I just did a standard open world activity (stopped an execution). Something I've done hundreds of times and you're always rewarded a weapon and some piece of gear, both usually trash. This time the orange in the lower-left corner caught my eye and I was shocked to see it was a Bullet King (only my second one ever). !?!
Are they tweaking RNG to make exotics more widespread? In my 700+ hours I have never, ever seen an exotic awarded for a normal open-world activity like this.
Interesting. Perhaps my complete "unluckiness" is why I am so surprised. In 1.5 years it never, ever happened for me, so I assumed exotics were only in the loot pool for higher-risk activities.Originally Posted by xcel30 Go to original post
I have had them [very] rarely drop from NPCs during normal activities (usually Heroic and up), but never saw them awarded for same.
By chance did you hit Seasons level 55 during that mission?Originally Posted by UMUSTBBORNAGAIN Go to original post
Apparently so, though (as you note) the actual possibility must be insanely remote for me to not have ever seen it before in over 700+ hours of play.Originally Posted by Aced_100 Go to original post
Oh ya I had already hit 100, i've just never seen a random exotic as a MISSION Reward.Originally Posted by Sock_Monkey Go to original post
I've also gotten the Bullet King on Hard mode twice on Wall Street. I mean i've only got it once on Heroic and I run Heroic 95% of the time on that mission.
Ha ha ha yeah i did Lexington about 250 to 300 times never got a Barrets chest, i eventually got mine from a Proficiency cache.Originally Posted by Aced_100 Go to original post
Hence why i never repeat Missions in this game done them once or twice, not going through that crap again.
