NF weapon drop Rate

[SpaceGhost]

ill first off stat that i have a learning disorder and autism and have been playing for sometime ( a few months before lightfall anyways), but maybe someone can explain the drop rates of NF weapons because its says its uncommon-common but i seem to always get prisms alot more ( pretty sure ive never actually had a NF weapon drop yet).

[Hi Im Swat]

Uncommon = Very low chance

Common = Good chance, but still not guaranteed

[SpaceGhost]

i get that but if thats the case then prisms ( rare-common ) should be dropping alot less then NF weapons but im getting prisms more

Also, you can get both rewards. The drop rates of each individual item has no impact on other items. You're just having bad luck with the RNG not dropping the current nightfall weapon.

thats completely backwards to what you just said

Prisms are like consolation prizes.

Try using the discord lfg to do GM's and get yourself an adept. A lot of cool people on there that don't mind carrying a member of their fireteam. I've been pugging raids and I'm amazed at how many I've done this week alone. Bungies find fireteam is good to as long as you make it clear your there to learn.

Then your forever in heroic mode then since it's the only matchmade option. You have to do at least 3 to 5 runs to get one drop since it's uncommon.

No it isn't. The drop rates are as follows:

Uncommon
Common
Rare

I wonder why? There has to be a solid reason why everyone is kicking you.

yeah if "uncommon has a low chance and common mid chance but not guaranteed" that means rare must be even harder to get ( because we all know uncommon is more common then rare)

Nothing is ever guaranteed (unless otherwise stated), that's why I said that.

No, rare is above uncommon. Think of Engrams, they go uncommon (white Engrams), common (green Engrams), rare (blue engrams), legendary (purple Engrams) and finally gold (exotic Engrams).

Same applies to the order of drop rates.

If you can't understand that simple message, then it's just you. Not being rude, but I explained it clear as crystal.

[SpaceGhost]

sure.....uncommon more common then common... got it

I never said that, read my previous comments again. I clearly said the drop rates were as follows:

Uncommon (LEAST)
Common (MORE)
Rare (High)

You're confusing yourself by not reading correctly.


I'm ending this conversation as I'm done going in circles explaining the same thing over and over to you. If you can't understand the simple message above, that's a you problem.
