Question regarding Nightfall-specific drops.

TL;DR Should I be doing repeated 200k runs, or should I just continue to speedrun nightfalls after doing one 200k run until I get the roll I want? Been trying to farm a Mindbender’s for a good roll, but my main issue is that I still don’t understand the logistics of score in relation to frequency of drops. I did one run with a score of 247k because I recalled that Bungie mentioned that higher-score runs yield greater chances of drops, with increases capping at 200k points. What I don’t recall is if the chance-increase applies to that specific run, or all runs afterward. If anyone knows how this works, an explanation would be appreciated.

  • From my experience with doing nighfall grinds for the wayfarer and cursebreaker titles, hit the highest score you can in your first run. After that, just farm easy speed runs until the item finally drops. My group only ran heavyweight with no other modifiers or power increase. It is still based on rng so it may take some longer than others. I hit 188k on corrupted and it took 6 tries after that to get the pulse rifle. I then hit 147k on strange terrain and it took me 32 tries to get the rocket launcher. I did have the specified emblems equipped but I don't know if that actually matters.
