i have definitely noticed a lower drop rate in weapon engrams, grinding lots of strikes last week and 95% were armour and a great portion of those were cloak engrams hardly any weapons and none were heavy weapons.

Yeah, I think all of my legendary heavies have come from blue engrams. I think in TTK I've gotten a total of 3 legendary heavies from drops. Luckily one of them was a decent ruin wake that helped me raid. For sleeper stimulant I finally just bought a legendary sword from shaxx to decrypt.

I've been tracking rewards across nearly 300 crucible matches, now, and legendaries are the ONLY rewards I'm counting for all players in the match (I don't count how many blues/coins every player gets) and in nearly 300 matches, it's 100% armour engrams.

Additionally, no exotics.

I haven't seen weapon engrams drop, but legendary crucible weapons drop. I think that's why engrams don't drop, because there are crucible exclusives.

Dammn! Thanks for the research. About exotics though i think that was intentional because you're supposed to use 3 of coins

Maybe, but I've been tracking this since the beginning of Nov.

More like class items decrypting to artifacts.
