Engram drop rates need a serious buff
I've gotten maybe 2 vanguard engrams since MoT came out, and I've been playing almost every day and mostly solo/Fireteam/pinnacle. TWO. I don't even want to try trials if this is how little they drop.
Engrams should be dropping every 2-3 matches at the very least, it doesn't have to be 1 per match but like 3-4 is fair. But so far I've gotten flipping TWO. Something isn't right here.
While you're still doing patches or whatever for the next little while, please buff Engram drop rates. Who's it going to hurt now that you've abandoned your bigger money maker? So before you go bankrupt, please fix this oversight. Thanks

What actually needs to happen is to bring back the double rep for vanguard and crucible and triple rep points for gambit it was utterly pointless to take that away.

Edited by Reith: 6/24/2026 3:18:12 PMHec k ya! As an example for me...I have two Vanguard engrams and 40+ vanguard chiper that are useless...what's the point? Comp activities are the exact opposite. I get tons of engrams from comp, trials and gambit-win or lose...but little to no comp chipers lol. Competitive comp seems stingy but not as bad as vanguard engrams....why??
-
Trials engrams have actually been dropping a lot more frequently for me, I do agree though that the other vendors take forever. I think they reduced the amount of reputation you get to slow the progression to drag out the first rank up since that’s where the goodies are

elitegall good 👍 Xcept > engram rate 👎 - 6/25/2026 1:16:32 AM
Yea I guess its not exactly straight-forward (although they can just go for it at the end of the game > aka > just let it rain) I see that its a difficult mix between chase/pursuit and reward/loot ...attuning feels great (when its on point) and T5 makes that even more rewarding... ...so they try to have some things take time thats ok.. its just unbalanced... must shower with engrams for the vendor when you rank up... or earn along the way (per matches).. or Xur coins for more engrams (this allows you to play anything where strange coins are earned for any vendor).. or attune everything but less drops... or even Rahool exchange for resources for a global engram.... ...hoping they say something this Thursday's TWID ..... yet overall still game is poppin... live... good... and the numbers may make it a compelling case for closer business re-review... -
Yeah, the drop rate is ridiculously bad. I've literally had more catalysts drop than Vangaurd engrams, lol.
-
The rep gains are the same for solo and fireteam. You think the longer activities would be more rewarding. I hope arena and pincle are more than the 50 rep you get in the other 2
-
They need to either drop the vanguard engram part so it’s glimmer only or put all the old 3.0 sets in the tenet screen with all the other seasonal armor/weapons engrams so we can just use legendary marks for them.
-
The weekly GM should at least give you 2 or 3 per completion
-
Funny I made this same post yesterday.
-
It's working as intended.
-
The only time I've gotten blank/encodable engrams is from vendor rank ups. It feels dispairingly slow to amass engrams to focus for weapon drops - even more so if you're trying to unlock cosmetics of legacy gear or grind out Bushido t5 pieces.

1 ReplyThere isn’t gonna be anymore fixes for the game soon so it’s unlikely to happen
