They added Y2 exotics to the game today!

I glitched my way into getting three of them early through something called "exotic engrams." Am I going to get banned?

I already got the trophy for acquiring 10 Forsaken exotics.

I think I'm at 13-14 now.

I just checked, this is what I got so far:
Ace of Spades
Chaperone
Lord of Wolves
Wish-Ender
Malfeasance
Cerberus+1
Black Talon
Queenbreaker
Wavesplitter
Heart of Inmost Light
Ursa Furiosa
Antaeus Wards
Phoenix Protocol

I can't really complain about my rng, I know people who have played way more than I have an have gotten very few exotics. Still really want Trinity Ghoul, Two-Tailed Fox, and Shards of Galinor though.

Grind Heroic Strikes on days you like the modifiers. I've purposely done so since Forsaken dropped just for Catalysts and have gotten Wardcliff, Riskrunner, Prometheus Lens, and Coldheart. I've seen them drop for others too.

Anecdotal but it feels like they're dropping at a good pace. Good luck getting it.

Apparently the Spider weekly powerful bounty has a higher chance of rewarding exotics.

I got two from my ikora milestones others have been from random milestones around the place but the ikora one has netted me the most.

So, uh, anything that has a "powerful reward" including your dailies.

Also on your post before

rodbeard posted:

I suck at crucible so bad. I was at .6 kd and I'm slipping even further because I'm trying to line up headshots for ace of spades.

Don't try to line up headshots with handcannons. The way flinch works in destiny is if you're aiming at someone's head and get shot your cursor moves away from the head. If you're aiming anywhere else it pushes it toward their head.

Aim toward the enemy and time but spam your shots.

Those are Prime engrams from Challenging enemies (anything higher than red bar I think, not just yellow)

no you can get actual exotic engrams from random poo poo. They are yellow and auto decrypt, you don't have to take them back to cryptarch and always give exotics

Yeah, I forgot that's where I got my Inmost chest from.

It will be nice to be 600 for a week before they raise the power level for Black Armory. I assume.
