Hello Guardians.
This is pretty straight forward. All Legendary Weapon Engrams are only decripting to Year 2 (Taken King) Vanguard and Crucible Weapons. I am getting nothing but Smolder's ,Dullivians, Ruin Wake's, Hawksaws, 1k Stares personally.
This is a problem because we just had 12 months to get this content and it is still giving it to us in high amounts. I can not find anything anywhere on the internet from Bungie showing that this is working as intended.
I found one Reddit post that talked about it but then it just stopped trending.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/558njq/hey_bungie_do_you_remember_all_of_the_neat/?st=iug711xg&sh=8df03d9c
My goal with this post is to bring awareness and to determine if this is working as intended or an actual bug. Also to probe with you guys to see what your results are, (I am not talking about packages or rewards, this is ONLY about Legendary Weapon Engrams).
This seems like a HUGE over sight as this does not happen with Legendary Armor Engrams, they only decript to ROI new armor.
It seems ridiculous as this has never happened before in any other expansions. (Once House of Wolves came out, all Legendary Engrams decripted to House of Wolves weapons)
My thoughts about this are below:
1. This is a bug and no one has addressed this with Bungie to get clear results.
2. This was done intentionally by Bungie to essentially time gate all new weapons and only make them accessible to grind packages/Nightfall Rewards/Legendary Marks to purchase. If so, I would have to say that it is pretty effed up.
3. This was done intentionally to make older weapons accessible to newbs.
4. (But not really) New ROI weapons can be obtained from Legendary Weapon Engrams but the RNG chance was made low and almost impossible. It can not be a coincidence that so many other players are experiencing this too.
My bet and money is on number 2, personally. It would not surprise me.
Please. place your experiences here. I am currently hording Legendary Weapon Engrams to show this happening but I have a way to go. If you have video proof yourself, please post.
Thanks
EDIT: I am quite sure Blue Weapon Engrams that turn into legendary weapons are also TTK weapons as well from what I have seen.
EDIT #2
Buying Legendary Weapon Engrams from any Cryptrach gives you Taken King Gear as well. No ROI weapons
-
I don't mind. I got a good hawksaw for the first time.

Bump for the weekend

This is 100% intentional, if it wasn't, it would have been patched by now, if you've been here since Y1 you know this is right up Bungie's alley. It's just another small way to extend the grind, every little bit counts when you have no content planned for about a year.

I play this game so much and it never got my attention till now :p. You guys think it will be fixed soon? Good post OP. Thumbs up

Bumping this

Just thought I was super unlucky haha
-
I'd be happy if the LDR, Lord High Fixer and etc. became available through engrams. It's really surprising that they're not available except through packages. They where out a few months before ROI. Would also be cool to be able to get Eyaslunas and party crashers through some type of engram, instead of ONLY the old crucible playlist.
-
Have you ever considered the possibility that they didn't make many new weapons? This is bungie we're talkin about.
-
We're entitled children, answer us now! Smdh
-
Most are TTK, some have turned into RoI for me... Can't say at what percentage etc... But it is annoying...
-
The armour and class engrams decrypt into roi items must be a bug
-
Yea I've been noticing that too, I've been getting all y2 weapons for heavy engram
-
Exact same experience myself. I assumed all weapon engrams giving TTK legendaries was intentional but it seems not! I'd seen a couple of posts about this but not many people responded. Good to see bungie actually acknowledge it now.
-
I'm really happy to see the work on this thread and my video get noticed!
-
Daily bump
-
I've been getting a mix of both new and old stuff.
-
I've noticed this too.
