In the last 3 Heroic Strikes I've run, two separate Exotic Catalysts have dropped (Coldheart and Riskrunner).
Before 1.2.3, I had exactly zero catalysts drop during strikes.
I can live with this. :)

Heh - I have 2 datapoints to support my theory that they upped strike ones. Don't ask me for actual info. ;)

I got the Vigilance Wing catalyst from playing a few games of competitive last night.

Lucky you. 300 games later I still haven’t seen it.
Odd
When Warmind dropped, I got three of these right away (DARCI, Grav Lance, Crimson).
Today, I ran five heroic strikes and got nothing. Also, all five were on Mercury. Mix of both strikes.
Graviton Lance comes from leveling Dead Orbit to 50, Crimson can drop from ANY kill. I don't remember for sure what D.A.R.C.I. comes from but I think it might also be general kills.
There are some, like Coldheart, that specifically drop from strikes. Prior to a recent update, it was theoretically possible to get them from Heroic strikes, but almost no one was getting them.
