Edit #3: Squeezing this in at the top here, if you have your number of Archon's Forge victories (in your record book), please post it here along with the number of weapons you've gotten from the Forge. I need the data.
The only thing I seem to get from Archon's Forge is armor (this happened literally only once), engrams, and class items (just about every other time). I had a group earlier today, and one person in my fireteam got a "But Not Forgotten" Sniper.
Now, I got nothing (except presumably a class item, or an Engram). The other person in the fireteam got nothing. The other three people in the Forge got nothing.
What gives?
We did two Perfected SIVA Offerings in a row, maybe even three, but I got nothing but crappy little friendship bracelets (facetious term for Warlock Bonds is facetious) and a pair of gloves.
The poll above should help me gather data that I (and maybe Bungie, if they decide to rebalance this) need. Please, leave a reply. Feel free to tell me what dropped for you as well. I won't get too salty, I promise.
Edit #1: Someone down below (pablogordon, I followed your suggestion, I'm giving you credit now) said to put this in, basically a PSA to all of you running with a fireteam.
[quote]1st) WALK, do not run/sprint/sparrow the hallway from the dais. You will almost always be the only one in the lobby if you go in there fast.
2nd) If you do no damage to the boss, you will not get any rewards. If you die, and the boss dies before you can get any damage in, you get nothing.
3rd) on the common and rare offerings, please for the lobby let the boss out of the clamshell so everyone can get loot....I see so many people working on adds and the boss is dead before the clamshell finishes opening on the two lower tier offerings.[/quote]
Now, according to Splicer Warden, you can run and jump into the forge, just don't sparrow in there. Otherwise there won't be any other players in the forge. Personally, I have made this mistake before, and it kind of explains a lot... The rest is self-explanatory. Maybe this can help you all.
Edit #2: I'm also seeing a few posts that some people were unaware that Archon's Forge drops weapons. This is a problem that needs to be solved.
Edit #4: Another question, has anyone acquired anything other than a special weapon? Or are they just [i]that rare?[/i]
Edit #5: I was unaware of the fact that the primaries that I thought the forge dropped came from Iron Banner. Sorry for the mix-up. Original question still stands.
Edit #6: Okay, so apparently you can get rewards without doing damage to the boss, so disregard a part of edit 1.

Nothing but hunter cloaks and boots twice.
-
Ive seen a few of each, naturally class items are everywhere but weapons and the forge armour are there just rediculously rare.
-
Just armor for me if that.
-
I have around 200 victories. I've had maybe 4 weapons total.
-
2 RepliesGotten one saladins vigil...three armor pieces and about 3000 cloaks and bonds...
-
Only 2 class items so far. Haven't played with the forge much, though.
-
I got like 5 cloaks, and a helmet. No weapons yet. But I'm hoping soon, I want the fusion before it gets nerfed.
-
I've had some fun playing the Archon's Forge, but I don't think anything other than infusion items have dropped for me. Definitely not any weapons. I'll probably stop and play while passing through from now on, but don't plan to make it a destination at all. It's all good though.

4 RepliesHaving a harder time finding ANYONE to go in and kick ass with....damn scarce as hell. Peace Out

I've got Lorry loads of marks, a few armour pieces but nooo weapon and I've done a lot of Archons Forge.

1 ReplyWait, Archon's Forge drops weapons as loot? [spoiler]I know that it's [i]supposed[/i] to drop weapons, butI've never been rewarded anything better than a class item below my light level.[/spoiler]
-
I'm getting mostly jack sh*t!
-
Saladins vigil fusion rifle drops all the time for me lol
-
2 RepliesI got one titan helmet, and a ton of engrams (uncommon to legendary), and some class armor, but absolutely no weapon drops whatsoever. I've grinded Archon's Keep for forty-five minutes at a time, but still no weapon drop.
-
1 ReplyAssorted engrams and way too many cloaks, no armor or weapons.
-
Mostly class items, true, but I've had 2 snipers and 3 fusion rifles drop.
-
Not sure what the drop rate is supposed to be but accrording to the book I've done it 196 times and in those times I've only had one sniper and two fusion rifles drop.
-
If the loot for the event was more consistent I feel like it'd attract more players to it. It'd be a lot more fun and the effort would be worth it.
-
Ive probably ran 50 or so offerings and have only received 5 or 6 class items. Thats it...
-
I have had quite a few blue engrams from the forge turn into legendary weapons with great rolls. No direct legendary weapon rewards though.
-
I'm on a streak of 32 class items, still no weapon... yey.
-
I've done about 15 and I haven't gotten anything worth while so I quit playing it.

1 Reply3 fusion rifles dropped in a row. need sniper ;-;

1 ReplyMy friend yesterday was lucky enough to find 4 people in patrol all doing archons forge. He invited me and we killed bosses left and right for a good half hour or so! Many legendary engrams, 4 cloaks, but zero weapons. Meanwhile, My friend was swimming in snipers and fusion rifles.
