The drop rates fir legendary lost sectors are terrible.

Title. They need to be adjusted, activities hard enough and to not get anything that hurts. This needs to be tweaked or atleast reduced level because these aren't farmable for a casual player.

  • Lost Sectors just aren’t that good. I did 57 Master Lost Sectors last season with 4 minute average runs and I only got the exotic I wanted(Raiju’s Harness)once. This was for Hunter chests which is a slot that doesn’t have many exotics in it. Lost Sectors are only good unless you can get them down in 5 minutes.

    I did perdition lost sector when it was legendary for the titan chest piece. Took 6 minutes and got it first time. Last season with the helmet and gauntlets I think I got the helmet in 5 runs and the gauntlets in 3. Sometimes rng just sucks for people and blesses other people. If you are struggling with a particular lost sector wait for another one to come up. Some are easier than others. Perdition and the bunker on Europa are probably 2 of the easiest.

  • I got all the exotics from lost sectors within 2-3 runs each the runs were about 11 mins either you got bad luck or I got good luck

  • I think its fine except the drop rate should in master should be doubled. Either that or allow exotics to drop in master when in a fireteam. Doing master is currently a waste of time.

You shouldn’t get the same amount of loot for doing a 2-7 minute lost sector as you would doing a 15 minute nightfall with a team. You don’t get rewarded for being solo. You get a way to get these exotics solo, but not equal to running with a fireteam. In addition, the lost sectors removed 75% Slot RNG by targeting a specific slot, something nightfalls don’t do. There’s not point in grouping into a fireteam and doing nightfalls if it’s just as lucrative to run solo.

  • I hear you. Players may have a different opinion on timers after they mysteriously die opening the chest with 7 revives still and 1505 on the timer.... Oh wait, Zero revives, you fail, incomplete, back to orbit. I find the lost sectors to be a beyond tedious, laggy, and inconsistent mechanic filled mess. They are sometimes so easy with enemies taking damage and champion mechanics working. Other times nothing seems to work and they are impossible. Either way I find them ZERO FUN on console. Play Bungie's predefined limited way, with a limited set of weapons and armor setup, all for a reward that should really be an open world drop. If you want to run these activities as a source to get better roles...OK, be my guest. They should not be the only source for the exotic. Bungie has loot backwards...Kind of like Raids (or Trials). Anyone that can do them doesn't need the exotic, or the mod, or the adept weapon... Great if that is the best source but it should not be the only one. Not everyone finds these easy. They play all season to get high enough to have a chance to complete in the last 2 weeks ... only to start over grinding if they fail. When they finally get that exotic... half the time it is nerfed because players that didn't need them used them to "break the game". I say: "Break it for who?" Not the majority of players. Bungie's approach actually limits players from experiencing content. It discourages engagement. The RNG sucks in typical Bungie fashion I got three items my first run...after a 3 week break. My first one was on my 5th successful run after trying all week. Whether I was flawless or barely finished. No rhyme or reason with runs on Legend and Master. 2 pieces at 62 stats, the rest garbage. Why waste hours trying, when you finally finish it and get a blue drop under level? Yes, I have them all (except last season Titan) I will get them this week but to me - NOT FUN.

  • The harder difficulty has better drop rates. Try that.

    • Well guess I had luck got the exotics each lastest after the second try. But by the way does anybody know if it makes sense after an exotic drop to go in directly again or is there still some hidden timer which protects Exos from dropping in a short Period of Time like it was in D1?

      Ive only done the legendaries twice. Im 1 for 2 with a drop of the overshield titans arms. I dont find myself doing them again solo because it's boring. I dont feel like grinding a grind in a grind wrapped in a grind covered in a grind, while giving birth to a grind.

      • Agreed. Why would a developer want their game to become tedious and boring?

        • I haven't found a loadout that I like this season. Last season I was ripping through them pretty quickly. Overall I find them pretty annoying solo with this artifact. The champions teleport and heal too much. God forbid you to have to reload or pop in cover. Also, why have a timmer?

          • I got all all 3 in 5 runs. It took about 45 minutes, and all my friends and clanmates reported similar rates. Weird

            • Yeah I’ve completed quite a few runs in the master K1 Logistics today and my bungie activity and Destiny tracker says they’re legend. Lost sectors seem to be busted rn. When Beyond Light launched Master seemed to be dropping every other run sometimes back to back. Legends were kind of the same sometimes you get lucky with back 2 back drops then you’d be on a dry spell for 7. Right now it feels like nothing is dropping.

            • I'm far from the most dedicated player, I don't think the drops are stingy at all. I did some 20 runs for Athrys, some 35 for Bakris, and did like 4 for Omnioculus. They're a lot easier once you're at light, and thus got a lot faster. After that first run of figuring out a strategy, they're far from difficult. The issue isn't getting the exotic, the issue is getting the exotic with a good stat roll.

                • The drop rates are probably tied to how many times you run them. I got the new warlock chest armor to drop. But only after five runs of getting nothing but the Europa currency from the chest. The next run gave me an enhancement core with the currency. The run after that gave me two cores plus the Telesto catalyst. The eighth run finally gave me the exotic armor. The runs get easier as you go up in level, and you get a sense of where to fight from. I was 1310, and was averaging about 9 minutes per run in E15.

                  • One you get to 1300+ they become way easier. Drop protect would be nice though. Got falling start around my 5-8 run.

                  • The difficulty is 100% fine and is actually really easy IF your the appropriate level. Doing it 20 levels under is obviously going to be harder then normal mate. There’s no rush, you’ve got two months left in the season to level and farm it. I myself got them in week one while I was 29 levels under, much bigger pain let me tell you. If might just be a problem with your load out, Sniper/Bow/Rocket is the best load out to complete these by far imo. Swap out either one of unstoppable champions for a hand cannon and your golden.

                    Yes, On my second character a warlock, after getting falling star on my titan, I had three runs complete and diminishing returns with two cores the first reward... reward for third completion? Glimmer.
