This damn game is ruining my last day on the beach

 

[Wallach]

How many three of coins do you suggest to stack at a time?

Use them one at a time. The weekly update describes how the stacking works - for each Ultra kill that consumes the buff but does not drop an exotic engram, the next Three of Coins you use will grant you a higher chance.

 

[Kyoufu]

Wow, 2 exotic engrams from one kill.

 

[Collateral22]

Done 7 ToC on Draksis now and no drops yet

 

[Robdraggoo]

dismantled a bunch of 240-265 heavy blues because I thought there would be worthless now that im over 280. then I remembered I was going to start leveling my alt for another sword. dammit.

I got the taokonaught from xur this morning. I didnt see a single heavy ammo drop from a rocket kill yet. but it does make add tracking to any rocket launcher. so that good.

I hit up the strike playlist and used 1 three of coins. no exotic but I did get the shield brothers guantlets. there ugly. then I used 3 coins on the next boss. got a legendary primary engram. then I used 5 on the next one and got a exotic helmet engram that turned into another taokonaught, smh.

 

[Dante316]

All of you people touting your engrams and exotics...congratulations! Being at work when this happens is part of destiny life it seems

 

[scarletham]

Oh I would totally run some strikes if it wasn't the fucking Echo Chamber every other time.

I haven't gotten Echo Chamber once, but I've gotten the Bond brothers one 15 times

 

[ocean]

I'm seeing a lot of people get two or more of the same thing here and on reddit. I would guess that means it would be better to go decrypt the engram once you get it to avoid duplicates. So making less runs and more frequent trips to the tower would likely be worthwhile for varieties sake.

This would do nothing to prevent duplicates.

I tried this approach with Helm engrams in my lunch break. Buy 1, decrypt, got the Graviton. I think sweet, let me buy another Engram now that I own this one so I don't get a dupe. #2: Graviton.

Got a ton of dupes, it's just pure random. No use in making extra trips.

 

[nOoblet16]

I think the theory is that when you kill the Ultra but don't pick up the Engram, you pop your next Coin and it triggers the "stack" (under the assumption that the last one didn't give you a drop since you never picked it up).

Yea it doesn't work really.
I stacked up 4....got an engram didn't pick it up.
Then got another on my next..didn't pick that up either. (This is just me getting lucky rather than the theory working)

But after that I got nothing for 4 tries....it would have worked if that theory held true.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

ray got 4th horseman


it's party time

 

[RemiLP]

Oh, u get 5 3ofcoins for 7 strange coins. Off to the gate lord then.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Im farmed out, need to save some of them coins. Good haul!

 

[spyder_ur]

I need to get off Gaf and Reddit. I was excited to learn about the Raid today but at this point I just feel sick. Hopefully I get a small chance to use some 3oC's tonight but I see this getting over-corrected to the point where people who weren't able to play early are left out of the fun (see: Queen's Wrath 1.0, Xur selling strange coins, any other exploit I'm missing here).

Feels bad man.

Maybe they just leave it. Give us the Quest Exotics to strive for, and if people want to farm engrams and gamble at the Draksis casino, let 'em.

Would be nice.

Good luck with your raids everyone.

Yeah not to be a wet blanket but I'm kind of in agreement - this isn't good for the game. Not blaming anyone for taking part but this is, in my opinion, one of the biggest exploitations the game has seen.

 

[Auto_aim1]

My last 3 exotic engrams gave me.

1) Zhalo Supercell
2) The Jade Rabbit
3) Telesto.

In addition to 11 other exotics.

I'm done guys.

 

[Wallach]

Has anyone tried Three of Coins at the Court of Oryx? Some Ultras don't consume the buff so I don't know if it works there.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Got this random legendary pulse rifle called the Hawksaw. Thing absolutely dominated in crucible.

 

[X-Frame]

Someone please confirm, I have an exotic engram there, should I not pick it up until a few runs? Will it stay there until I pick it up/go to orbit or will it go to the Postmaster?

 

[FirstClaes]

Any suggestions on how to get a better Ghost, it's holding me back with its 234 defense


Also, I got a Hawkmoon, and on the second column the two skills "Accurized Ballistics" and "Field Choke" both give "More range and Impact. Increased recoil". The fuck is up with that?

 

[Shito]

All of you people touting your engrams and exotics...congratulations! Being at work when this happens is part of destiny life it seems

I know the feeling, usually that's me in your seat.
Missed all the past "exploits", but luckily this time I am on holidays at the right time. ^^

 

[stb]

Uhhhh, anyone using these while doing Court of Oryx?

