82 times, Bungie. 82 freaking times.
As the title reads, I've run the Shield Brothers strike 82 while chasing those damn unique gauntlets and 82 times I've come up NOTHING. What's even more discouraging is that I've read on threads here and other sites that people have run it in excess of 125 times and come up with nothing as well. Whether or not you think they're stylish, I personally like the look of them and therefore want my Titan to sport them. :)
Now, before the masses decided to impart their "wisdom" know that one, this isn't a "screw you, Bungie!" post; I'm honestly just curious as to other peoples success rates, or lack thereof, when farming these items. Two, I KNOW, as you should know and/or learn now while reading, that these unique boss drops ARE NOT tied to the Legendary loot table of Strikes; they're on their own drop percentage so please don't say, "Do strikes for the buff to increase your chances!" because that is false. You should also know, as I recently found out, that you don't have to kill Big Red or Big Blue first/second. Again, I know it's all RNG but still.
Anyhow, rant and rant alike, anyone else out there farming these gauntlets and coming up short? Flayer capes? Darkblade Helm? How many times did it take you to get yours and/or how many times have you run a certain Strike?
*UPDATE #1*
115 times and still nothing. Tried running it on my hunter for a change of pace, though. It's at least a little more fun now.
Do people even READ the post before commenting?
Bungie really needs to add a penalty for bailing on a Strike. I lost count of how many times people flaked after getting the fragment.

XD I got mine on my hunter on my first nightfall

4 RepliesYeah. The drop rate on just about any of the unique items are really, REALLY low. Ive run Dust Palace almost 150 times now, and I havent even ever seen a person in my Fireteam drop one, myself included. I want the void mantle... So.. So bad.
-
Doing it while it's the Nightfall increases your chance significantly. That's been my experience anyway.

4 RepliesEdited by DjNormal: 10/24/2015 6:30:44 PMI have the mauler gauntlets, two Darkblade helms, a Darkblade fusion rifle, imago loop, 2 treads upon stars, the saber machine gun, the vex Titan mark, a solar cloak... But not one dang warlock drop ever. The sexy helmet from Saber-2 or the gloves from the restorative mind. That strike specific gear really needs to drop about 10 times more often. Especially considering the rolls might suck when it does drop. #RNGsucks
-
120 cabal strikes just to get TUS with Icarus I feel your pain
-
Got 2 Darkblade helms and the mauul maulers and I don't even main Titan
-

-
I've had at least five drop while on my Warlock. And that's the only strike drop I've ever grabbed, nothing has dropped from any other for me.
-
Got mine first time I ran the strike on my Titan. It was for the quest, maybe a higher drop rate during quests?
-
Can anyone help me with the shield brothers strike at light level 290 to get the chaperone
-
You just gotta wait. Don't farm. By the way wanna help me with the chaperone bounty???? lol seriously though Ps4 LargeSticker
-
1 ReplyI don't know why they put them on the left hand when the Valus AND Titans punch with the right? Don't tell me you wouldn't want your Titan to punch with a flaming chainsaw!

Edited by Tonberry Killer: 10/24/2015 5:22:36 PMIve said it before, and I'll say it again - It took me 208 attempts to get the Tanniks Cloak... You have my sympathy. Keep trying, the items will come eventually.
-
Helm and fushion from darkblade got first time both dropped, helm from fallen saber dropped the second time, mantle like 6th and really the only thing im after is the one I highly doubt ill get and when i do finally get it, it probably won't be the roll i want in it, is the imago loop
-
It's better chance of drop the higher the difficulty, especially the nightfall. So wait til then and try :D
-
Got them the second time I played the strike [spoiler]on my hunter[/spoiler]
-
5 RepliesHow about every exotic chest engrams I get turns into alpha lupis for hunters.
-
I feel ya bro i gave up on them Have every hunter strike exclusive tho...and no hunter..smh
-
I got lucky and had it drop twice. After about 15 attempts. First drop was 280 light, second was 300. They are great.
-
I love those gauntlets. They look awesome.
-
I've never gotten those but I've been farming the saber strike for the warlock helm and I've honestly given up on it. I finished at exactly 40 includes nightfalls and normal strikes and heroic ones trying to get it. Good for you for sticking it out that long lol. I've decided to just say forget it and if it comes it comes.
-
Peep my titan champ:)
-
Maybe do other things and don't think about it so much and they will drop
