Here is what we have:

  • Legacy Weapon Engram: Heavy
  • An Insurmountable Skullfort
  • Knucklehead Radar
  • Claws of Ahamkara
  • Exotic Arm engrams


Nothing special here really, I would go in the following order:

1. Exotic engrams if you are shooting for certain arms

2. Claws of Ahamkara - Great for Crucible (Flame Shield, Extended Thunderstrike FTW)

3. An insurmountable Skullfort - Can't go wrong with this solid Titan Helmet. plus it has lights!

4. Legacy Heavy Weapon Engram - Better than Knucklehead Radar

5. Knucklehead Radar - A fine paperweight

Popping an armgram...maybe a legacy...but mostly three of coins. ;-)

Got a sexy Y2 SUROS last time.

Three of Coins or nothing.

I bought glove engrams.

With Iron Banner coming up I wanted to get my Ahamkara's Spine to a higher light level. Since I can equip stuff to be over 300, those glove engrams turned into 310 gloves that I could use to infuse.

I like that I don't feel forced to run the raid to hit max level. With this system you could just farm Three of Coins and hit it. Not that I don't like the raid, but it's just nice to have alternative routes.

Question about Engrams

by Beorn @, <End of Failed Timeline>, Friday, October 09, 2015, 12:14 (3573 days ago) @ bluerunner

If your Light is over 300 (i.e., 301+), do exotic engrams always drop at ✦310? Or is it a random chance to drop at 310, but some still show up at ✦290?

It's just a random chance from what I've been able to tell.

310 for drops, 290 for xur engrams

by slycrel ⌂, Friday, October 09, 2015, 12:17 (3573 days ago) @ Beorn

3 of coins is still your friend.

If my light is 300+ I've never not had a 3 of coins exotic drop not be 310. That's probably 5-6 exotics for me. Could be a lucky streak I guess tho.

I feel like I've had Xur Engrams at 310

I got 310 from Xur engrams.

That was the whole point of my post. I bought glove engrams from Xur that decrypted as 310.

Interesting, I've picked up probably 7-10 engrams from xur, never have they been 310. Maybe I'm doing it wrong. =)

You gotta be over 300, not 300 itself. Maybe that's it?

It's definitely only a chance.

I always spec over 300, I have gotten a handful of 310's, but more often they are 290.

I'm pretty careful about that. Week 1 maybe, not mostly tho

Last weekend I got 4 STAGs in a row from helmet engrams. Two were 310, two were 290. I also got a 310 Knucklehead and a 310 Mask of the Third Man.

Confirmed, I got 3 310 arms from Xur engrams.

Skullfort + Sunbreaker = Invincibility

by someotherguy, Hertfordshire, England, Friday, October 09, 2015, 12:17 (3573 days ago) @ TheeChaos

Spec Stoke the Forge and Cauterise. Anything that dies to a punch will heal you and fully recharge both melee charges.

Bonus points if you have armour with Increased Super or Grenade Energy from melees.

Knuclehead Radar is awesome for PvP

If you PvP as a hunter, this is your friend, big time.

by TheeChaos @, Friday, October 09, 2015, 13:15 (3573 days ago) @ Kahzgul

It serves its purpose, I Thnk that if it applied to ALL weapons, it would be worth it. The fact that it only works on Primary kind of kills it since alot of my go to primaries (messenger) have Third Eye.

I'll be using Red Death in IB and Trials, and I'm happy to have a Knucklehead Radar around for that.

I already have Insurmountable Skullfort and the Claws so thought I'd try my luck with the gauntlet engrams. Decoded them both and they both turned to the Claws of Ahamkara. And to addinsult to injury the stats were terrible as well.

Good ol' Destiny :)

I was tired and hadnt had my coffee yet this morning, bought the claws, then i bought 5 engrams. 4 of which were claws.

Can I get Y2 Nothing Manacles yet? I don't have Y1 yet!

Heavy Weapon Engrams

by MacAddictXIV @, Seattle WA, Saturday, October 10, 2015, 14:17 (3572 days ago) @ TheeChaos

So I went to Xur and opened him up so ready to stock up on 3 of Coins. Then I saw the Heavy Engrams and I flipped my lid! I wanted three of coins so I got some of them and had enough for two Heavy Engrams! I was so stoked that I trotted my way back to the cryptarc. I must have been walking up the stairs when I just stopped because I remembered that the Heavy engrams were Year One... I then sat down and cried a little.

The only plus side to this is that I decrypted them and immediately sharded them which got my the heavy weapon component I needed for the Sleeper Quest.

Yeah, spent 2/3 of my coins on those two engrams.
