Buff Heroic Lost sector exotic drops

I've done dozens of heroic lost sectors this season and I still can't get the new chest pieces. This is bullshit. If you are gonna trap new exotic armor behind HLS then increase the rewards! I've spent hours today grinding and all I'm getting are these useless Herealways Pieces. Like wtf!? Why cant you do the one thing we consistently ask you to do? MAKE THE F U C K I N G GAME REWARDING AND WORTH OUR TIME!

    • In general I think legendary and master LS need to have their loot looked at. I don't think anyone should do one of these, be forced to do it solo for loot thats worth it, then walk away with hereaway pieces and nothing else. At the very least guarantee cores and make Prisms uncommon drops. Personally I think if they are dead set that these are good for the game and they won't change loot, at least drop the "Only if Solo" and let fireteams run these for loot. Otherwise the investment for doing these is just not worth it.

      • My definition of boring- Doing the same legendary lost sector over a dozen times for 1 exotic.

          From my experience this is simply not true. I have went for 7 featured lost sector exotics. All in the 1300 version of the lost sector. The number of runs it took for each one: 6, 7, 1, 4, 6, 4, 2. The average is 4.2 and the standard deviation is 2.21. If my data is representative, which, with 7 examples it seems to be, then not getting the exotic by your 12th run would be a 3.5 sigma outlier. In other words, the math does not support that you actually ran it 12 times and did not get a drop, much less that this happens repeatedly.

          • I'm not trying to make fun of peoples bad RNG, just passing along my experience and what my drop rate has been. I've run the Heroic (1300) and a few Master Lost Sectors for the past 2 seasons. I'm not sure if I'm lucky or not, but I've gotten all 6 (3 per season) of the new Exotics running my Titan, Warlock and Hunter through it. It could also be that I already had all the exotic armour pieces for all 3 classes, so those were only new ones I could get. It seems we need to repeat it multiple times in a row to build up our RNG luck before an Exotic drops. On average, I would say it's about 3 to 4 runs of the Heroic (1300) to an exotic drop, however I have gone as many as 11 runs and as few as 1 run in a row. The Max (1330) level is simply not worth the time to do and in my last season experience the exotic drop rate is even worse on them that the 1300 have been. Thursday I was farming for the Telesto Catalyst and ran the Bunker 15 Europa 1300 lost sector for about 1.7 hours. It was taking me 6.5 minutes per run on average and with the ~ 0.5 to 1 minute start up - end time, I got about 13 to 15 runs in. I got 3 or 4 Exotic arms - all of which I already had - but some had better stats than my old ones. Never got the Catalyst, but I'll try another lost sector that is easy and fast soon.

            • Same for master lost sectors; I just ran the Exodus garden 2A lost sector 30 god damn times, only to get a 4 or so drops of >60 stat clestial nighthawk roll that I didn't need or want. There were times I was getting only a handful of glimmer for my time. Having to deal with those overload fallen captains and intentionally awkwardly placed barrier servitors, for 4000 glimmer, sucks ass bungie:/

            • As soon as I get the new exotics from the lost sector for my Titan I hop off and hope for the best that any exotic engram I get either through off world, seasonal passes or xur (unsure if it’s possible) would give me a better stats version of the same exotics that was previously from those lost sectors.

            • It should have been a column in the variks upgrades: nothing unlocked, heroic lost sectors drop bunches (3-4) cores (or 1-2 prisms for master). First tier unlocks the chance for exotic drops on solo. Second tier guarantees an exotic on the first run of the day for each character, third tier gives overall increased drop rate.

            • just did two (finally!) got some blues and an enhancement core. legendary lost sectors are straight up garbage. i’d farm a list sector and run it over and over for exotics to get a good roll this was just torture.

              • Like I said in another post. Whether this is intentional or not, I believe the master version is not designed for you to farm the exotics. It's more of a flex to others that "hey I solo'd the master LS, I'm so special" Theres no excuse , because you guys have been posting these issues to bungie since the very first LS, and are they listening? No, cuz they dont care about your experience, just care how many times you ran it, and how it makes the game look good because you spent so much time on 1 activity that only rewarded you materials and glimmer. P.s. materials and glimmer shouldnt be THE LOOT, it should be the bonus on top of the loot. You should at least get a chance of high stat gear or good weapon roll and obviously higher chance of exotics. But again I dont think master lost sectors are designed for that. It's more of a flex to others than the actual reward. Remember the end game is friendship lol, so you can flex to them all you want

                • I definitely agree. The lost sectors aren’t fun to grind at all. Drops need to be buffed.

                • What are these heroic lost sectors you speak of? I only know legend and master lost sectors. Also new exotics are not locked behind LS

                  • It seems like a 15%-20 chance for an exotic drop from my experiences on Legend, as I've averaged between 5-7 runs per exotic drops.

                  • I might be completely wrong 'cos I don't know if Legendary/Master Lost Sectors work like this, but I've noticed that less time I use to complete them, more Rewarding they are. First times I attempted to complete Legendary/Master Lost Sectors it took me 12-15 minutes and in the end I got only like 1 Core. Now I can run them in 5-8 minutes and I always get Cores, Herealways, LEgendary and the Exotics. Exotics sometimes are 60+, sometimes they're not. I don't know if this is just RNG.

                  • I dunno. The hive one in the cosmodrome can be run pretty quick, even on 1330. Like we are talking sub 3 minutes. Thats essentially handing people exotics and masterwork cores....
