Does anyone know how to get this exotic? Simply want it for the looks, yet unsure if it's a random drop or can be found at Xur's? Thanks.

It's a vanilla D2 world drop exotic. Can be obtained through random drops or from Xur and doesn't require any DLC. The easiest way to get one would be to run master lost sectors on a day that it's dropping head armour.

The legend lost sector is dropping head armour today but the drop rate is much better from master.

Thanks for the thorough answer. It seems like master lost sector will drop helmets tomorrow, neat.

There is a way to get master loot without doing master. Do legend lost sector with full engrams and when you decode it at postmaster it will decode into the piece that drops from master lost sectors.

I think I'm missing the point here. Would you do this so that the item drops in the slot that the master lost sector is dropping, instead of the slot that the legend lost sector is dropping? There's no difference in the actual gear that drops, so that's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Doesn't really seem worthwhile given that the drop rate is so much worse in legend lost sectors. You're better off just doing master. Even if it's taking you twice as long to get through the the master sectors due to difficulty, the drops to time spent ratio will be much better.

It's still rng. You can run 10 legends and get 8 exotics or run 15 masters and get 4.

[MOSLEY]

You can but you're unlikely to. You will usually get at least twice as many drops from master.

It's all RNG of course but you can't really reverse engineer it like that - Master RNG is 'better' so it's the better choice if you can handle it.
To put it into perspective, sure some people will 'run 10 legends and get 8 exotics or run 15 masters and get 4', but those people will be the minority, while the majority of people will be getting more Exotics from Master.

So if an Exotic drops from a Lost Sector, and goes to the postmaster as an engram, it will decrypt as if it came from the currently active Master lost sector. Doesn't matter how long you take to decrypt it, doesn't matter if it came from Legend or Master. If you decrypt it on Master Arms day, it will be an Arms exotic.

Sure, may as well do it on Master? But not everyone can handle Master (should try though!), so it is a possibility. You could even stockpile engrams in Master on one day and decrypt them when the preferred slot comes round.

However as I'm sure a lot of people noticed, if you get an engram from the lost sector chest due to having a full engram inventory, chances are it's a bugged enhancement core and not a real exotic, so that's also something to keep in mind.

It's easy to spot. Instead of exotic engram it says *encrypted engram*

I guess this could be useful. Surely you'd need to stockpile a dangerous number of engrams to be in with a chance of getting something that you want and also getting a decent stat distribution on it though. I'd be worried about losing items in the postmaster.

It all comes down to rng again. You can get a god roll armor you want on the first or on the 50th engram. I ran a ton of legen lost sectors that were legs and got 3 lunafactions. Ran 10 more stockpiling about 6 engrams *it was legs for master that day* and got 4 more lunafactions and 2 dawnblade legs that create rifts on hit. I just want geomags ffs.

I got it my first week of playing, can't remember random drop chest or prime engram but I know i was or obtained it in cosmodome doubt area makes any difference though, because of the rng loot system. (after some deeper thought) Think (95% sure) it was a random drop though, I kept it and use it for my void armor setup. I had very nice luck my 1st week of playing, a majority my exotics I gained in 1 week of time, but i did play alot had something like 22K kills in 7 days lmao 90% of them was from cosmodrome (the area where those knights witches cyclops spawn in mass). I can't stand even playing there anymore burnt myself out on cosmodome. Anyways, take care and happy exotic hunting.
