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.

Xur is the real RNGesus! He blesses those who believe! Praaiiiiseeee xuuuuuuuuur!
-
Nice man
-
My big one is Gjallarhorn, have every exotic but that. Oh, and the swordbreaker. It refuses to drop for me.
-
I have p&t, vex, hawkmoon, tlw, suros, 2 gallys, mida, thunderlord, bad juju, red death, icebreaker, dragons breath and plan c. Still struggling to get thorn, pocket infinity and invective. I dont really care about necrochasm, hard light, montecarlo and universal remote. I dismantled a 4th horseman thinking it was worthless. For some weird reason i want a no land beyond. Hoping for HoW guns to be awesome and worthy.
-
People still use Sorus?
-
Only got a big three Hawkmoon Fourth Horsemen Vex Rngesus seems to have decided that I'm not worthy of these weapons
-
Xur sold the last word yaaaàaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
-
Staaaapppp dood you're gonna make me cry
-
You used up all your luck until comet.. Now you'll never get ghorn
-

-
My "big four" tlw invective thunderlord and gally Still only have invective Shoots self in foot in ankle deep puddle several times

First of all congrats on finally getting them , I already all my nightfalls and all I got was a new monarchy hand cannon which I didn't have , but then again I haven't play destiny as much as I used to since I been hooked on bloodborne . But yeah RNG will come for you in one way or another , I remember one week where in the spawn of 3 days . Monday , Tuesday , Wednesday . I got Suros, red death , Monte Carlo , hawkmoon , the last word , thunderlord , 4 vexes , mida multi tool . I thought that after that my luck would run out . And for the most part it has , but hopefully one day it will smile upon me again and give me that coveted gjallarhorn

Edited by BStanley92: 4/10/2015 3:36:57 PMGood job escaping! I'm still in the pit, been in it for a long time. Any exotic I get for drop - NLB or universal remote. I've got 5 nlb's. Every nightfall gives me energy or shards. Vog chest - shards or energy. Crota/deathsinger - shards or energy or NLB. It's disheartening as hell because the group I raid with/nightfall with get exotic drops all the time. Hell just last night ran nightfall on my secondary character. Partners get plan c and thunderlord. I get 10 energy. I have the most kills. I've seen everyone in my raid group get gjallarhorns, some guys are on their 2nd or 3rd drop. I get nothing. It's frustrating as hell.
-
Got them.all yess
-
He sold TLW before and Ghorn last year. Idk about Suros and P&T
-
Curious about your criteria for determining your 'Big Four'. Is this for PvP or PvE? If so there are notable absences (Thorn and Ice Breaker respectively). Last Word isn't so hot for PvE either. I seem to get P&T quite frequently for some reason, mostly from raids. Gjallarhorn seems to drop at raid bosses for me a fair bit too, as well as one from the abyss chest before it got patched. I once got 2 SUROS regimes from one CE play through - one from Ir Yut and one from Crota. Last Word is the most elusive for me. I've had 2 I believe.
-
Nice list. My big four's gotta be: Gjallarhorn SUROS Hawkmoon Ice Breaker Have Gjally and IB so check on them! Don't have Playstation so count out Hawkmoon for now =(, and I'm still trying my darnedest to get that friggin SUROS.....
-
I've gotten 10 Last Words from VoG and Deathsinger. I don't even do PvP. I haven't even gotten to the first level of Crucible.
-
Congratulations! Nothing compares to getting that one exotic to drop after wanting it for so long! Happy leveling, guardian.
-
I think the big 3 are suros, icebreaker and gjallarhorn. They are the most op guns in the game. Well pre nerf for SUROS.
-
N00b Patience and time has been sold at least twice and so has TLW. Go away noobies
-
My "big four" are probably: Hawkmoon Thorn- Have on 360 but not on ps4 Ice breaker- Have on 360 but not on ps4 The Last Word- Have on 360 but not on ps4
-
No but seriously....people say Suros is not so good anymore. ..was very weakened after the nerf and has one of the lowest TTK Ratios of exotics..and that even Hard Light can beat it...u agreee? I have hard light but im not very impressed tbh
-
Really want Patiants and Time and Gally. but im glad for ya man
-
XUR SELING SUROS MY EXOTIC VOLLECTION IS COMPLETE
-
All are mime
