I still keep them because (even if nothing else) they provide an exotic component that can be used to re-roll any less-than-perfect exotic you do have (and like).Originally Posted by YodaMan 3D Go to original post
I have 12 caches saved up. I also have 20 components ready to be used and another 30 or so exotics in my stash. I'll probably wait to open them if they do have a Season 3 with new exotics.Originally Posted by Sock_Monkey Go to original post
If you are after a particular exotic you could try my idea and go to an area that has what you want as the targeted loot to open them, it would be interesting to see if it does make a difference.Originally Posted by T0NY.HAYABUSA Go to original post
No cap, this is real. I wish the system was smart enough to recognize you already obtain certain exotics and avoid opening the same one over and over again. So I have legit 10 Chameleon for the same reason. How I kill Coyote at JTC and receive another Chameleon? Yeah its bad, really bad. I also didn't get an exotic cache when I completed my first legendary mission DUA to get the Bighorn. Yeah this random and repetitive algorithm is way off.
I have 20 exotic caches and wanted another Memento for my other character, thought I would have a good chance to get one with all those. So I tested my idea of opening them where the targeted loot is, went to the Summit and selected back packs, opened the first one and got a Chatterbox which I have had over a dozen of.
The next one I opened contained, ta-da the Memento I was after. Didn't have great specs, 11.7% damage and 124,425 armor so I took it to the crafting bench and re-calibrated it, got 14.6% weapon damage and 164,875 armor, good enough I say! Still have 18 exotic caches left.
True, I have gotten the majority of my exotics from caches, and ones I never had before.Originally Posted by Kuilvax Go to original post
