Does bungie just bottle neck umbral engram drop ?

[Trankhanhduyh]

I been playing for 2 days and only 1 one to drop so i found my self in a funny situation that is i have a bunch of energy to focus from doing main quest for 3 characters but no umbral engram. Does the same happen to you guys or im just really have a really bad luck aura

[THE GARY(The Free K!ll)]

Nope i seem to be swimming in them

[Nakos]

Uh .... no, I get them constantly. Even if I'm just doing ordinary bounties off in a solo Lost sector.

I would say they don't normally drop slower than about one every 30 minutes.

Dang then im in a streak of bad luck then. Just right after they make every vendor drop deepsight each day my umbral gain is just bad but the prime engrams wont keep stopping at least lol

I seem to get more from doing Nightmare Containment than elsewhere, but that might be subjective.

Seriously, just doing any activity in the game will give you Umbral engrams. Run lost sectors, do patrols, do bounties. Do some playlist activities.

The Soul Harvest event on Calus' ship is probably a pretty good source for them, give that a try.

ive been doing a bunch of iron banner lately maybe try that

Well, that's just a week at a time, so it ends when they do weekly maintenance. I think they're doing three per season now, but the next one won't be until S20.

I ran it thrice in a row and got embram only once. Actually not so good. Better than nothing, but far from good.

You mean one end boss kill? Or three?

Regardless (if it was three end boss kills), that's about 30 to 45 minutes tops (depending), getting one Engram for that sounds about right. Do you have the Legacy item from the Crown of Sorrow? That might buff your drop rates slightly. You'd need to own S17 to get that though, and I would NOT recommend you buy the Deluxe Edition of Witch Queen just for that at this point, there's only about 3 weeks left in Year Five at this point.

[Nakos]

Fair enough.

Dunno what to tell you then though. That whole run is (on average) a loot piñata for me. I'm sorry you're not getting stuff, but it's probably just a bad RNG streak.

The one thing I will say though: I tend to keep several Umbrals in my inventory un-decrypted, just so that if I want to buy something from a focusing vendor I can. If I get over 5, I'll just go to Rahool and open whatever's lowest, but other than that, I don't open everything as soon as I get it.

Same as you. I play a lot and I still have engrams up the wazoo. Haven't noticed any difference.

PvP drops them like candy.

If i remember correctly then they run on a timer before you can get another one and crucible matches come pretty close to that timer.

Some of the seasonal activities also have good droprates

I also have the feeling that you get more of them if your inventory is full with engrams.

They have indeed bottlenecked the drops, but only in some activities.

I noticed that Seasonal activity has dropped slim to none, while Iron Banner and other activities did drop them but not like candy.

It must have been a shadownerf to promote Iron Banner, and may return to normal on todays update/reset.

I cant get rid of the stupid things half the time, so many engrams. Run strikes, seasonal activity, dungeons and you'll be swimming in engrams.

The main quest may not give you many, activities give you a ton.
