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.
-
I got them on accident. Lol
-
Got em my forst try. Didnt like the stats broke em down
-
First or second time I got them lol. On a warlock. And I'm not going to use the either!
-
And no ghallyhorn! Ugh! I'm just going to cry myself to sleep now.
-
Like mine ?

Got them running as my lock the second time I did it I infused them to 299 and they've been sitting in my vault ever since cause I haven't got around to my Titan yet
-
Had them 3 times, don't even have a titan ):
-
Well there's this thing called RNG.
-
I got the darkblade helm only my third time through that strike.
-
Ran once got gauntlets. Never play my titan -_-
-
I feel ya. I finally got them but the roll wasn't anything I could use so they're just in my vault now lol

4 RepliesWhy people grind so long for under 300 gear is completely beyond me. Sure you may like the looks but damn to waste over 10 hours for one useless piece of gear?
-
Maybe 20 at most for me.
-
1 ReplyI hate seeing then on the screen so that's why I've dismantled 2 of then.
-
Took me about 100 tries to get my Warlock helmet, keep at it.
-
Have you tried killing the artillery one first and John Cena last
-
1 ReplyI'm sorry... I recently got them (may have been my 10th or so time doing it). I dismantled them after. :/
-
Sorry dude wasn't even after them and they dropped, think I've done that strike around 15times now across three toons. Do look cool but the perks are meh
-
I was lucky enough to get them after about twenty runs but I am rank 76 with new monarchy and still no ship hopefully you'll get those mauler gauntlets soon man good luck
-
1 ReplyI free your pain man. I haven't gotten a single strike exclusive drop. Top be fair I haven't grinded strikes much, but still
-
Have you tried killing him last? I've noticed that the last flayer killed drops his mantle. Maybe it's a similar drop method?
-
I've run the flayers strike like 4 times and gotten arc and solar mantles. I just hit the 50 mark on shield brother completions, and nothing.... RNGesus works in mysterious ways. Also I only ever use my titan
-
You never get the things you want the most it seems. I'd love one of the flayer cloaks but after 50+ attempts, I've gotten nothing to show for it. On the other hand, I've done the shield brothers and darkblade strikes maybe half the amount of times as the dust palace strike and I've received 2 Titan gauntlets and 1 darkblade helm.
-
Man dude I've been grinding for at least 20 strikes. Still don't have them
-
Gottem 3rd try lel
