Are shiny nether weapons a myth?
I’ve actually been trying to farm them lately and the drop rate is TERRIBLE. I’ve gotten a whopping THREE shiny drops in the last 2 days; collectively ~8hrs of farming.

It's actually a little known fact that the drop rates shrink and expand in a direct inverse correlation to how much you play. Play a lot, drop rates fall. Play very little...you get the best RNG. Look it up...many live service video games do this.

The nether is the same garbage many times over & no one plays it, the rate drop got set on low so people actually do the activity. I played it for weeks & only got 3 of them to dropped with 🌈 roles.

Bungie is full of it.💩 They lie and mislead us on a regular basis. They would make great politicians.🤣🤣🤣

Drop rates aren’t great. Adepts also supposedly got more common but for me at least they seem even more rare.
-
I’ve gotten them semi-frequently from expert Nether. Even got myself an adept shiny mg :) Normal mode they’re definitely rare. Have only gotten 1 drop from Court of Blades tho. Seems like the drop rate there is way worse - or that just might be a function of less loot in general from CoB

I get a bunch of rolls on Expert 🤷♂️

1 ReplyTo be fair they buffed the drop rate . Got a week or 2 I was getting them . I’m pretty sure the buff has been reversed at some point as they are as rare as before the buff again . Kind of disappointing g really

2 RepliesBungie: We improved the drop rates of adept weapons in the Nether/Court of Oryx. Reality: We made the drop rates worse so that you play longer trying to get them and we get improved play time numbers on our charts to make ourselves look relevent while we push out an extraction shooter no one asked for using money from the only game that is making us money.

They exist. The regular ones at least Shiny adepts tho…

Yes, shinies are supposed to be rare. If you aren't using the tome of want to get shinies, you're throwing. I would argue if you want a specific nether weapon, court of blade might be a better farm because it progresses the tome of want super fast. And you can get shiny/adept/shiny adept court weapons too. I say this as someone who had the tome of want on adamantite ever since the start of the season, I only got the roll I wanted on the second week of act 3 (max range slice + reciprocity). The shiny system is fine currently. You get triple perks.

Pointless grind if you are going for shiny.

Yet to get 1.
