Okay, so I have done around 30-40 Vangaurd Roc strikes so far (In total) and I have yet to get any exotics to spawn. And all I see are people talking about just playing 1 round and getting an exotic. So my question is... [b]How many Vangaurd Roc strikes did you do before getting an exotic?[/b]
Edit: Please stop commenting about how it is RNG/Random. I know it is. I'm just curious is all.
EDIT!: So today 1/1 I did I think my 60th run on Omnighoul (NOT NIGHTFALL) and got Monte Carlo! How ironic, I have yet to get 1 exotic from the nightfall but from a Roc of the same strike I get a Console Exclusive! :D

I've done about 70 Roc Strikes and have never gotten an exotic from it. However, I did get a really nice Legendary Auto-Rifle by the name of Do-Gooder. I love it because the impact is decent, rate of fire at 90%, 29 rounds per clip, stability is great, accuracy builds the longer it is fired, AND the radar stays active even while aiming down the sights.(I can't even explain how useful radar while aimed is during chaotic cluster-blams!) So 0 exotics in about 70 Roc Strikes. And maybe 6 legendary items, 2 of which have been ships. (extinction event and the gardener) Also, I have collected many strange coins from the strikes which contributed to my Exotic chest piece (Voidfang Vestments) so I guess that counts for strike reward. It should also be noted that my luck with RNG is terrible. I have gotten 4 exotics since I started playing. The above stated Voidfang vestments, a titan helmet(I dont have a titan), and TWO accounts of the No Land Beyond sniper rifle which is the equivalent of Mr. Hankey the Christmas poo without his hat and mittens. .. I mean, it's a sniper rifle with no scope and it's main perk is that you can equip it in the primary weapon slot. It's more of a hindrance than anything. I guess if I need an exotic shard I can just scrap 'em.

I don't really know, honestly I just know that last week, I spent three consecutive days playing Vanguard Roc and received MIDA-Multitool on the third day It was [i]very[/i] stressful

Edited by S0ME 1 BETT3R: 12/31/2014 5:36:33 AMI got hard light the other day and my brother got gjallarhorn and hard light today only running like 5 Roc strikes I'm so fukn jelly lol
-
Got the fourth horseman the other day.
-
None so far but some scrub with 15 kills and like 10 deaths on dust palace got an IB today. Usually I don't care but I was close to wrecking my TV...
-
after 4 or 5 roc strikes i got the suros regime and the same thing happen to my friend but he got the ice breaker and both were on the same strike mission
-
I like the strikes and roll through them constantly, even when I've max'd my marks. I do it for the drops and fun. Can't give you any scientific data, just that it goes in long droughts followed by quick wins in my experience. Most recently I went through 2 or 3 weeks without any legendary or exotics from ROC. This past week though, in just the week, I got The Last Word exotic hand cannon, a pair of legendary gloves, 2 legendary weapons. It'll dry up again.. but that's the way of the game. They can't all be winners.
-
i have 3 chars and i always play ROC till my marks cap. i have only gotten 1 exotic from ROC "Last Word". but the best i could get was a lot of legendaries every 3-6 strikes. i have 5 legendary ships from ROC now.
-
Total strikes? Maybe 30-40 Had twenty minutes and said hey maybe I'll get a nexus strike, or at least a good team. Got both and finished in les than 10. I was amazed to receive a Monte Carlo
-
To be honest all i do is strikes so it was a high number like yours (40-50 etc) then I got ice breaker. Same for my friend that I always roll with, a few strikes later he got hard light.
-
My 4th ever roc strike i got plan c(5th one)
-
3 legendary dlcs ships have dropped for me, like 3 legendary engrams and Monte Carlo dropped on my third strike of the night..and that's my luck in the entire game lol
-
I did about 20 before I got an exotic.
-
Ive did about 60 roughly. One legendary engram turned into claws of amahakra but I already bought them from Xur One more legendary engram turned into the armaterium but I don't have a titan. Only one time at the reward screen did I get an exotic to come up, it was...suros :( but yeah just keep grinding.
-
I have been playing the game since launch, and rarely play crucible, and have only gotten one exotic from vanguard roc. It was a hawkmoon
-
First roc and my friend got the last word.
-
I just got The Last Word, from my SECOND strike at VG Roc.
-
100 and got patience and time 2.0, gjallahorn 2.0, last word 2.0, hawkmoon 2.0
-
I run roc strikes most days and some days the drops are good others not so good, I've had 2 exotics drop in a 4 hour period both for me - no land beyond and MIDA
-
Somewhere around 20-30 got me a hawkmoon.
-
Edited by sheedyxx: 12/29/2014 4:28:15 PMDone about 40-50 roc strikes, got patience & time last night and probably about 15 legendary engrams including from cryptarch and vangaurd
-
I did about 30 and got the last word 2x. But people tend to tell me I have the favor of rngeezus
-
5. I got Plan C 2.0. At the time, Plan C 1.0 was my ONLY EXOTIC. All of the guns in the game, and it gives me the ONE that I have. Screw RNG
-
The key is varying your play style. Do you use Auto Rifles the most? Switch to something else.
-
I did like 60 and got Plan C. Not a very good ratio, but at least I didn't get a useless exotic.
-
It's completely random and some people are very fortunate. I have roughly 200 strikes across 3 characters. I did tiger strikes and roc when it has become available and never once received an exotic and one legendary class armor engram as a reward lol.
