Ok guys so I noticed a way to get guaranteed Strike Exclusives.
It HAS to be Nightfall! Ok so this was tested over 6 Nightfalls. If you don't use a Three of Coins before killing the boss you get a guaranteed exclusive. Last week on the Psion Flayers I didn't use any and got 3 exclusives. This week I used 2 on my first two runs and got nothing. I just finished soloing my Nightfall to make sure my theory was correct and I got a Darkblade Helm. THIS REALLY WORKS! I thought I would let everyone know before the reset.
One thing, it has to be the first run on each character. I tested it on a character I had already done it on and only got blues.
If you tell anyone about this, please give me credit!
Edit 1: Guys this has only worked since the Nightfall patch went live.
Edit 2: Guys you can't be dead when the boss is killed just tested.

I didn't use a 3oC since it was flayers and got nothing.

Theosyion Vibrissae,these gauntlets I picked up in a regular strike.....no 3 of coins(why people think 3oc work for legendary stuff is beyond me)as I understand certain strikes produce strike specific items....like the echo chamber gives these gauntlets....undying mind gives imago loop...and others
-
2 out of 3 nfs got darkspite
-
I did the Psion nightfall 4 times on my hunter and got the blue cloak on my last run. Much better odds than running the plain strike repeatedly
-
As others have said, to small of a sample size to prove it. Even if this worked, I'm not sure of the value of a strike exclusive legendary over an exotic.
-
Your logic is flawed because Three of Coin uses don't count against the Flayers. To prove this, I had one used before I launched the Nightfall (didn't know which Strike it was until it started), and I still got a Solar cloak. Just call yourself really lucky maybe?
-
I used three of coins every time this week and still got 2 darkblade helms.
-
You do realize 3 of coins don't even work on the Dust Palace mission with the flyers, right?
-
I did the flyers 3 times last week with no 3oC and got no cloaks
-
3 of coins doesn't work on Flayers anyway.
-
I did get 3 fusion rifles last week and didn't use 3 of Coins. Good point, I will try this out :)
-
Much higher drop rate from nightfall? Nothing new.
-
I honestly got the void mantle from a nightfall without a coins on so this could have possibly been right
-
I would like to say that this isn't true, but I did get the fusion rifle from the nightfall...

What about strikes that can't be nightfall? That sucks...
-
It's just rng I never use 3oc on flayers but never got mantels or rifle
-
Edited by strider367: 11/2/2015 10:22:51 PMI'm more likely getting the strike reward when I use the the coin. I'll get it instead of an exotic when the boss drops blue's. But is that just me?
-
3oC doesn't even work on psions, but drop rate does feels higher on nightfalls
-
Thanks for this it actually gives me more of a reason to do the nightfall
-
I think the drop rate is just higher
-
I don't know about other nightfalls, but I am pretty sure the drop rate of the flayers cloak was higher during the nightfall.
-
I can confirm this
-
I will be interested to try this as I did get the spite fusion.
