I got pestilence, sweet dreams, diamondback, lady death, mantis and chameleon all of which I didn't have previously from exotic caches. Also got sawyers kneepads, BTSU gloves and Ninja Bike kneepads which I didn't have either. So you can definately get stuff you don't have.
Today I got a backfire SMG, never seen one before.
Yesterday I did the 30 levels of the Summit and opened the exotic cache to get another pair of BTSU Data Gloves.So this morning I was in New York and tried another weekly exotic cache, not expecting anything great and thinking it's probably going to be something I have too many of, to my surprise it contained the Bullet King I have been lusting over.

When I find out new exotics are coming, I save them up for about a month on all 4 characters, unlock the new exotics when the update or season comes, THEN open all the exotic caches. Generally I can stock all 4 characters with the new exotics in the 60-80 exotic caches I have saved. No need to farm them.
If you have them all they're only useful for exotic material when recalibrating, trying to get all god rolled exotics.Originally Posted by YodaMan 3D Go to original post
If you have four characters, quite a few are needed to get all god rolled...
With that said I would rather have optimization caches over exotic ones, would be great if we could choose.
I took a break before warlords dropped and only just got the expansion in the sales.
Exotic caches for me have produced more that I didn't previously own than they have doubles and due to my hiatus the doubles were level 40 so saved on upgrade costs. I have had a run on acosta's pack but those were all from random drops.
Not really worth it to be honest, I have saved enough exotic caches and wanted to get something new and all the exotic caches I only keep getting Bullet king, Chatter Box, Chameleon, diamond back and sweet dreams and nothing else. It would be nice if they can rework the exotic caches instead of getting the same item all over again, let us say you got one of the exotics for example and you opened another one and ends up as a duplicate which should be converted to resources, parts and credits that can be useful you know same as the textile credits.
