I've done lots of runs on expert nether and have yet to even receive 1 adept shiny of any weapon. I've had plenty of adepts most not worth anything but the adept shinys are pretty much non existent

15 RepliesRan two expert nether back to back, killed every champion, opened every chest but not one fkin adept let alone a shiny one. Games is utter fkin dogwater sometimes.

2 RepliesEdited by amazing_month041: 3/19/2025 11:52:26 AMIm at 55 full expert nether run which is 165 boss chest opened and not a single shiny adept So if everything functions normally and every boss chest has a chance to get shiny adept ( i know it's Bungie ) then i had 0.03% chance to get a shiny adept and even if only the 3rd boss has a chance to drop shiny adepts that's still 0.09%

Nah its not just shiny, its all adepts have been nerfed along with being weighted. I have run nothing but nether and court since they came out, a few dungeons and GMs but 95% just those all on master. I had to delete adepts the 1st 2 weeks as I was out of room. Since I can count them on one hand. Also what drops is weighted....I did rough counting when i went on a mass delete today and see below. Adepts 20+ auto rifles 20+ nade launchers 15 machine guns 10 linears 1 Mirror Imago 3 Bows 3 Sidearms 1 Fusion 2 Glaives I have been only looking for adept SMG's and only 1 single drop has happened and that was 1st day. The stupid focus crap drops only normal versions. This is from well over 100 runs

1 ReplyThey were ok at the beginning of the season. Was able to get a shiny ever other full run. Now, ill be lucky to get one in a 2 hr session. They for sure drop the drop rate a lot.

I’m waiting for the Bungie bootlickers to say “nahh the drop rate is fine it’s suppose to be rare”. 🤡

1 ReplyDon't worry. The drop rate will increase near the end of act 3. So you can continue with frontier. Fomo, drip feed and drop rate control are indeed getting old. Bungie need to replace them with something more engaging rather than just player numbers engagement metrics.

4 Repliesshiny yeah, adepts who cares

...ok hear me out...we should be able to craft more...then we don't need to adjust drop rate just have the red borders be the rare drop and then craft it that way you can farm the gambling machine and still get the gun you want sometime this year before they nerf the perks and remove the artifacts mods that artificially make the season guns worth using...

I ran a bunch the other week. I'm convinced they don't exist. I just quit bothering.

3 RepliesThe drop rate of both adepts and shinies is abyssmal. Whats even the point of finishing an expert run when I'll be better off farming the first boss?
-
I think ive ran maybe 7 or 8 of the expert versions and have had one drop and it was pure rubbish anyway with single perks

Was trying to get a flash counter sword…. One finally dropped as an adept yesterday….

got one on my 3rd run ever

I don't mind shiny adepts being rare, but you really should be guaranteed at least 1 adept on a full Nether run and 1-2 adepts on 13 COB bosses. The way I see it as to why shinies should be rare is really just because you're only ever going to use 1-3 rolls on any weapon. Take the bow for example. Why use Runneth Over, which requires you to be near teammates for faster draw time, over Willing Vessel, which just requires hits? As for the rolls? More than likely it will be: Dragonfly/ Destabilizing Rounds Dragonfly/ damage perk Archer's Tempo/ damage perk Or Archer's Tempo/ Destabilizing Rounds Those are probably the only 4 types you're ever going to use. The most a shiny will do under almost every circumstance is save space. Or the AR for another example. You're going for Reciprocity/ Circle of Life. Any other good roll like Slice/ Tear, Subsistence/ Frenzy, or Slice/ Hatchling, it would make more sense to use literally any other weapon with those perks, especially ones that are actually meant to do damage.
