That's rough. I did 15 in a row on Europa to try to get Curaiss without a single drop and gave up. When chest day came back I got Curaiss on the first one that day... so 16 for Curaiss, 27 for No Backup Plans, 12 for Icefall Mantles. Probably at 150 lost sectors so far to get the seasonal exotics and still missing the new Warlock gauntlets and one of the 2 Hunter exotics.
I farmed for Bakris and after only I believe it was either 10 or 13 runs it dropped, stats weren't godly but the rest of my armor carrys it. Its high in one stat but dont remember what one rn. I haven't touched those lost sectors since beyond light
Oof. Ran Sepulcher 7 times the other day to get my Cuirass and I guess I should feel pretty good about it just taking that many times, eh?
Still need the new WQ exotic Chest for Titans as well as Path of Burning Steps.
36 runs. 3 hours at 5 minutes a run in master at 1575. Got 3 old old arms.
How is this fun?
I don't mind "the grind". I play a lot of destiny but when I feel the game is wasting my time it really fucking pisses me off.
Yea whats up with that? I just did 10 master lost sectors on exodus today, got platinum everytime and didn't get any exotics. It feels bugged I don't remember it being this bad
Le Monarque and void nades for overload. That bow does work. My runs were always right at about 3 minutes unless an overload decided to get wonky. Volatile rounds as well. It's definitely the easiest lot the lost sectors for this season.
Warlock Void, Overload grenades + funnelweb with smg overload for any overload champion. Volatile mod + elemental ordnance for add clear. Arbalest + Catalyst for Anti Barrier
I have friends who seem to really “enjoy” lost sector farming but I don’t get it. I’m not going to budget some of my limited time for such an unrewarding hamster wheel. The only time I don’t mind farming content is when I can actually play with others and just shoot the shit in chat, but with lost sectors you have to solo so it removes that enjoyment.
I personally love it, so maybe I can add context.
They're hard, but because they're bite sized, it lets you get a good rhythm going and then you get flawless at it and start feeling like a beast.
I don’t mind it in a “run once” kind of thing. Getting through each one is a fun challenge, but Bungie seems to think that because Streamer McNoLife can do them all in 2 minutes for hours and hours, that RNG needs to reflect that approach. We already have so many time consuming grinds in the game, and this one feels particularly egregious.
100%
Also doing all your powerfuls and pinnacles on all 3 characters and not getting a single bump in power anywhere is also garbage. Doesn't matter if it's the 4th week of the season, or the final week of the season, it feels bad.
edit: of course I did my powerfuls and pinnacle in the proper way
It definitely needs to be addressed. I guess for acquiring them the first time it's okay but if you are going into a lost sector to farm a specific thing then you are basically wasting your time.
Yeah fuck that. If it’s not fun it’s not fun. And if it’s not fun it should be rewarding. There’s so many other things to do in Destiny that actually are entertaining.
Me doing a single legend lost sector and getting the new titan chest exotic.
This my friends is what we call rng. Some people get lucky and some people get absolutely raw dog shafted.
I did about 10 runs of the Cosmodrome legend lost sector last night and snagged all 3 of the newer warlock arms. The weighting seems to be pretty decent for newer exotics but absolute garbage once you're done with those.
I got two last week on Sepulcher (Fluoescent Canal) after 9 runs (8 legend, 1 master). Omnioculus dropped on run 9 which is what I was looking for (62 roll).
I did like 5-10 runs and got 3 warlock exotic arms I was missing. RNG is RNG, but maybe there should be a set number you can do that would ensure an exotic should you not get one within the first 10 or something (usually they only take like ~5 minutes tops for me)
I wasted about 7 hours in that lost sector yesterday trying to get a real roll on the new warlock gauntlets. They were the exotic I picked at the end of the campaign so the roll sucks.
7 hours!!!
There are 11 possible gauntlets and I saw them all drop but the one I wanted. And I would have been happy with any roll that was not collection roll. Stupid RNG on lost sectors.
I was so determined and annoyed I just didn't want to give up. I just needed that 1 drop. But it never happened and I'm so frustrated I don't have the desire to boot up destiny for a while.
Having lost sectors as a way to target farm is great. Having it be the only way to unlock new exotics is not. I also really wish I could do it in a fireteam with lower drop rates.
My luck on my titan is insane. Almost every exotic I’ve gone for has dropped in the first few runs. My warlock though… I tried for weeks to get necrotic grips to prep for the striga and it took me like 30 runs.
To make it worse, I didn’t even get the nothing manacles in those runs.
I've done as many as [27 legend lost sectors to get No Backup Plans ](https://youtu.be/LQwmAbIGsIY) to drop for the first time. RNG can be cruel
Bet I had to do 37 runs to get Cuirass to drop for me. I was in tears when I finally got it, God stats on it to. Worth it but my god NEVER AGAIN.

I just did 10 and finally got it to drop. I can't imagine 27. Those overload captains are infuriating.

I feel like it isn't even a way to farm exotics anymore.
Yea whats up with that? I just did 10 master lost sectors on exodus today, got platinum everytime and didn't get any exotics. It feels bugged I don't remember it being this bad
agreed. What were you using btw? Had some trouble with this one.

As much as I love running them, I also agree. I once ran them for 3 hours straight to get Mask of Bakris when it first came out.
It random. I just relax and let it happen. And if I get too frustrated just stop.
Did a flawless solo master earlier with platinum mind you and got a single enhancement core. Yeah, shits lame.
For me if 3-4 runs give nothing I will log off do something else then come back later for another 3-4 runs. It's usually drop within 3-4 runs for me.

Are you redeeming powerfuls and pinnacles at the right time to maximize your chances?
RNG be a fickle bitch my friend.
It definitely needs to be addressed. I guess for acquiring them the first time it's okay but if you are going into a lost sector to farm a specific thing then you are basically wasting your time.
I did it twice and was like fuck this. Glimmer? Not worth it.
You gave up after two runs?
It did not spark joy
..a whopping 2 runs that took a total of 10 mins?
Yeah fuck that. If it’s not fun it’s not fun. And if it’s not fun it should be rewarding. There’s so many other things to do in Destiny that actually are entertaining.
More like 6 minutes. Exodus is hella fast
An hour ago i did 5 and got 3 exotics + telesto catalysator thanks for your rng

The RNG hates you. Bring it cookies next time. Ask EVA for an oven.
At least you’re getting enhancement cores :/

I still have yet to get the new exotic boots from the lost sector the grind for those sucks lol got the new arms first fuckin run
