Yesterday I was on the moon going to kill some hive 500 to be precise. It was for this exotic bounty of which rewards you with this hand cannon called the thorn. Haven't heard of it? You have been in the dark for too long. Back to this engram I spawn jump on sparrow fly up the hill notice a kill patrol mission under bridge so I grab it. As I'm grabbing it the fallen is spawning out of cave to right the start shooting at me so I take aim with my thorn 2.0 (yes I have a few) I take them all out as there running up the hill. Then in slow motian a purple engram comes rolling down the hill to my feet. I just froze this was my 3rd wild engram since day 1. It was like seeing a the last dragon, or unicorn if you prefer.
After the moment of shock wore off I picked it up was a chest piece. I finished my laps through hellmouth killing hive. The curiousity was killing me so I went back to tower. Decoded this wild engram aaaand I got
*update*
Rofl sorry to leave everyone hanging it a little bit of suspense in forums seemed fun. I just got "holdfast type 2" for titan same exact I bought from vanguard day of dlc release.

Do wild exotic engrams exist?
-
I was cruising through the nightfall and I shot a vex in its soft spot and a primary legendary popped out turned into shards which doesn't make sense why the hell did it turn into shards and not energy that is pretty random in my opinion

Edited by Papa Duck: 12/28/2014 5:31:42 PMIs it the exact same. Any new armour I've gotten from engrams, that the vendors sell usually has better stats on it, ie higher discipline, strength or intellect.
-
Had one the other day in the omnigul strike. Didn't think they were real.
-
I've gotten like 6 legit drops And like 12 loot cAve drops
-
Gratz man ! They do exist , contrary to peoples opinion. I have probably gotten 6-8 since release, with 6 post emgram patch.

Edited by Stuka Ju87D: 12/28/2014 5:17:07 PMShot a dreg and a vandal on Archers Line by the broken dome today. They dropped a purple each one after the other. Had to rub my eyes. Thought one was maybe a pile of heavy ammo. Got energy and some legendary Warlock gloves. Guess I have to make a Warlock.
-
I got a legendary engram just now, I got leg armour for a warlock. I found it with my hunter. Nothing like collecting the armour I need for my Titan and warlock. I will be all set when I get my other characters to level 20+.
-
Got my second ever purple engram drop during Earth patroll when Fallen/Hive war broke out. Got new arc machine gun. Meh, clip holds 23 rounds. Gave my maxed 300 Swarm to my alt.

Edited by cViking: 12/23/2014 3:00:11 PMI have notice an increase in drops, Saturday I ended up running Omnigal twice paying in the Roc strike playlist and I had 3 legendary orbs drop all together between my 2 runs. one ended up being an icebreaker 2.0.
-
Had a purple drop, and bam.... Heavy weapon purple engram, jump to tower and bam..... Gjallarhorn 2.0, RNG gods smiled on me
-
I got like 3 since day 1 and none decrypted in a weapon or armour...everytime shards or energy.. At least i got monte carlo from a legendary engram from a roc strike
-
Got plan c out of a rare engram, broke it down immediately never liked the gun and already got 3 others this week
-
I had a cryptarch package yeaterday ahd 3 purple and 1 blue in it.
-
Found a purple boot engram in a chest on the moon and it turned into a legendary arc machine gun!
-
I've had about 3 in the last 2 weeks. Which is more than i got in the previous 3 months.And one turned into Icebreaker,which was nice. Shame then that in the couple of times ive levelled up with the Vanguard since all ive received is Motes of light,strange coins and nasty shaders. And i can only assume it's my bad luck when i desperately need a few Ascendant shards that all i get is ascendant energy for days on end.
-
I got five in one day once. I was so amazed. So far I have found 7 since day 1. Has anyone ever seen a wild exotic?
-
I got lot of them, but they all give me shards and energies or useless weapons. Rng was never good for me.
-
I get at least 1 purp a day. RNGesus loves me.
-
I got one s couple days ago and it was a helmet. Happy because I desperately want helm of saint 14. It turned out to be 2 -blam!-in energies
-
I've gotten 4 wild purple engrams and an exotic since dlc, turned into 3 legendary chest pieces a crucible hand cannon and mida multitool 2.0. I've been blessed so far
-
I got a legendary in the wild for the first time in months! Was a primary legendary. Master Rahool turns it into shards!!!! Argh, bitch slapped again!
-
I got one a couple of minutes ago the same way
-
It's a magical moment when you see one drop :). So far I've had 4 'wild' legendary engrams. 3 heavy weapons (all ended up as poor rocket launchers) and 1 body...... Shards lol
-
I got 4 on Sunday. I'll probably never get another lol
-
I just got 2 legendary engrams today. One I picked up in roc strikes and one from earth patrol. I just ran and all the sudden I picked up a legendary engram. I never saw the purple :0
