True story: Friend is a level 22, I'd just got him back into destiny after he'd purchased it on day one. The guy goes in and, in the need to get better armour and upgrade his light level, joins a tiger strike (level 24). He gets a team and it's the Valus strike. At one point he kills a yellow bar psion and he sees a yellow engram (which I didn't know existed). He picks it up. [b]Hawkmoon[/b]. This guys first exotic was a Hawkmoon at level 22. I got my first exotic from Xur (IB) as a 26 and my next was Thorn (dat bounty). I think bungie likes this guy.
Edit: Alright, so it would seem that I've made a mistake. I feel pretty dumb. I guess they don't drop (or haven't since week 3 like some say. I'm going to have to get the right story from my buddy... Sorry for the convenience

One time I was at the old loot cave. I shit you not in the bottom left corner of the screen it says he found MIDA multi tool. He walked up to the cave and then orbits.

He's not that lucky

I have seen one yellow engram drop for me. I can't remember what it contained though :( But it was definitely after dlc.

Yellow engram's USE to drop before they made legendary engrams only have legendaries in them. The system knew it was suppose to be a blue when it dropped when you first got the legendary before update. Same thing, yellows dropped and they were suppose to be the real legendaries. Now ofc if you got a legendary and it was a legendary. That was a blue rolling into legendary. Now you don't see them because exotics do not drop

Lol no such thing as exotic engram drops

I swear I've gotten Yellow Engram drops before, but people tell me it's impossible. I'm mildly color blind, but I doubt that would make a difference enough of a difference. On the other hand, both times I've gotten what I believe were yellow Exotic Engrams they ended up being legendary Items or materials, so I guess it's somehow possible I was seeing those engrams as Yellow when they were actually purple. Although I never have any trouble recognizing purple engrams.

Edited by duardoblanco: 3/28/2015 10:35:21 AMI'm sure 95% or so are talking about drops they received as a reward at the end of a strike. Seems like about a 1% drop rate for exotics on an ROC. The other 5% are talking about the "good old days," i.e. September, or the weirdness of the trial version. Factor in a +-5% for people who lie.

1 ReplyI had gotten the Universal Remote after doing the Archon Priest strike. I'm not sure if it was an actual drop, or if it just gave it to me but I'll just say it was a drop. Needless to say, I never used it because why would I want a shotty as my primary?

Once. So long ago.

My brother got one, but it was pre-cryptarch patch and turned into a rare sniper rifle :-(

Wow. ... Video? No. Photo. No. Fail. Priceless.

7 RepliesI have never seen one stop, but heck I've never had a legendary engram turn into an exotic either.

Exoctic engrams DONT drop a legendary engram has a chance to turn into an exotic. You can only buy an exoctic engram from xur.
