I've been reading a lot of posts on the forums about people having luck with unique drops in the nightfall strike, and I've personally experienced similar results. It might have something to do with the update where they don't drop "normal" legendary engrams anymore (so if you get a purple drop, you know it's unique).
This week's nightfall is also faster to run through than normal. Vex instead of taken, you don't have to hold down the second door, and no enemies at the console prior to the boss. I've done 5 NF's with my friends, 1 for each character and two extra, and these are my results:
(Nightfall #, Me/Friend1/Friend2) [Scout=Treads Upon Stars, Cloak = flayer mantle]
1: Nothing/Scout/Scout
2: Nothing/Nothing/Arc Cloak
3: Scout/Nothing/Nothing
4: Arc Cloak/Scout/Nothing
5: Nothing/Nothing/Scout
They definitely seem more generous than heroics, although I've heard lots of people on here claim they have even more frequent drops than me, even multiple in a row.
How have you guys been doing with unique drops from the nightfall? Or just the main NF rewards in general?
