Skeleton key droprate too low
20 strikes and 1 key. Fix needed.
Edit: 1 in 4 is a good droprate. 1 in 5 Max
I'm talking about my personal experience in the 350 strike list.
Edit: because this topic is now trending and popular, I want to ask you all to only use constructive feedback and keep on topic discussions. Thanks for all the replies and bumps

20 strikes and no key. There is just no point doing them after you are 385 light for loot, or after 390 for vanguard rep. The occasional 3 of coins exotic engram is much quicker to find in crucible. And the thing is, strike chests are what is suggested as a way to get light up after 390. But you get no keys to do that, and the rare key that does drop usually results in a class item, which is useless. You can light up in class items with Archon forge. Nothing drops above 385 in normal raid, and most people want players well over 390 to do the hard raid. The only other way is Trials (and that is for the few, since there is no system in place to match player skill level history). Please fix this, strikes are not short, to do., and doing hours of them and coming up with nothing is pointlessly annoying. As a result of all this, Destiny is becoming a very PVP heavy game, the balance has been lost.

This is absolutely still the case. Just ran 11 heroic strikes in the playlist and didn't get a single Skeleton Key. Bungee, any response as to when this will be patched? That is a crazy drop rate.
-
Stop whining.....the drop rate is anywhere from 1/10 - 1/20. I usually get 1 in 20 strikes just doing regular strikes. each strike also has a garunteed drop and you all are whinning about having to farm keys. rofl. this reminds me of how much people whined in year 1 about the exotics drop rate. stop crying, if you don't like it find a new game, otherwise man/women up and get on your big pants and strap in and grind. my god you all are babies.

This is why I didn't buy rise of iron.

1 ReplyHow about having one as a guaranteed drop for doing your first Weekly Heroic strike of the reset? I was running strikes all day yesterday grinding for higher level gear, and came across 2 keys. I do agree that the drop rate is low (though not as low as SIVA offerings), but every 1-5 strikes does seem a little ridiculous. Personally, I'd say that the longer you hold onto the Vanguard buff, the higher chance you have at a key dropping.

178 RepliesI am going to walk over and personally pass along your feedback right now. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Skeleton Keys.

Bump.

It is stupidly low. Out of 40 some odd strikes I received 2 keys.
-
Ditto. Get a key about every 15-20 strikes. I am a serious grinder (total cryptarch level nearing 400 so Bungie knows I grind, lol). Ran strikes for about four hours yesterday just to get one. I love the grind, but dang! Don't mind having to work for it but this might constitute cruel and unusual punishment, lmbo!!! Hope it gets tweaked a bit.......and soon.😉

1 Reply1 in 20 is fine....these strike exclusive weapons didn't drop every 5 strikes in Y2
-
I would say 1 in 5 strikes as long as you don't return to orbit. Staying in the strike Playlist should grant a key after a set amount. So bump lol
-
5 Replies1 in 5 is far too often. They're supposed to be [i][u]rare[/u][/i] drops. Not you do a few strikes and go get your exclusive.
-
I ran 350 strikes for a little over three hours last night. Not a single key drop.
-
9 RepliesConsidering they guarantee you a strike specific weapon, they really should not drop that frequently. Otherwise, players could potentially get every one of them in only one day. These weapons are supposed to be special, so having keys drop really often would just make it too easy to get them. That being said, 20 strikes without a key is nuts. How about 10 - 12 range instead? Access keys to the Archon forge, however, should be training from the frickin sky.
-
1 ReplyAnd there should be a guarantee for something out of the chest. Used my key last night for the first time and got nothing.
-
1 ReplyGot one average Grasp until Rise came out, one. In less than a week of release, I have gotten two more with Skeleton Keys, one is awesome. The Keys are fine. The fact that you can access a strike specific item at will is awesome. If you get 1 damn key a week, you'd be well ahead of the drop rate for these rare items over the suffering from the first two years. Never expect anything as a reward in Destiny, and never be disappointed 😁

Me and a friend grinded heroics for 5 hours and got three keys between us.
-
I've ran about only about 10-15 strikes and never gotten a key. My friends and I are really considering stopping playing strikes cause we don't have all day to run strikes to get 1 key. So a higher drop rate would be prime. Doesn't have to be a high drop rate just higher than current.
-
Did two plus hours of strikes today and didn't get a key. 1-4 would be great. What with Bungie and key drop rates. Soon we will be getting on our sparrows and trying to farm the chest in the strikes like we did the wolves chest.
-
1 ReplyAlthough I do agree with what you said, it seems a little too much. But 1-5 is way to often, 1-10/15 seems better.
-
Yes that is true. More like a 10-15 drop. 1-4 seems too much
-
At 1 in every 4 you'd be 385 in a day, the drop rate gives me the shits, but its understand why it is what it is. No way they'll change this.
-
1 ReplyThe drop rate is probably the same as the strike specific one. Only this time you get to bank your good luck.
-
I would say like 1 in 5 is a good ratio. It would get people playing strikes a lot more. Plus you still have the chance of getting a terrible roll so it's not really to much.
