These lost sector drop rates are still AWFUL.

Did roughly 4 hours of legend lost sectors today, averaging about 5-6 minutes per run. This is still a massively unrewarding portion of the game. It still feels like exotics are on a 1/10 drop chance. They should definitely be like 30% on legend. Also, you NEED to add some type of pity protection. Going almost 90 minutes without an exotic feels downright AWFUL. I'd say anything after like 4 runs with no exotic drop guarantees it on the 5th. It's already bad enough to have a 1/8 chance (at best!) of even getting the exotic you want better stats in. Alternatively allowing us a way to focus the exotic drops from lost sectors into specific armor pieces would be WAY better. That way you could just farm [i]any[/i] day on [i]any[/i] lost sector and be grinding towards the exotic you want. I could totally see the argument against that being would just wait for the good sectors though, even though that's already what happens. I don't know how feasible any of this is, or how quickly it can come, but something needs to be done.

    This nonsense bugs me, first time I did lost sectors after coming back from.. god I think it was forsaken? I hit the jackpot, every other run was an exotic, it was perfect. It was all the stuff I already had too but I needed new versions, great beginner/mid level activity to get all those class build up and running. Now, I don’t know what it is, my play time is higher since or I’ve earnt my quota or something?I get nothing. Really, REALLY don’t like that rewards are linked to some shifty back door shenanigans.

  • Complete 5 master lost sectors, 0 exotic arms. Very disappointed.

  • I used my 1789 Hunter on the 1830 Legend lost sector, trying to get the new helmet. In 7-8 runs, no exotic. That was all I had time for. Aphelion's Rest is pretty much the easiest Legend, as it's literally just a short hallway with a pile of ads. But with limited time to play, and the increased drop rate, I was hoping I would get it. I still need the Titan's helmet too. I probably will get stuck with one that will be impossible to farm with my poor low level Hunter, like the Thrilladrome.

    • I can’t side with the crowd that finds the LS too difficult, but I agree that the drops rates are horrible. IMO they should either adjust the drop rates or make it possible to focus what exotic will drop. When you have 10 helmets in the pool & get 1 to drop every 10 clears or so - that sucks!!!

    • The drop rate is abysmal. I’m starting to real hate this company they can’t get anything right. I’ve run this legend lost sector like 20 time and not 1 exotic

    • Not only that, but the Unstops are not stunning properly either.

      • It's also unfair because the exotics can still drop at 57-59 stat rolls. I was farming legend but since I'm not very good it was taking roughly 10 minutes a run. When I finally did get a drop, it wasn't even the one I wanted and it dropped at a 58. I was so frustrated I turned off the game. This is not okay Bungie. Also unstop scout is terrible. Between them not stunning properly, and waiting down sights for the shot to proc it's just.. not good.

      • Did 5 master lost sectors and one legend. Zero exotics. Bungie is all talk and zero action. Hey guys we buffed lost sector drops 😂🤣. Bungie pumps it up half a percent and calls it a day.

      • Once I get the new exotics from a lost sector, I'm not going back to farm. It isn't just the lack of an Exotic drop that's an issue. The whole thing is unrewarding. And Master level drops aren't any better than Legendary drops from my experience. Increase exotic drops and add other high level world armor drops.

      • Honestly, when I see "we have increased exotic drop rates in 'insert name of activity', I only see it as a 0.001% to 0.005% increase. Because it sure as hell doesn't feel like anything got increased.

      • Done just over 10 lost sectors today looking for the new helmet for my hunter. Zero drops. Not even one. But hey could be worse. I could be farming for a specific piece with a certain stat disposition for just one of my builds...

      • Be rewarded for something that bungie made harder to access for 80% of the player base? That's going too far. Might as well ask them to fix the higher frame rate= more damage taken increase bug. How could you, that's like asking to fix world hunger or cure cancer.
