The Prestige Nightfall Threshold Debate - Does score matter?
After so so long of thinking the prestige nightfall thresholds didn't matter, I discovered recently its quite the opposite.
I'm sure some of you will have heard the following claims:
- "Score doesnt matter"
- "Speedrun times make up for the low score"
- "You only need to get a good high score once for the week"
Firstly, Its a fact score does matter in relation to drop rates. (Heres TWAB 1.1.4 https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46708)
As for the second point, I [i]strongly[/i] believe, and so do a lot of others, that speedruns do not make up for the lack of score. Personally I grinded across 6 hours without witnessing a single drop for myself or my fireteam members. That was until I decided to experiment with highscore runs. In no more than 12 110k+ runs I saw a dramatic increase to the drops. I witnessed two people get the DFA before getting my own DFA on my last run (the twelfth). This obviously is just my experience.
Lastly, the third point. To this I have no evidence or anecdotes, but I do believe it to be nothing but a rumour. If any of you can find evidence that supports this claim or disproves it then please let me know.

I find it so funny when people say they got the high score and then got the gun two runs later. SO WHAT??? It's all luck. I've never gotten a high score and I have the Ghost, Sparrow, Sniper, Auto Rifle, DFA, SHIP, and Rocker Launcher. I've gotten all of these on either regular or prestige, however more on regular with a low score/non speed run. My approach has been they drop when they drop and it has saved me a ton of frustration. It's very similar to the catalyst I hear people talking about. I'm sure they exist, however RNG has eluded me on delivery. They will eventually come... LOL!!!!! Best of luck to you!
