I remember back in Destiny 1 where Gjallarhorn or Icebreaker took me around 6-7 months to get the drop for the first time. I know, it's supposed to be hard to get but come on, it gets frustrating.
Nowadays, on Forsaken, Exotic drop is insanely low, about what? 0,01% drop rate? does our accounts have a luck delta variable that determines how lucky we are ??? how do you guys manage RNG? how is explained that some people get 2-3 new exotics every week and some get none since Forsaken was released?
I was kinda lucky in the very first weeks, i think i got 2 new exotics or so, rest were year 1... but now, i haven't gotten any exotic in like 2 weeks or more. Some of my friends do get exotic, but all are Year 1.
I try everything, farming Strikes with Fireteam medallion and Vanguard Boons, farmed PvP QP and Competitive a lot, i even got my Not Forgotten, not even 1 exotic was dropped out of those matches.
Even attempted going boss farm on Dreaming City Challenge Knights.
Nothing was dropped so far. And AFAIK, by reading the forums, i see a lot of people under the same circumstances. Is this low rate going to be fixed any time soon?

15 RepliesWhat are your smoking the drop rate was so bad in D1 that some people never got gally, exotics only dropped from the raid

lol kids complaining about drop rate didnt get my first exotic till 4 weeks later

Alright alright alright.... I don't get $hit on this game. No meatball since day one of bungie announcing it. Exotics I do get are year 1, but are 600!!!! Even my l legendary rolls suck royal di○k. Like why play D2 if this is all you get? Big waste of time.

the horrible exotic drop rate is one of the reasons i stopped playing this game

1 ReplyEdited by Slevi: 10/30/2018 3:51:36 PMDrop rates were better in D1. I could farm Strikes all day if i wanted exotics. Were talking 3 exotics a day if you farmed strikes straight. In D2, exotics only drop from the powerful engram milestones. For some people thats only 1-2 exotics per week. Also they nerfed exotic drops since Foresaken. Exotics no longer drop from public event or strike chests.

4 RepliesIt’s definitely better then the OG Destiny in which case it took me like two months till I got a drop (Granted I never farmed the loot cave) I was getting most of my exotics from Xur back then. I’ve gotten easily over 30 exotics so far since Forsaken came out, Two last week with minimal amount of playtime (Like three or four hours)

2 RepliesMost of my exotics come from strikes. You can kill a good amount of adds compared to patrol, and you can pop boons which have a chance to grant everybody legendary/exotic engrams. You can buy them from Zavala for a low price of 10 legendary shards.

2 RepliesSo since the reset i have gotten the meatball to appear in gambit (2nd match), ophidian aspect (on ground), and cerberus+1 (on ground) in maybe 4 hrs of playtime Did they just ridiculously increase drop rates or did i just have a good day, im all for more exotics but 3 like that in a day has me worried they may start becoming less exotic Thoughts?

Edited by RingersCheckmate: 10/30/2018 4:03:30 PMD1 exotic drop rates (least in my experience, pre ToC) made forsakens rates look like the exotic welfare. I get 1-2 exotics a week nowadays, but 95% of them have been dupes so it kills the excitement of getting them. It’s so bad I get universal remote flashbacks from The dark disappointment.
