Empirical Evidence & Likely Suspect | Best ways to get them?

[Snow Miser]

Right now I'm stuck on the very last Enclave Report quest where it wants me to shape 3 different throne world weapons, I already have the rocket launcher out of the three. Trying to get the Arc Hunter Glaive (even though it's probably not worth the time) and have been stuck on this part for a while, mostly due to grinding other things. Where's the best place to get these weapons?

They are able to drop from gear chests that you can find from completing activities on Savathûn’s Throne World. This is a fairly rare drop from tier 3 chests. Specifically, the Pub Event, Chests, and Lost Sectors appear to have the largest chance of dropping this item.

Yikes. So it's the worst kind of RNG you can have? Grinding locations for a deepsight drop...

High Value target chests have a high, if not guaranteed chance to drop a throne world weapon, deepsight is still RNG though. The same is true for any of the assassinate patrols (The ones with the gold circled star where you go kill a specific enemy)

Yeah i've figured out that the best way to get the weapons is via farming high value hive guardians (They don't drop on scorn high value targets, NOR! public events) except that i've gotten about 5 drops of each damn weapon, and still haven't received a SINGLE deepsight. Well, that's a lie, I got TWO deepsights for... the weapons I already unlocked/don't need!

Destinations are the worst part of destiny.

Unless this was changed recently, you can actually get guaranteed red borders for Empirical Evidence, Likely Suspect, and Red Herring, when progressing through the Witch Queen campaign for the first time on another character. So, if you desperately need those weapons, I'd suggest doing that; worst case scenario, make a new character and play through it until you get the weapons.

There are some spots where hive guardians spawn. Just farm them, go to orbit repeat. I got it done in 2 days during launch week.
