So there I was doing the blind well and the RNG dropped an exotic sword Black Talon for me at the end of a unstable charge round. I know very little about the sword but it’s pretty nice and I’m trying to figure out when I can blast baddies with it.

Anyone else have luck recently?

Exotics are dropping like rain these days, almost.

Played with Robot and Rellekh last night; Robot got 4 exotics, Rellekh got 3. (Granted, they both got Wish-ender, so maybe you want to count that as 3 and 2.)

I only got 1 (Ursa Furiosa), but that might be because in the past 2 weeks, I've gotten more than half a dozen new ones:

Malfeasance (might not count)
Trinity Ghoul
Lord of Wolves
Twin-Tailed Fox
Black Talon
Antaeus Wards
The Sixth Coyote
Contraverse Hold

I feel like whatever switch they had for keeping the Exotics rare, someone flipped it not too long ago.

Yes and no.

I was playing on Sammy's account a couple weeks ago, showing her Gambit, and explaining the rules and strategies, when the meatball shows up. Killed it, got her the quest, and a few games later got the Wavesplitter, which immediately became my favorite PvP gun (at least tied with Fighting Lion).

So yes, good RNG, but not on my own account. :(

Got the Queenbreaker from the first raid boss.

I’ve had a run of great luck when it comes to drops lately, and as a result I now have every Forsaken exotic weapon. I got Black Talon from the final boss in the Whisper mission. Trinity Goul dropped from a daily bounty in the Dreaming City. And I got Cerberus +1 after a Crucible match, I believe.

I’m loving all of them. More now than any other time in Destiny, I’m swapping exotics and mixing up my load out constantly, because I’m having fun and finding great uses for so many exotics. Sleeper and Whisper are still great when I need pure, boss-melting DPS. But I find myself just as often using Malfeasance or Wish Ender while making my way through Shattered Throne, then switching to Cerberus or Trinity and laughing maniacally while I melt baddies on patrol with them, take 2-Tailed Fox into a strike and some crucible, and so on. There’s great fun, style, and variety across the board.

I’ve always looked back longingly at the D1 year 1 days of equipping Fatebringer, Black Hammer, and Gjallerhorn and using them non-stop for weeks on end. It was a blast! But I think I’m having even more fun now. There’s a great set of exotics, many of which feel deadly and hyper effective in their own ways, with no lone item standing out above all the others.

I do wish the game was a little less stingy in handing out exotics, though. It’s a shame that there are all these great weapons and so few people get the chance to use most of them.

Congrats, that's the only Power Exotic I don't have.

I got the One -Eyed Mask for the Titan but that's about it, everything else has still been duplicates (1 or 2). Not nearly as nice as a drop rate as others are stating.

Playing a bit on my hunter this evening.... and I got Lucky Pants. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey, at least it wasn't a duplicate! Haha!

It felt like a gun straight out of Borderlands. Which is to say it was hell of a lot of fun to use. I honestly don't know how practical it is, but who can go wrong with a full auto shotgun with a magazine of 31? And then you add War Rigs too it and it goes for days. So many bullets that rivals Sweet Business.
