Exotic Ciphers are Too Scarce
Unless I'm mistaken, there are very few sources for exotic ciphers. You can get 1 per week from Xur, and 1 per 12 exotic engrams if you decide to spend 2 ascendant shards each. And there are a few for completing the first rank of vendors in a season (1 per vendor).
As a returning player, I don't have many lost sector exotic armour pieces. This creates a problem for me as it will take months to unlock what I could have done in a week or so before. Not to mention I also have exotic weapons to buy from the kiosk on top of that. I have 45 exotics left to get and that's not including the fact I'm going to want to spend them on artifice slots for builds I want to make.
Its a very slow process, I'd love to sink some time into grinding for them but there is no good way to do this. The obvious implementation would be to include them in the lost sector loot pool. I'd rather not have to grind 20+ ascendant shards per cipher.

3 RepliesIf you have access to it, the Vex Incursion Event on Neomuna should drop some of those lost sector exotics. Unless Bungie changed that in TFS too. Wouldn't surprise me, tbh. On a slightly different note, while I agree that it is kind of a feelsbad moment, that is also kind of the nature of the game. To get "everything" you kind of do need to invest a fair--emphasis on fair--amount of time and grind into unlocking it. With how many avenues there are to do so, I don't think the system is in need of too much retooling. If anything, I wish Bungie would dial things back a bit on exotic engrams.

OMG I can’t get rid of them lol. Do your exotic drops through play lost activities to level up your reputation with Rahul. Pick up the bounty from Xur on Fridays. I have so many of my exotics upgraded at this point that I’m doing my sentry characters.

You can get Exotic Ciphers from the Season Pass as well.

Working as intended. For them.

1 ReplyWhile true initially, it does get to a point where they’re not. I have 5 and haven’t claimed any from the seasonal rewards. There’s just nothing left for me to use them on.

It is a poor system for new or casual players. It seems to have been designed to cripple the progress of people who play all the time (like myself).

Season pass drops them and leveling xur gives you 1 per reset.

If I could give you mine I would have.. there should be a market place where people can sell god roll weapon resources etc.. it would have been great

Title. Agree

2 RepliesTry being a new player, there's like 90 kiosk guns that all require ciphers

2 RepliesThe exotic cipher tonic is cracked for this

Wish trading existed so that I can give you mine. Have full ciphers and 3 cipher potions that I don’t need since I’ve already gotten everything from the dam kiosk.

Don’t worry armor is changing to 3.0 soon so your armor will become outdated and less useful.
