Soooo after getting the shorty 3 times out of maybe 15 total runs, and the sniper after 2, the smg has not dropped in over 50+ completions. I've gotten so many normal legendary engrams from y1 but not a damn smg or any weapon for that matter. I'm guessing they nerfed the drop rate significantly as they nerfed the difficulty

2 RepliesEP has the same drop buff as Nightfalls, i.e. more boss kill without a drop, higher your chances to get a drop on subsequent kills. However, the weapon that drops, especially when it's all 3 weapons (this week and the next), you have an equal chance of getting any of the three. Once you do get a drop, the buff resets, which means more boss kills to activate the buff. You can check the schedule for EP weapons on this [url=https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/a0igko/escalation_protocol_weapon_drop_schedule_updated/]reddit post[/url]. Next time it's SMG only, is two weeks from now.
