Double vesper drops means nothing if I keep getting armor

I've been off and on on grinding the second encounter for a good auto and I already get more armor than anything else. This week felt like a good week for it since its double drops. All im getting is a fusion I never wanted in the first place and armor out the WAZZOO I had multiple runs where 2 helmets were the only thing that drops. Why cant the armor just be tied to a one and done quest, its not like I can focus high stat armor with the echo seasonal engrams and transmog them later.

    Can confirm after running the first encounter 7-8 times I have like 4 weapons and 12 armor pieces. Edit : By the way a few weeks ago on single drops I had around 7/10 runs drop weapons for comparison now every 1 in 4 drops weapons I actually got less weapons than with single drops. They did this on purpose for first encounter, my teammates also mainly got armor even more than me.

  • “We hear you. We’re going to make armor more meaningful in Frontiers.” For real tho. I am playing for the weapons. But they have diluted the loot pool with trash rolled armor. I am looking for one or two rolls on these weapons. The odds that I get what I am pursuing are ridiculously low. 1/36 chance, and that’s if I even get that weapon to drop. So I’m deleting everything that drops. And I’m getting more frustrated than anything. I understand they want people to grind the game. But it’s burning me out because it is so unrewarding and now I don’t want to play at all. Like come on man. Let me specify what I do and don’t want in my loot pool. Make me pick at least 2 things in an encounter that has 6 pieces of loot. That’s fine. But it’s been a decade and I still have to rely on an unrewarding, disrespectful RNG reward system. It feels terrible.

  • Yeah. Not even double drops with a boss cheese gets me interested in doing this tedious designed mess.

  • The way loot is handled in dungeons is a big reason why I just gave up on grinding for even 2/5 rolls on dungeon guns. You have a 16.7% chance of getting the auto at all and then a 2.8% chance of getting the roll you want. God help you if you want specific barrels/mags/masterworks. This is not fun, I'm not encouraged to keep playing to chase the roll. I'm encouraged to give up and find something else to do.

    • Not sure if it’s just me but first encounter I’ve gotten just legs and gauntlets the last 5-6 clears, think it’s bugged for me. Then for final boss I’ve gotten a ton of the Heavy GLs but it’s not in the loot pool for that encounter?? I haven’t gotten one energy GL that makes the pools and I’ve done boss like 5-6 times already, utterly insane.

      • I always got guns in Vespers, 80-90% of drops If I (and I haven’t yet) start farming it now, and mainly get double armor drops that’d be a tell to me that Bungie did this intentionally. I do hope it’s just RNG. I do hope that, and I hope you’re just unlucky for everyones sake. No offense.
