82 times, Bungie. 82 freaking times.
As the title reads, I've run the Shield Brothers strike 82 while chasing those damn unique gauntlets and 82 times I've come up NOTHING. What's even more discouraging is that I've read on threads here and other sites that people have run it in excess of 125 times and come up with nothing as well. Whether or not you think they're stylish, I personally like the look of them and therefore want my Titan to sport them. :)
Now, before the masses decided to impart their "wisdom" know that one, this isn't a "screw you, Bungie!" post; I'm honestly just curious as to other peoples success rates, or lack thereof, when farming these items. Two, I KNOW, as you should know and/or learn now while reading, that these unique boss drops ARE NOT tied to the Legendary loot table of Strikes; they're on their own drop percentage so please don't say, "Do strikes for the buff to increase your chances!" because that is false. You should also know, as I recently found out, that you don't have to kill Big Red or Big Blue first/second. Again, I know it's all RNG but still.
Anyhow, rant and rant alike, anyone else out there farming these gauntlets and coming up short? Flayer capes? Darkblade Helm? How many times did it take you to get yours and/or how many times have you run a certain Strike?
*UPDATE #1*
115 times and still nothing. Tried running it on my hunter for a change of pace, though. It's at least a little more fun now.
Do people even READ the post before commenting?
Bungie really needs to add a penalty for bailing on a Strike. I lost count of how many times people flaked after getting the fragment.
-
Friend got one second one we ever did back when it was a story mission to complete it
-
I got it Running heroic the first week on my hunter. It's all about the RNG.
-
I was lucky enough to get them the first time I ran Shield Brothers with my Titan. Now, the Darkblade's Helm, on the other hand, refuses to drop. Same story with the arc and void flayer cloaks and taniks' cloak for my hunter.
-
haha you silly billy
-
This make me feel bad. I have gotten 3 in about 15 strikes...
-
I got the gauntlets and ive only done that strike 5-10 times randomly in playlist lol. I vaulted them.
-
I got mine the 4th time I ever played the strike. On my hunter.
-
i got the arc flayer cloak within my first 5 dust palace strikes, but i dismantled it because i didn't like it that much
-
I got it the week it was the nightfall...on my hunter.
-
Just landed back to back solar flayer capes in the nightfall... Too bad I don't have a hunter to put them on.
-
Got my second one lasted night. I don't think I've done Shield Brothers more than 5 times since Taken King released....
-
Heroics are where it's at.
-
I don't even wear mine because the stat roll is weaker than a few of the lower light level ones I have. Just cause they look cool doesn't mean they help.
-
I ran vanguard heroics, I think the increased legendary drop does affect the drop rate of strike exclusives, as I got the gauntlets after 2 weeks
-
Got them on my 3rd or 4th time ever running the strike
-
I got them, and infused them on to something else
-
Don't farm it :/ just run heroic strikes. I got a Taniks' cloak after 3 strikes. 2 of which were the shadow theif.

-
Recommendation for Darkblade Helm hunters: The Exotic Sword version of the Darkblade Strike seems to give them out like Tootsie Rolls on Halloween.
-
I got mine the first week. I been chase that damn helmet
-
Got mine a couple weeks ago
-
1 ReplyIdk I had like 10
-
I've found zero exclusive armor since ttk I'm talking about the strike specific gear I know how you feel.
-

-
It dropped on my Hunter a long time ago like before I really knew what the strike specific gear was.. I kept them though.
-
My 3rd dark blade run when the taken king came out I got the helm, I have done the flayed strike a total of 15 times and got to cloaks, and The shield brothers about the same as the flayers and got the gauntlets last night
