    Why the fire sale on Chameleon?

    Sure, it's supposed to be pure RNG, but can someone tell me why 2 out of every 3 exotics I've gotten the past two months is yet another Chameleon?

    Doesn't matter if it's a random drop, an award, or the weekly SHD cache, I keep getting Chameleons, occasionally interspersed with a random "other" exotic.

    I guess it makes for lots of exotic components for re-rolls, but I get different pieces worth re-rolling so seldom it doesn't seem to matter!

    Not really. I've gotten Chameleon at about a 5:1 ratio to other exotics.

    Frankly Im sick of seeing it all the time, even though it's basically a free reroll of one of my non perfect exotics.

    It's a sign from RNGesus. AR buffs must be incoming.

    i got five in one day last week: 1 from weekly cache, 4 targeted loot.

    today i got another in weekly cache.

    i nuked every single one of them, such a worthless weapon.

    it's super disappointing to loot one.

    Tell me about it. Yesterday I got two while doing open world activities in New York (targeted loot). It is strange when I am not trying to get exotics they drop like candy. Last week I got two Sawyer's kneepad from Lincoln memorial in same mission (on hard! was doing bleed and stuff for league + project and wanted a quick run through not caring about loot). One was not even from a boss (dropped from the mob where you close the tunnel).

    But for me Rngesus bless me with Sweet Dreams. I just wish the almighty Rngesus would bless me with a Lady Death. It is the only exotic I really want and the only one I don't get.

    When I was playing about 35% of all exotics that dropped for me were Chameleons, even if the targeted loot was something else like shotguns or lmg's etc. The frequency with which the Chameleon drops really just proves that RNG is not as '' random '' as the developers would like us to believe and that exotic drops are seriously weighted towards the chameleon.

    I also believe that RNG is weighted throughout the entire game and really is not random at all, carrot on a string principal to keep people playing broken games.

    Lucky, I have 5 Tardigrades. Every other targetted loot drops high ends, Lincoln always drops a Tardigrade. Out of 10 runs I can get 3 or Tardigrades. 10 runs of any other targetted loot gets me nothing. I ran Potomac for the gloves and through the whole mission 2 pairs dropped. Working as intended.

    Since I wrote this I've had two more random exotic drops - you guessed it, both Chameleon. Pretty lousy rolls too, so instant deconstruct.

    Given how long this has been going and some of the other responses to this thread, no one can tell me that they can't (or don't) weight certain items for a higher chance of dropping. No how, no way.

    I haven't actually kept count, but I'd estimate my Chameleon to (all) other exotics ration is at least 4:1 now - maybe higher.
