was the nightfall or raid…. our vault could hardly hold 20 items. Guardians these days are so spoiled.

    • I hate that I'm missing out on exotics because the game refuses to reward them to me for completing a challenging lost sector. I admit I don't farm the lost sectors but after completing a few there should be a CHANCE at an exotic, right? To be clear, I have NEVER had an exotic drop after doing one

      Well, do I? - old

      Also, why has Veles Labyrinth gone from the fastest LS to one of if not THE longest?

    • I did one earlier this morning before reset .. I got the helmet for my warlock that was released a few seasons ago.. I think the one that spawns rifts with dawnblade I'll have to double check.. Not that I would use it.. it also dropped at a 57.. good thing is it dropped at 1555 so that was a boost for my current helmet

    • Kill all enemies for better drops. I found this works if your not getting exotics to drop. Need at least 80 kills by end

    • It should be based off three things, each should increase chances. Base chance at an exotic should be around 5-10% +5-15% for the following Solo Flawless/amount of deaths Platinum/Kill all Champions Time it took to complete Lost Sector/Faster the better obviously

        A chance at anything shouldn’t even be in the game especially when your game is already dictated or designed by RNG. Remove the chance and put the choice in players hands while allowing the RNG to dictate what you get overall. At least then the player at has a chance at getting the exotic from a choice but the RNG factor determines what your stats, rolls, perks or whatever are.

      • Your clear time is irrelevant - and in a game with RNG, it's all about luck. Some people will get it on their 1st run, some will take 20+. No different than the people who farm GMNF's to get the adept weapon, but only getting crap rolls that they don't want. You get what you get - not what you want, unfortunately.

        • They should be guaranteed on master. I cant tell how many times I completed Master lost sectors last season just to get air.

        • Legendary campaign completion has the worst exotic reward at 48 points. After you get the exotic armor you want, you are basically screwed. For lost sector, put on discipline ghost, you most likely get what you want, not Godroll but at least usable. My experience tell me, the first time you dive into LS, it only takes 1-3 tries to get new exotic. So the one you want the most, you must do first. This season, hunter arm, 1 try. Titan chest, 15 tries. Warlock can wait as I can foretell it is going to be a pain. Focus on pinnacle until then, the boots. I don't know. Bungie rng is a bit wacky or it is algorithm?? For eg. My character only need +1 to hit next level. I had to almost finish all the available pinnacles to finally got it drop. After that awful experience, whenever one character need +1, I will do other characters and try to get +1 weapon to level up the needy one.

        • Bungie, for real. I don't mind doing the lost sectors a few times a login. But needing to farm the same sector over and over and over annnnnd over. Piss poor design. Once I finally do get the new exotic I'm so annoyed by the damn lost sectors I never touch them again until the next season when you implement the same piss poor design. Seriously rethink this.

        • No lifers like that it can take 30+ runs to obtain the exotic life. They know folks who have a life won’t grind it

        • The other day I ran one to get the new hunter helmet. It was helmets that day. On my second run I got radiant dance machines. I didn't really care because I didn't have it either and I just want to get the helmet for collection purposes but really? Legs on helm day!?

          • Ur playing legend where drop chance is rare… what do you expect? Play master where your chances are much higher

            • I mean I get it, running legend lost sectors can be a pain, but once you get all the unique exotics, would you ever run it again? Legitimate question.