EDIT: since many of the low-level CoO are 2 bosses, the rate of drops might be faster than even Draksis.

EDIT 2: and you can be getting runes and artifacts and shit.

Anyone?

 

[Raybunny]

OHHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[Simonnnnn]

Maxed out on marks, wanna buy a Y2 exotic weapon but don't know which one I should pick up... I do love my Hawkmoon... Any tips?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I haven't gotten Echo Chamber once, but I've gotten the Bond brothers one 15 times

SABER is my mega repeat

 

[140.85]

Im farmed out, need to save some of them coins. Good haul!

UUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH

WHY DIDNT I TAKE A VACATION DAY TODAY???

 

[Tecnniqe]

Good start

 

[Wallach]

You can pick it up immediately. The info that your stack doesn't reset until you pick up an engram is not accurate.

 

[Robdraggoo]

how many 3oC are people using to ensure an engram drop?

 

[BraXzy]

ANOTHER Last Word!!! Why Destiny, why! :'(

It will stay there or go to postmaster

how many 3oC are people using to ensure an engram drop?

One in ABOUT 5 or so

 

[Lnkn52]

Year 2 memory for Grimoire....

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I feel like dumping exotics into your loot pool like this ruins a big part of the game. If you have tons and tons of exotics this week you ruin the reason to play strikes over and over etc.

granted go ahead and do it a few times to help get a little leg up and get a weapon etc but people abusing this for 10-20 exotic engrams this week.

They will probably be the first ones to complain about lack of content.

sitting at work, so jealous.

Bungie will probably patch this before I get home

 

[Definity]

I had to stop farming. Gotta save some coins for xur next week. If this was a way for Bungie to remove strange coins from the economy it worked. 8AM bungie time - curious to see what, if anything they do about it.

 

[Mutagenic]

Smart loot is bs.

A lot of people on here have been suggesting buying the Crucible / Vanguard one for 75 marks.

 

[Tecnniqe]

I AM Alpha Lupi

 

[Seth Enosh]

Anyone on Xbox One want to do the NF? Just got to 281 light.

 

[Anoregon]

Zhalo supercell really seems like that hotness. chain lightning auto rifle? gimme.

 

[ocean]

I AM Alpha Lupi

Lmfao
Rahool, never change

 

[BraXzy]

My 4 primary exotics have been 2x Hawkmoon and 2x Last Word, what're the chances xD

 

[deoee]

My haul after ~1,5 h:

Suros Regime
Zhalo Supercell
Hereafter
4Th Horsy
2x Skyburner Annex
Mask of Third Man
Young Ahamkara's Spine
Crest of Alpha Lupi
Mo Backup Plans
Immolation Fists

I think it was worth it spending most of my coins on this ;D

 

[Nialrot]

Sitting in the office staring at the clock... =( I feel your pain.

 

[phen0m24]

I simultaneously love you and hate you man

Spoiler

Ha. Totally fair, but next week everyone doing this won't care about Xur and will be complaining that he doesn't have anything for them. Who thought that Draksis would be the one to conquer Xur?

 

[Wallach]

Zhalo supercell really seems like that hotness. chain lightning auto rifle? gimme.

It's fuckin' awesome. You get half a magazine back every time you get a double kill on top of the super meter gain, so you can leverage Persistence for very long chains if you have enough targets to shoot at. The chain lightning is pretty much constant if any enemies are standing too close to each other.

 

[Daemul]

Decrypted 12 exotic engrams, excluding dupes and gear for other classes my hurl was;

Year 2 Hawkmoon
Year 2 Suros
Year 2 Mask of the Third Man (I really needed this one)
Year 2 Don't Touch Me
Sealed Ahamkara Grasps

I'm happy with that. Ain't gonna farm anymore, it's too draining now.

 

[Kalamari]

Graviton helmet get!

Also, Jade Rabbit #2 and HotPF.

 

[Abstruse Moose]

Maxed out on marks, wanna buy a Y2 exotic weapon but don't know which one I should pick up... I do love my Hawkmoon... Any tips?

I'm in the same boat. I'm thinking about doing the Bad Juju, or the Suros.

 

[EL CUCO]

Year 2 Fourth Horseman.

Everything else was armor.

1 chest, 5 gauntlets....why
