Hi there everyone,
Check out the video for details on how you can increase the amount of times you have a chance to get an exotic weapon to drop in the raids by 75%. The video isn't long, it is just under four minutes.
The average endgame player at this point will have three 32's and do the raids on hard for each character. So by doing that, you get 6 chances from VoG and 6 chances from CE giving the average endgame person 12 chances per week for exotic weapons.
By using this method and hitting the exotic chances on normal first then on hard you increase the number of times you have a chance at exotic weapons for VoG from 6 up to 12 and for CE from 6 up to 9. This gives you 9 chances more than the 12 the average endgame player hits. 9 is 75% of 12. Therefore, this increases your chance at exotics from the raid by 75%.
Edit: for all the people saying you can not get drops twice from the exotic chest in VoG. Here is a link to a uncut video showing that you can get drops from the chest first on normal then again on hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV5XbhQ3KCU
Edit 2: This method of doing normal first then doing it on hard to increase your drops only really applies to exotics. If you are going for raid weapons or armor, depending what it is you are going for should dictate what type of run you are doing. For anything from VoG I recommend just running hard. For armor from CE run the abyss and bridge on normal first then hard. For secondary and heavy weapons from CE beat Crota on normal. If you just want primaries from CE then just do CE on hard.
Edit 3: I got proof of getting an exotics off of normal first then on hard. You can click here to check out the proof video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCnndBHvGgo

Banana Bread Recipe Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 1 hourYield: Makes one loaf. No need for a mixer for this recipe! Clean-up is easy too, if you want, you can mix everything in one bowl. The best bananas to use for banana bread are those that are over-ripe. The yellow peels should be at least half browned, and the bananas inside squishy and browning. Ingredients 2-3 very ripe bananas, peeled 1/3 cup melted butter 1 cup of sugar (can easily use 3/4 cup, or drop it down to 1/2 cup if you want it less sweet) 1 egg, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon baking soda Pinch of salt 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour Method Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas. Mix in the baking soda and salt. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix in the flour. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes (check at 50 minutes) at 350°F (175°C), or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool completely on a rack. Remove the banana bread from the pan. Slice and serve. (A bread knife helps to make slices that aren't crumbly.)

Only true way is to gather a jar of your enemies blood, a goat to sacrifice, and the booty of a Virgin. Then you must sacrifice the goat to the RNG gods, pour the blood of your enemies over it, and the Virgin booty is for me

Edited by THA_KILLA_BADASS: 5/18/2015 3:10:13 AMPretty sure your not gettting more chances with this method man (whoo). Your just using up both chances at once when you do it on hard, say with the exotic chest in vog, you grab it on normal then hard that's two chances for two chest openings. Yet when you do it on only hard you open it up and use both of your chances at once. So that's two chances for one chest opening. Sorry but your not really Into something....prove me wrong.

I feel like I remember getting double exotics in VoG back in the day, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that Deathsinger only drops an exotic once per week. Not sure about Crota, but I'd assume he's the same. You'd probably just get the rest of your materials and a primary.
-
um from what im hearing you can only get one exotic from one drop location ive seen someone who ran on hard first get 2 exotics, plan c, and mida from one deathsinger so im failing to see your point
-
I new this ten years ago, this is why I was able to get all exotics I'm part of the 1st tier all exotics!
-
"for CE gear run the abyss and the bridge on normal first then hard". This proves OP doesnt know what he is talking about since it has long been common knowledge that the gear only drops on normal (except the helmet). Gear CAN drop during a hard raid but only if you havent done normal first. Doing crota on normal is only useful if you need some of the weapons he drops.
-
I think most people already already figured out the higher chance of getting stuff if they run 3 characters in raids. Nothing new here.
-
Get the SGA and pocket infinity bounties to drop for me and im sold

How to get exotic engrams: 1. Kill things
-
Woah, playing the game increases your chance of getting rewards?! Who knew!?!?
-
You are incorrect.
-
I wonder how many poor saps fell for this drivel.

Edited by WinlockLocal: 5/17/2015 7:03:10 PMWhy didn't you include nightfalls?
-
12 chances instead of 9 is a 33% increase.
-
Just do the big wizard boss fight at crota on both modes either one you get exotics lol At least there u know u will get a exotic lol
-
Call me crazy butttt... If you open a hard mode gorgon chest you get 2 drops from the loot table :O it's almost like opening it TWICE :O
-
You could increase my chances by 100% and I still wouldn't get anything... Or I'll just get NLB.
-
So pretty much you just have to play the game? Lol
-
Technically it does not increase the chance of getting an exotic. It only increases the amount of opportunities per week.
-
You cannot get drops from chest twice and deathsinger same thing you damn noob
-
You can get 2 exotics just from a hard mode run...
-
Really cause I got a dragon breath an a last word from atheon on Tuesday on 1 hard run
-
Dumbest post ever.
-
people have got 2 exotics from atheon and crota. YOU get both your exotic chances when you do it on hard first.
