Many may not know this yet, but adept weapons only drop from the Expert variant, and not only that, but they can only drop when you reach 13 challengers defeated. Now, i have just spent about 2 hours trying to farm for these weapons, and my team was anything but incompetent, using only the best loadouts possible. Yet, we never once reached the 13th challenger. The closest we got was 12, and that was when we completely ran out of time.
addendum: After managing to get a group of absolutely perfect guardians together, we managed to complete 7 expert runs with 13 challengers killed. However, most of us did not receive a SINGLE adept weapon after these runs. With it being comparable to contest levels of speed you need to complete it, i kind of figured you were guaranteed an adept after a 13 kill run. Color me shocked.

Not true, I have been farming them solo , just let the timer run out , kill the first push over boss , collect Adept weapon , repeat -
They def drop before 13 combatants defeated. Still are awful drop rates though.

You can get an adept from lower than a 13 challenger run, I’ve seen people get them. From my short time playing, drop rates seem similarly bad to The Nether with even more effort. They definitely need to buff adept drop rate to be guaranteed one from the end chest in Court after reaching Gold and one from each area chest in Nether. Adepts should also come with Runneth Over even if not shiny. That’s my main problem: the shiny is a nice flex but they are also objectively better than the base ones since they have access to Runneth Over. It’d be one thing if they were rare for the sake of being rare (like Onslaught’s shinies) but they’re also a major upgrade for some weapons and, at worst, a sidegrade.

27 RepliesIn short, do not play it, the less people do this absurd grind the more bungie will see that we DO NOT want it, it's already bad enough normal mode is just a clownshow of never having to stop moving, nonstop enemies, taken boopers on walls etc, favourite ones is having 4+ Ultra/boss shriekers spawn because apparently bungie thought that would be super duper mega fun to try and shoot at while you get lit up by literally everything else around you Act 2 is a dud in terms of activity and combat, story-wise.. Oh man it's pretty great

Went in for the 1st time last night and I wholeheartedly do not like it. Spent most of my time trying to figure it out on the fly. Wasn’t hard. Just not fun and constantly on the run. Still haven’t figured out the circles you stand in between rounds and statues holding the orbs. Guess I’ll be Googling later

I got an Adept Glaive from it last night. I only beat one boss because I was just trying to get the Barrow Dyad Catalyst.

Wrong they have a chance to drop drone a bronze completion and that’s only four bosses. I can solo that much for a chance without other people.

i’ve received a few solo, but they’re terrible rolls. Completing it I got zero but farming the easy one I got a few but that’s after hours
