I’ve been disappointed in many thing over the course of my 10 years history with playing, none come close to my disappointment with the shiny rng for brave weapons during this into the light event. The rng for these shiny variants is abysmally low, the lowest I’ve ever seen of any gear in the history of the game.
To understand my point, in the last 2.5 weeks since the start of the event, I’ve got 4 shiny variants, not counting the ones from the gun quests. Only 4.
Tonight I took a friend who is returning to destiny after a year away, through 50 waves on normal; he got 5 shIny’s in that single run, I got 0. I then did another 50 wave run on normal with matchmaking and guess how many I got that time? 0. None.
Another example of how ridiculously low the shiny rng is, is that over the course of the event so far , during bouts of onslaught I’ve picked up at least 9 exotic engrams. Vs the 4 shiny brave weapons.
I am more likely to get an exotic engram fall from an enemy during onslaught than I am to get a shiny variant brave weapon.
In what dimension does this make any sense? The answer is 0. Zero sense. What the actual hell is going on here.

I completely agree, and everything that fell to me is just garbage. Unplayable.
-
I have found that if you don’t have one of the weapon statues active in the hall of champions, the drop rate is higher
-
You can purchase shinys on amazon
-
I just did 50 wave twice in a row on legend and not a single shiny weapons drop . It's not supposed to be guaranteed ?
-
Shiny should be guaranteed from a legend 50 wave. Just like how 7 trials win guarantees adepts. Gm nightfall guarantees adepts. Master dungeons and raids guarantees. I'll even pay 50 tokens to roll shinys. At the current, getting a shiny every 2-3 hours is ridiculous.
-
I’ve barely played and I’ve got three shinies they’re not even that rare lmao
-
No. It’s just an ornament it’s not that serious.
-
I have several and I like that they’re rare. The game needs rare things.
-
Crafting starting to look nice doesn’t it
-
I was getting a bunch earlier and now it has dropped off substantially. Wonder if they changed the drop rates in the patch 🤔
-
Going to take a break for a week to see if I get guaranteed shiny on return lol. Bungie loves to do that.
-
Yeah! 4% drop rate baby, actually worse RNG than raid exotics
-
I completely agree with you. This drop rate is absolutely ridiculously low!
-
I got a shiny of the one roll I wanted on Succession, so that’s neat. But the other 3 I’ve gotten to drop were all unfortunately the worst perk combos…
-
That’s the point of them though. They are supposed to be rare variants for cosmetics, not things you actually need. You don’t need them. Also, i’ve picked up 2 exotics engrams to my 10+ shiny weapons, so i don’t know what to tell you.
-
I have also noticed this. The rng drop rate seems to punish you for paying the game more. This background rng system has been in the game for a long, long time. Now, it just actively shows how bad it is because the limited time guns are incentive to grind.
-
How many of the normal versions with perk combos you want have you gotten?
-
Hello! I understand your indignation, I play on a free game and have reached the maximum level of the game and have all the exotics that are available, and now that I don’t need anything this crap is falling like peas! I don’t know what to do with all this junk anymore! But I'm happy as an elephant! Since the developers always spoil us with all sorts of goodies, it seems to me that the game always is not configured by properly! No?
-
I have gotten zero shiny drops only from the quests.
