62 iron banner packages....

Not one helmet. I understand they're changing the system but that's no excuse for the "rng" in place. The odds of that happening are impossibly low. Jokes on me for thinking I could beat it.

  • Depends on how many items are in the loot pool. If there's say, 25 items, then your chance of getting that 1 after 92 attempts is 97.6%. But seemingly everything was in the loot pool, with probably IB gear weighted slightly higher. So no telling. But it's still BS that after maxing you chances this season you didn't get it. Hopefully it's available as a random drop in the next IB.

    • 92 packages across both Iron Banners to get everything, all weapons and armour. I feel a mixture of self loathing and relief.

      • Just not lucky I guess. Got full armor for all three in just over 40 packages. Didn't keep it all as don't like the look of some armor. How I did it was everyday did challenges and got token bundles on all 3, but saved them and turned in tokens with one character. So I'd have over 100 tokens in inventory and turn them in consecutively with the character that I wanted armor, got what I needed each time.

        • It was a helmet week, you could have bought it from Saladin directly

          • Am I lucky that I got every armor piece (except the chest) in only eleven packages?

            • Someone ran the probability numbers once based on 88 packages, and actually came up with .002% probability that you would receive any specific item.

                • I got a total of 20 Iron Banner pieces but only 3 unique items. 7 chest pieces and no other armor and 9 IB SideArms and 4 fusion rifles. This game was promoted by Luke Smith as a collectors game but we are unable to collect ANYTHING due to the crap loot system. Bungie, I know you like sticking it to us but for future IB's it would be great if we could purchase the items. You can make us wait until the last day, charge a ton of tokens, etc.... Just give us the option so those of us who still care can obtain complete seasonal gear.

                  • Heh, same with the stupid bright engrams. After more than 50 of the things, still no salty emote. This rng based reward bull is getting tired.

                    • RNG is a cruel mistress. I worked SO HARD to try and get the full armour set for my Hunter but, alas, it was not to be. I only managed to get a Cloak, Boots and Helmet. Hopefully, by next Iron Banana, I will be able to get the full set. *fingers crossed*

                      • That’s terrible. It took over 30 packages for me to get a full set, but 60 is absurd.

                        • You can have my helmets I've gotten for 2 days straight! Every milestone was a helmet when I got a piece of armor....even the 2 raid challenge chest last night was 2 helms of the same thing! The RNG in this game is lackluster... Kind Regards, Eziel

                          • They really need to go back to the IB formula that worked in D1, let us see what we'd be grinding for and be done with it. This token bullshit with absolutely no idea what we'll get is for the birds. Stop the insanity Bungie. Oh, I forgot, you don't read anything anybody posts on this forum. Dummie me!!

                                  • RNGesus favored me with a helmet on my 51st engram, and the only weapon I didn't have on the 52nd. You too can have everything you desire, if you persevere and believe in RNGesus!

                                    • I'm extremely doubtful it's even RNG at this point. I'm practically certain Bungie holds back gear that they think you'd want until you leave for an extended period, at which point they award you something new. So, in other words, they punish you for playing often.

                                      • I just dont see why they put a random roll in with it. Its a IB package, should only have IB gear. smh
