This post is focused on providing feedback for the Husk of the Pit's chance to drop, and my feedback is that the chances are terribly low. I think I speak for everyone in saying that an increase in the Husk's chance to drop will improve players' Destiny experience.
The whereabouts of the Husk is a constant question on the #help forums. Each day, a player asks if the Husk still drops. Each day, a player asks what does he or she need to do to obtain this ultra-rare auto rifle. If you raise the weapon's chance to drop, those questions will diminish greatly. Let us not forget that the Husk is just the beginning of the journey to the Necrochasm, which also requires players to achieve rank 3 with Eris Morn, grind hundreds of Hive kills, and obtain another rare item, the Crux of Crota.
Think of the Husk just like the treasure keys. When the treasure keys wouldn't drop in the Ether chests, people flooded the forums with posts. In response, the chance of getting a key was increased, and keys were provided through other means, i.e. Petra's bounties, on a consistent basis. These posts concerned with treasure keys are gone, and players are mostly content.
Farming the Husk is just as similar, you go back and forth to the same area over and over hoping for something to drop. Most of time, it doesn't. I'm not asking for a guaranteed Husk from killing the Blade, but I do think that there needs to be a change. Furthermore, it is disruptive because the Husk currently drops in one mission from only one enemy.
As a player who has killed over 2000 Blades of Crota in over 40 hours (and there are many more similar to me), I think it's completely legitimate to ask for an increase.
Nota Bene: I understand that the general consensus is that the Necrochasm is a low-end auto rifle. Nevertheless, I, along with many others, want to obtain the Husk, and by extension the Necrochasm, in order to complete my collection and satisfy the Grimoire card's requirement.
IN SHORT: The chance for Husk of the Pit to drop is extremely low. It is disrupting many players' Destiny experience. I, along with many others, have spent dozens of hours replaying the Fist of Crota. The chance that it drops needs to be increased.
Edit #1: Please voice your feedback on the Husk and share how many Blades you killed either when you got the Husk or as you still farm for it.
Edit #2: Edited title. Updated kill and time figures.

2 RespuestasI have got 475 kills and no Husk. For people wandering; you can check the number of kills on the blade grimmoire card. Also, if you want to speed up the farming a bit, you can speed up the spawn. When you are running back after you kill yourself and you come to the room where hè spawns, run in between the left house and the tree. Then run into the wall en keep wallhugging to the end of the corner. This will trigger the spawn and saves you running up the stairs and enables you to kill the acolytes and all the thralls before hè spawns. PM me if you want a clip.

Just in case anyone doesn't know about the quicker way to farming for the Husk: You can save a lot of time going back to orbit if you do the following. Start the Fist of Crota mission. After you kill the Knight, race through until you get the restricted respawn area then die immediately. After you start over run back to the outside where Omnigul is then turn back around. The blade knight should be there again and you save 5 minutes of loading time. Up the drop rate for the Crux too while you're at it. 30 hard completions and still nada.
-
It would certainly be nice if the rumored drop rate of 1% could be increased. After all the Crux is also still dropping from Crota. Don't know how many blade runs I have, should be around 300 now.
-
Day 5 of farming, still nothing. Ah...
-
Omg fustration is mounting. 4 days of farming, still no drop. What is going on Bungie?
-
Necrocasm is about to be ultra op. Which means...Nunya is about to be exotic! Keep husk drop extinct. Time for Nunya to have fun and tease people with his god like gun!

Post about the Husk with a lot of activity: [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/138833816/0/0[/url] I don't agree with the Husk of the Pit dropping based on some sort of condition, but there are some interesting points to check out.

Editado por Athenacas: 7/14/2015 9:48:14 PMA lot of posters are asking why I want the Husk and it's final state Necrochasm. I mention why in my Nota Bene near the end of the post, but I'll add it here too. Essentially, it is a trophy gun. As a collector, I want it. I also want to experience the quest associated with Necrochasm. I rarely use Thorn or Super Good Advice, but I really enjoyed doing the bounty and having a gun to remember the effort. Necrochasm is the same. I want to play everything Destiny has to offer.

Damn dude bungie -blam!-ed you bad not fair. The gun sucks dick too

I LoLed @ 2000 kills
