A valid complaint about Lost Sectors
[i][b]tl;dr: Simply put, they need better reward drop rates, if not better rewards altogether. Not Glimmer.[/i][/b]
I’m not talking about in regards to the exotics, though many others would like debate over that.
What I personally find as a terrible design is how you can run consecutive Lost Sectors, back to back in either Master or Legend difficulties and not get anything but a handful of 5000 glimmer and whatever blue engram drops that you happen to scrape off of the ground while doing them.
That doesn’t feel like a reward when you can run literally any other activity, pop a Rainmaker consumable and just farm mob enemies, or bypass that altogether with Rahool and his exchange shop.
[u]Problem:[/u] There’s no worthwhile incentive to farm, or even enjoy, L/M Lost Sectors once you get the triumphs or the exclusive exotics, but one could also argue that there wasn’t any incentive before either.
[u]Solution:[/u] Add more to the reward pool that isn’t just standard gear that drops from regular enemies elsewhere in the game and remove the Glimmer reward outright.
Set the baseline for Enhancement Cores to be the standard drop for Common/Uncommon and put in other mats like Prisms or Alloys alongside the chance for the exclusive exotics. Hell, maybe even throw in higher Exotic Catalyst progression for doing them.
As it stands, basic activities across the game need improvements and if every additional season will put a momentary focus on activities like these, then there needs to be some sort of improvements to keep players invested enough to want to do them, even if they’re just side tasks.

The fun factor is subjective although I don’t think anyone has ever gone into Lost Sectors with fun in mind lol. Enhancement Cores are very plentiful already, hell I had approximately two hundred drop for me yesterday alone while I was farming arms. However the addition of something like Alloys would be nice. Even future catalyst drops for existing exotic weapons would be a good addition. I’ve seen the videos and the statistics people have tried to compile but in all honesty I’ve personally had really good luck farming Masters to the point where I’ve been swimming in exotics. At the end of the day it’s all RNG. Some days are better than others. They could buff the drops a bit but it’ll never be anything major if they do. I feel like a lot of people either weren’t around or have forgotten what it was like prior to Bungie making the changes that they did to LS’s. Exotic drops were scarce to say the least. I can understand complaints to a degree but when all is said and done we were literally given a clear cut way to farm exotic armour which is tremendously helpful when putting together builds and people still complain about it. This game, just like every other simile game or looter shooter,is grindy and RNG based. That’s literally just the nature of the beast when it comes to this type of genre.
