Double-Drop Elder Cipher Reward Glitch

After defeating Skolas, I was excited to receive two Elder Ciphers amongst other rewards. The glitch begins when you travel to see Variks, The Loyal to start the reward process for your Elder Cipher. When I chose my first Exotic reward (Dreg's Promise), I could only choose the weapon I wanted once, and it counted for both Elder Ciphers, rather than being able to choose a separate gun for each Elder Cipher. Now I currently have 2 Elder Ciphers with the same Exotic, because I was unable to choose a separate reward for each. tl;dr: I'm not able to choose two Exotic gun rewards for two Elder Ciphers, I can only choose one Exotic weapon that counts for both Elder Ciphers.

      The only way to get around this is hope. In steps the cypher counts as one bounty however the random timer when it comes to waiting for variks is random for both cyphers. So my friend had 2 drop but one finished before the other so he did one first and the other one layer. As far as I am able to tell this is the only way to avoid 2 of the same reward, this has also happened to me on my Titan. In order to a avoid this in the future simply only leave 1 bounty space when killing Skolas.
