I can confirm getting it from exotic caches. That's how I got mine.Originally Posted by xcel30 Go to original post
It used to be only available by farming NY named bosses but it has been thrown in the general loot pool a while back. Meaning you can get it to drop anywhere anytime. That includes exotic caches, open world activities, freeroaming or missions, but SMG targeted loot will improve your chances.Originally Posted by kiakill Go to original post
I'll add that if you're only farming for that specific item, you don't need to bother chosing higher difficulties as exotic will drop from normal difficulty with virtually the same stats than heroic.
