Did exotic engrams drop in the wild in y1???
Question...
I'm talking about an exotic engram droping on the ground and needing to be picked up...not reward screens or purples turning into exotics or the ones xur sold...
anyone saying yes please feel free to post some links to vids id love to see it...
or tell us where you got one...
Edit..
Ok I found one clip (thanks rezyl azzir for telling me about it) on yt of a guy getting an exotic heavy but when he goes to decrypt it it has already turned green before decrypting it...also this was after house of wolfs and its considered "the first ever exotic engram to drop" (its what the video calls it)
Link...https://youtu.be/4aa7FpjY7uI
Go to 3.43 in the vid no need to watch the first part... But you can if you want I don't care...
Link to a couple polls by a random toaster to try and figure out if there was a pattern to these aledged drops...

5 RepliesLet me clear this up. Yes, but very rarely and only for a VERY short time after release as we were not supposed to. They were quickly removed from physical drops. This is why most people will say no. Don't bother asking for proof, it was the first week, I was on 360, and I had no reason to be recording anything with a capture card I barely knew how to use at the time. No, this is not secondhand information. I got my very first exotic, a Suros, from a dropped primary engram, in the wild, on a patrol. I saw it fall from an enemy I killed myself with my own two eyes. I believe this was a glitch linked to accounts that had early access to the game. I started playing the day before it was released. And no, I never played the Alpha or Beta, ever.

17 RepliesDon't know why most here are saying no. Yes they were incidental drops. Shit, within the first two months of release my brother and another friend got exos from loot chests. Also prior to HoW, watched another friend get a Gjallar off of a knight at the world's grave. It happened, just not very often and I think they cut it off after CE

4 RepliesThey did, but stopped dropping after they reworked the way deciding works

13 RepliesYes, exotics engrams did drop few and far between in patrol and select missions in yr one. Now if they turned in to exotics is another story destiny trolled engrams hard back in the day.
-
Dont think so, although i didnt play as much in year 1 the exotics i got were(that i remember): Legendary engram-nlb(raged for an hour) Crucible-SUROS(I was happy af) I dont remember any others since i didnt know about xur and didnt buy any dlc

8 RepliesEdited by PhoenixlSlash: 7/23/2016 12:23:22 AMExotics were only ever rewards, never drops. Anyone that says otherwise is mistaken, or lying.

15 RepliesAnyone that says they got one to drop in year 1 without any proof is a lying ass lol

1 ReplyEdited by A Titan: 7/25/2016 10:34:54 AMNo. exotics don't drop in patrol trust me patrol is my most played activity
-
I started playing after HoW but I never seen an exotic engram before TTK only way you was guaranteed an exotic was by beating the PoE your first time
-
Yes and no. Yes they could drop but stupidly rare and when they did you were more likely to get a green or blue item 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the time hence the no
-
They did on release, once the FIRST EVER TU hit, they did not anymore. Bungie wanted them (exotics) to be harder to get and did away with exotic engrams.
-
The fact that anyone is saying yes shows just how misinformed the player base really is.

Edited by Zero: 7/25/2016 11:15:24 AMEngrams no, random crucible drops yes.

1 ReplyI did, once. During the Archon priest nightfall back in year 1. Dropped from the hydra during the second to last encounter. [spoiler]I don't have a screen shot of it since I was on PS3 until last December, so...I guess you'll have to take my word for it. :/[/spoiler]

1 ReplyAnyone who says they did I just attribute it to them having a hazy memory. They did not drop and you can tell be all the hardcore players like us knowing for sure they didn't. I refuse to believe this many people are blatantly lying so I say time alters their memories.

1 ReplySeen a exotic drop message for a random on patrol on skywatch during DB. It existed, but very rare.
-
1 ReplyThey did a long time ago.. My friend got an exotic chest engram week 3 from the loot cave. Once. That was it.
-
1 ReplyIt did happen. One of my friends had it happen in the rocket yard.
-
-
I've never had an exotic drop while patrolling or farming. Closest I got was having legendary engrams encrypt in to exotic.
-
Wasn't in the game code so no
-
Yesyes when u killed a boss or bosses.
-
1 ReplyI find it funny all these people claim to have gotten one but the only video ever of one dropping turned into a green. Coincidence? I think not.
-
1 ReplyExotics did not drop in the wild. Legendaries would convert on rare occasions to exotics. This has been a myth floating around for some time. Don't believe the masses.

3 RepliesPeople are thick dude, they ' no comprende' lol

4 RepliesThe "exotic" found in the video was obviously a green. You even see it when he picks it up.
