Hello Guardians,
I'm trying to figure out my best chance to get the Darkblade Helmet. I want to see if anyone has had any luck getting it to drop from the regular lvl 36 Sunless Cell (the one you can load straight from the Director by going to the Dreadnaught). I've done this strike about 15 times back to back, with two legendary drops (none being the helmet, unfortunately). I've seen some people say they've gotten it from that. I've heard some say it won't drop there and you either have to do the lvl 36 Vanguard Strike Playlist and hope for Sunless Cell, then hope it drops there (same story for trying to get it in the Vanguard Heroic Strike Playlist). Unfortunately, time to play is limited for me, especially during the week, so trying to randomly land on the strike in a playlist isn't super feasible. Can anyone confirm that they have gotten this to drop from the normal lvl 36 strike that you can choose to go into over and over again? If so, I'll just keep grinding that and praying to RNGesus. If not, I guess I'll suck it up and keep going in and out of Vanguard Heroics until I hit the Sunless Cell, and then do more praying to Gesus...
(disclaimer: I know a lot of people think this helmet is ugly. That's great and I value your opinion, but I personally love it, so help a brother out? without flooding the page with how awful you think this thing is?)
Thanks in advance for your time!

1 Replyit'll drop from ANY level of that strike, but the harder it gets the higher your chances.... keep in mind the strike also drops the Darkblade Spite fusion rifle and you only get one or the other.... when it comes around as the Nightfall, grab 2 willing friends and grind that strike

1 ReplyI got one from nightfall a few weeks ago. I don't like it, but I would give it to you if I could

1 ReplyYou have to be the one to crit damage his helmet off to stand any chance of getting it.

I got a few from the nightfall I haven't seen it drop from the vanguard weekly playlist yet
-
you can get it at any level but nightfall drops are higher

It's nothing more than a random drop. Strike exclusives have a higher chance to drop from harder difficulties, so heroic will be the best option outside of nightfall (whenever the strike is nightfall again)

Yes you can. You can get boss loot at any level, however the more difficult the strike level the better the chances are for you. night fall > heroic > regular strike.
