Legendry lost sector's on legend have too low a drop rate

I'm not asking the drop rate to be 100% every time I just think it would be fairer to be a 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 chance

    Just a little comment: Lately I did about 15 Legendary Lost Sectors and 3 Master ones and I got zero exotics. For some Legendary I used about 5+ minutes, for Master around 10+ minutes (all bosses and mobs killed). In a couple of them I had like 0 deaths. In the past it has been more like 1 in 4 drop rate for me. This is the first time ever drop rate has been this bad. So for me at least, it seems to have changed, or perhaps I am just currently jinxed ;) For now, I will take a little break from those sectors and perhaps try again 2morrow ;)

  • It's performance based imo. Be fast, don't die, get platinum. Got all these chests today for all characters in about 25 runs, drop rate is like 1 in 3 or 4

    • [quote]I'm not asking the drop rate to be 100% every time I just think it would be fairer to be a 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 chance[/quote] The drop rate has been measured to be 25% for legend, which is 1 in 4. Considering some lost sectors take a minute to complete, that’s pretty good for getting an exotic.

    • Last couple seasons they've been dropping first try for me, and i play on legend. I would say try completing them within 10 minutes with platinum score, kill all champions etc. Works for me.

        Yesterday, I did the chest legend lost sector nine times. No drop. On the tenth one, I did it on Master. Voilah! Omnioculus chest piece! Today, I did the lost sector to get the Titan Loreley helmet. I did it once on Legend and then 3 on Master. I got one exotic on my first master completion and the Loreley on the 3rd master completion. I'm thinking that there's no other way to do it but on Master difficulty. They're not that difficult. I thought they would be, but I was surprised that it was easier than I expected. Good luck buddy. I hope RNGesus graces you with a lot more luck!

        • They take minutes. Some take a few minutes extra but if you're taking longer than ten to do any legend lost sector, well, you have bigger issues.

          • Nah just make sure you have unlocked the latest piece of armor from the current season/expansion… If i do 10 lost sectors, don’t die and fast i get like 5 out 10 ones a drop on average… I too was grinding for arms on my Warlock and couldn’t get one drop after 15 runs! I still needed the legs from this season, and after i got that i got a lot drops the day after i grinded for the arms…

            • So many wack -blam!- players in here defending this system lmao. The in game explanation of the drop rate is: [i]exotic: uncommon (IF SOLO)[/i] that's it. No indication about champion kills, or speed, or number of deaths effecting the drop rates. Any details we do have are from random people just doing their own research, which is helpful, but it's not anything like an actual breakdown of how the drop rates work. Not to mention that the non exotic rewards are awful. Some glimmer, planetary materials, and maybe and enhancement core. What is that?? I barely touch them unless I need to for a new exotic.

                I mean if you get a platinum run you should be guaranteed a drop that’s how it should work. Same for how GMs work for the weapon on rotation. With also allowing focusing at the end to choose what exotic you get that is not one you have yet to unlock. That way I’d farm one eyed mask till I get higher stats on one that is better than the one I have now.

              • Some guy ran like a thousand & found that there is around a 1 in 4 chance of getting an exotic already

              • It's no better on Master. You're actually better off grinding Legend; at least you're more likely to get [i]something[/i] than nothing. Imagine spending close to 20 minutes on a lost sector, only to get fúck all after completion.

              • What about master? I find it aggravating that I have to waste 7-12 mins every LS where the champs will bug out and find out towards the end that the only reward I get is enhancement cores, shards or glimmer.

                • Legend drop rate is 25% Master is 30-32% With bad luck it can take 30 or 50 runs to not get anything. My record is 37 runs with no drop. Then again, you can have 11 runs and every run drops exotic (has happened to me). Excavation site takes 2-3 minutes (if you are not way underlevel) to run and even the worst lost sectors (moon ones) take under 10 minutes, so it is very generous way to farm exotics in comparison to what we used to have.

                  • I've been running today's Legend, Excavation Site 12 as a few better chest pieces over all my characters would not go amiss and it's a simple 2 to 3 min run. What I noticed was that using a ghost to focus the stat drop does not always work on the exotic and I believe this should not happen. I'm running a Discipline Armourer and managed to get an Ophidia Spathe to drop, 66 points total but WTH only 2 in discipline!!! BS. Switched to my Warlock and dropped a Starfire Protocol with 17 in discipline and resilience so it can work, but it seems not always.

                    • Legendary is a 1 in 4 drop rate. This has been proven. Unless changed recently.

                      • I don’t know what it is but tbh I don’t have issues. Maybe I’m lucky with rng. But Last time i farmed I only needed 5 runs to get this seasons and last seasons warlock legs The only one that took forever was cuirass for titan when it released

                      • I did 50 runs and get 10 exotic titan chest armors…That's 20%. But, we have to farm for god roll. I think this % is very very low.

                          • You ran 2 lost sectors lol. That's like 10 minutes of effort. Try doing more than 2 next time.
