The Big Four - Gjallarhorn, SUROS Regime, The Last Word, Patience and Time - THERE IS HOPE FOR RNGEESUS!

So, I have a good story for all those, yet hopeless to receive any of the aforementioned weapons. I call them "The Big Four," and for good reason - they're the four weapons I covet most in the game, in order, but have yet been unable to obtain. I haven't had very much luck with RNGeesus of late. It had been three weeks since I obtained any exotics at all, and those were just duplicates of what I had, same rolls, everything. So, Monday, I decide to do a Vault of Glass run before rising to rank 5 in the Iron Banner. Lo and behold, we arrive at the Gorgon Chest, and - nothing. Another day, without an exotic, it seems. ...then. We get to Atheon, and boom! Patience and Time pops up. I've sought this sniper rifle since I heard of it. It's huge for me as a hunter because it's one more invisibility perk I can pull from. Silent but deadly. So, the reset. I figure my luck's out and that'll be it for a while. So I do the nightfall with no hopes. Get to the end. SUROS pops. I'm freaking out. It's truly a defining moment for me. All that grinding, worth it. So, the hard part of the night. Take an almost-all-clan raid team through Crota, and get to Crota, attempt it 13 times with this team, 7 with another, no joy. Bunch of factors, glitching was the main one, but eventually, just gave up, for a re-attempt tonight. Decided to run Vault again. One of our party members, shockingly, has a Gorgon Checkpoint. So we go to the chest. I open it with my hunter. Energy. I decide, hey, I think I may switch characters. And, before you ask, yes, I always go back through and do the whole raid. Bring in my titan. Open it. The Last Word. Again, major freakout. I've yet to beat Atheon or Crota once this week, so still plenty of chances for the fourth, but I got three of the Big Four, in one week. I can't believe my luck right now. Moral of the story is, don't give up. RNGeesus WILL smile upon you. Everyone keeps saying it. But I lived it. TL;DR got SUROS, The Last Word, and Patience and Time in one week after no exotics for 3+. [Edit] JUST GOT GJALLARHORN LAST NIGHT FROM A LEGENDARY ENGRAM WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! [Edit 2] Wow. Patience pays off. Got Truth AND the Crux/Necrochasm today.
