Lost my first exotic.
Hey guys! I have just experienced something very heartbreaking. Me and my friends were doing a level 24 strike. Fairly easy run. We strole through it with no problems. Last boss, we die a couple of times but no big issue. Now the boss is at about 1% health and I go all in to try and get the kill. Unfortunatly I die but my friends finish off the boss. Now they try to revive me and realise that they cant revive me when the boss is dead and the mission has ended. Whatever, wouldnt make a difference right? WRONG. My camera goes to 1 of my friends and I spot that an exotic, yes! An exotic engram. Keep in mind. I have never recived an exotic in this game. I havent even recived a legendary item yet. So I went absolutly crazy. Yelling to my friends to quickly revive me. But surprise surprise. You cant revive after the boss is dead. At this point im completly lossing it. And the mission ends and we're put into orbit. My friends try and calm me down my saying I'll recive it in my post. I check my post and it's empty so now im left with nothing but a broken heart. I uploaded the video clip and took a picture as proof. Hopefully showing that it indeed was exotic.
I know the images may appear greenish but I promise you, the item is exotic!
Is there really nothing I can do to get my exotic item?

7 Replies[quote]Exotic engrams really don't drop. It's not possible. You didn't miss anything. Also the game has a failsafe that automatically sends any engram that's blue or better to the postmaster. So if somehow the game broke and an exotic dropped it would be in the mail[/quote] This is correct. Exotic Engrams never drop and can only be purchased from Xur. More than likely you saw a green engram that was colored yellow by the death screen effect.

It's green. No worries bro. You didn't miss anything.

Thanks for the responses, almost wanted to quit for a second. Knowing how rare exotics are.

3 RepliesIt's yellow.

Exotics don't drop. If they did you would get it in the mail as "lost items". So no. Relax. You missed a green.

Exotics can't even drop...

Definitely green. That strike ALWAYS makes green look yellow. I almost lost my shit when I saw one for the first time. I've never seen an exotic engram, or exotic item drop like that. AFAIK they are only end game rewards. Either way, since it is rare+, it would be an engram, and any engram you don't pick up is going to end up at the postmaster.

I nearly pooped myself the first time I though I saw a yellow drop. I was playing the Earth strike on tiger playlist and went galloping across the map in a mad frenzy to pick it up. Green pulse rifle. Bitter disappointment. Yellow engrams defo don't drop.

I bet it was a vex mythoclast... Lmfao. Jk. It's greener than the grinch's scrotum. If you practice surviving a little more you could run over and collect your "exotic drop" though

Not an exotic. Sorry
-
It is just lighting. Being that you're over level 20 any encrypted engrams blue or higher that are left behind will be sent to the post master to reclaim. Since it sounds like there wasn't an exotic at the pm, that's a green.

First exotic engrams dont drop, second if it would it would be in your mailbox under lost items..

3 RepliesSorry but thats just a trick of the lighting effects. Exotic engrams dont drop like regular ones.
