    GE caches still giving Exotic rewards from the Vendor list.

    Another item that was going to be fixed so you could not get an exotic that was for sale by the vendor, yesterday purchased 2 GE caches, the general 1500 GE credit ones.

    The first had only GS armour in it, OK it happens but I have a second one to go, the second had another GS armour piece and an exotic item, a Historian marksman Rifle.

    So 2 caches and neither of them had a CS item in them, then to add insult to injury the exotic is available for purchase from the vendor in the Terminal. I checked and it is still available on his list.

    How is this possible, it was promised to be fixed.

    Really unimpressed especially after 2 rounds of the LZ Bosses where there was not a single CS drop, or an exotic for that matter, from killing 30 Bosses, then to have 2 caches where there was not a single CS piece in either of them and to get a readily available vendor exotic just incensed me, especially after Ubisoft trumpeted they were fixing the drops so vendor exotics would not be in GE caches and yet here they still are.

    Luckily I do not use them for my travel arrangements, book a trip to a South Pacific island paradise and you would wind up in remote Greenland and find yourself in an igloo in a blizzard, with only whale fat to chew on.

    Actually no, they didn't. Read the patch notes carefully.

    So ONLY those two sources were changed. Any other potential source of an exotic, such as GE caches, remains unchanged and still can give vendor exotics.

    It sucks...I think they should have been removed from everything, across the board, leaving the vendor as the only source of obtaining them. But...that's the way it is.

    I wish that were true. I got a Liberator doing DZ dailies about a month ago.

    I also just got another Liberator from a GE cache. Lower level than the vendor right next to it too (vendor is 269 lol)

    ...and soon after that was pointed out, the issue was reportedly fixed. If you've seen any more vendor exotics in exotic caches from the UG since that time, then yes, there's a problem.

    Again, according to the wording of the patch notes, vendor exotics were never meant to be taken out of GE caches. Did the developers intend to take them out, but didn't, and worded the patch notes incorrectly? It's certainly possible, given their track record. Only they know for sure.
