Ok so I know how the legacy engrams work... That being said, the only primary I'm interested in that is possible to get through this method is the last word. The others I either already have or don't want. The engram costs 31 sc and I have over 200 sc. There are 11 primary possibilities for this method so I have a 1 in 11 shot of getting the last word. My question is, Is it worth it to try or is it a waste of sc because of the bad odds?
Edit: also considering holding on to my sc since September update is around the corner and I'm assuming there will be plenty of new items to obtain through Xur/sc trade.
Update: went for broke... Spent all my strange coins and didn't get a last word... Fml! On the plus side I didn't get a single duplicate

2 RepliesEdited by Sernik: 7/22/2016 9:29:18 PMGo for it. The legacy engram is heavily weighted to give you stuff you don't have so it will lifely give it you unless you are missing many year 1 primaries

1 ReplyEdited by The Warden: 7/22/2016 9:25:36 PMStrange Coins are extremely common. Blow them all, a 1/11 chance for TLW is very high considering how much RNG screws us over.

3 RepliesBuy 1 and decrypt. You will be surprised that it is a year 1 exotic that you do not currently have. Go back and purchase a 2nd legacy engram. You will again be surprised that it is one you do not currently have. Continue until you get TLW.

There's a good chance you get what you don't already have from the legacy engrams. I got everything i could get one after the other before including TLW.

Read this post right before I started playing about 30 mins ago. Started playing,I was just patrolling mars for daily bounties and taken arrived used a 3oC for dark zealot dropped an exotic and turned into Last Word lulz

Note that they will decode to items you don't already have unlocked. So you only have a 1 in 11 if you don't have any of the Y1 weapons. Check the Weapon Kiosk to see which Y1 exotics you have unlocked. Also note this does not include Nechrochasm.

Bought 3 Bad juju Hawkmoon Thorn

12 RepliesIf you've got a number of other Y1 primaries, that will improve your odds. The Legacy engrams are heavily weighted to decode as something that you don't already have.

1 ReplyIf you want to it is a good shot. I just got a thorn out of it too, lol. P.S. When you get TLW, look up mtashed on how to use it effectively

5 RepliesJUST DO IT! In all seriousness, you can earn a lot of Strange Coins pretty fast. Plus Legacy Engrams are geared towards giving you an exotic you do not own yet (no guarantees though). I would give it a shot.
