Dares of eternity red borders are ridiculous

Really, been farming for a few weeks now and I just can't get M5's or BXR's. I completed both swords though... the problem is the game keeps giving me ONLY sword red borders. This is really stupid... the amount of RNG to get these is absurd. There should be some protection on getting red borders for weapons you already crafted on a playlist, at least until you have everything crafted. People are deleting their characters to get these done! If that's not a sign you messed this system up, I don't know what is.

  • By the time you get enough red border guns for weapon crafting, you will already have several god roles for it

      Yep. I’ve gotten about twice as many BxR and Half Truths as needed, and three Other Halfs. Meanwhile, just got my third Retraced Path last night. Still need one Parson Our Dust too. I’m so burnt out on Dares though. It’s incredibly inconsistent. They are letting RNG get unreasonable again. Between red border drops, raid exotics, and playlist/world drop accessibility, it just makes me not really want to play. I feel like there are a lot of things that I want to go for but that I have no reasonable means in which to pursue them, or I literally can’t because of weekly lockout.

    • I’m sure they’re secretly weighted differently for drops, just like maps are. You know Bungie is shady and will do anything for “player engagement,” which translates to “hopefully they visit the eververse store.”

      • 3 other half (the supposedly rarest one) and the only other one I can shape is the trace rifle. This game has been screaming for bad luck protection for a while.

        • There is a cheese to "focus" farm the bxr. If you have a character that hasn't started the intro quest for dares start it on him. When you get to the second step abandon the quest. The only weapon that will drop from the chest in the hoard is bxr. Got all 5 frames in one night. But odds are you farmed dares to death on all three characters, if so disregard this post.

          • Why? Only took me 137 runs to get the shotgun pattern, including box keys :) Sounds fun, rewarding and fair to me :)

          • I just got the last bxr red border to drop. And I was thinking about how I couldn't come up with any possible reason to play control until now and if that mode is going to be dumb then it should have a suite of craftable weapons for people to pursue while they're pretending to play it. Now I have a reason to play control even though the bxr is a ghost bullet machine in that mode for me.🥴

          • Eh, I kinda feel you Guardian. My problem is not the number of Red Border Weapons I find, but the fact that I keep finding those of Weapons I've already completed... I've been blocked with 4/5 Battler for a couple of weeks now =/ meanwhile I still get Red Border Shotguns even if I've already completed it. I've reached rank 14 of Xur [i](I believe?)[/i] and I still have to complete the Battler. I'm pretty much done with this and probably I'm gonna give up at this point waiting to see if Bungie is going to increase the drop chance for Red Borders we still haven't completed or something =/

              Battler will always drop if you have a character that never did the dares quest line. step 2 of the quest should be abandoned and then that character will only get battler from the chest

            • I know people are having bad luck but I wonder if they are doing it the most efficiently? I think I have all the dares weapons now. I did get really lucky at the beginning and got 3 bxr in one sitting after turning saved up keys from last season ( like 30) The way I got everything was by doing strange coin bounties on the high lvl one then opening the hauls, get keys and coins, buy the next bounty, do another run and repeat. In an hour you can literally have 20-30 keys on one character. Or you can delete a character but I wouldn’t do that

              • 140 legend runs. Over 15 red wastelanders, and tho other half’s. But only 4 bxrs. The rng is trash.

                • About a hundred treasure keys in this season and zero red border BXR or M5s. I've gotten The Other Half about 3 times. The whole experience is awful from blind farming to leveling. The only reason crafted BXR is showing up so often everywhere is because a crapload of players with smurf characters were able to take advantage of the Xur quest exploit. As someone who farmed the crap out of Dares last year for the Forerunner catalyst, I'm pretty burned out with this game mode and don't feel like veteran players' time has been respected very much towards building these crafted versions. The fact that strange coins aren't connected with activity completions outside of Dares is compounding this issue quite a bit as well - you have to work a lot harder for this stuff than you used to on top of being subject to low RNG upon low RNG. We definitely need a better solve for this, whether that's targeted unlocks from Xur or something else.

                  • I grinded for 10 days roughly. I did the 3 lowest tier bounties from starhorse for the paraversal hauls for more keys on each character every day. I got them all done. Roughly 20 keys each day plus the random drops from the taken ogre near the end, lightning rounds, and rank up packages from xur. It got real old, real quick... especially when i got the shotgun done first and then the next 7 red boarders were the shotgun. To run through the bounties on each character took about 2.5 hours. I am so glad i dont have to grind that anymore

                      I grinded 2 resets of Xur this season. By 155 runs I had every pattern. Realistically I had every pattern around 110... except Other Half. My last 2 otheriwse were BXR and Retracted Path... and Retraced Path needed 2 at the end. It is kind of nuts... buckle in because its alot of Dares.

                      • Make a new character have a bunch of keys in inventory do the introduction to dares quest and everytime you open treasure chest with a key you apparently get a red border bxr rifle everytime
