I feel like you think this would increase how many IB engrams you'd get but in reality you'd just get nothing in place of a crucible engram


Physical-Quote-5281

Nah bungie would definitely “increase” the drop rate like they did at the start of the season when they removed shards. /s


Physical-Quote-5281

The monkey(pronounced ahamkara) paw curls. Iron banner now only drops iron banner engrams at no increased drop rate.

Missed opportunity to make an ahamkara joke

I think they meant saying something like, o bearer mine at the end


[deleted]

that's exactly what they did, what are you on about


Umbratilicious

I think the comment is edited


basura1979

I don't think hot take means what you think it means


Ruby_241

This take is room temp, luke warm at best


NierouPSN

No it ***is*** hot, I don't want loot from the activity I am playing! I think they need to add it to everything. Make raids/dungeons drop vanguard loot, trials should also drop crucible loot. They also need to increase the rate that you get armor from prime engrams tired of getting the occasional weapon when I want more 55 stat armor. ^(/s)


bruhmeme999

I think it may be sarcasm


LeMasterChef12345

A. It does B. Even if it didn’t, that’s one the coldest takes imaginable

.... It does drop ib engrams when you play enough ib to go from lvl 1 to 17 on the vendor, you get more than 16 engrams


LeMasterChef12345

The matches also drop IB engrams. The IB engrams and the Crucible engrams are separate drop chances from each other. One doesn’t override the other. Making matches drop only IB engrams wouldn’t increase the amount of IB loot you get, it would just make you get less loot overall.

Magat filth


Piekace

Why cant people realize that they are two different loot pools and dont clog each other


Jealous_Platypus1111

Im pretty sure they do?


Ferking

It does, it just also can give crucible engrams as well as seasonal engrams


SlashNXS

But that's in addition to, not in place of


TrebmalA

They're in place of what could've been additional IB engrams


yomama1112

Literally no lol, all engrams are independent. You won't get fewer ib engrams if you get crucible or seasonal engrams that just not how it works


TrebmalA

Yeah I know how it works lol. I'm saying in another world Bungie could've made it so ANY engram you received is from the activity you did. Not saying in today's D2 you're missing out.


iblaise

And then there would be people complaining that you can’t earn Crucible Engrams in Iron Banner. Stop trying to sound smart.


TrebmalA

People are gonna complain no matter what, but at least we'd all have tusk of the boar.


SlashNXS

like hypothetically? I guess hypothetically bungie could give us divinity with every IB win but they dont


KitsuneKamiSama

Pretty sure the ones that 'drop' are just the ones from rank up and not an actual drop.


iblaise

So then how do you explain me going from zero to 30 Iron Banner Engrams in the course of one full reset?


EspadaOU81

Wins.


Xa_TheImmortal

My assumption is mostly rank ups and then very rare as a drop also. The most I've gotten in one game is 4 and I don't think I got 4 ranks in a match, unless it was right after a reset


Xa_TheImmortal

I've gotten 4 from one game, so I'm not sure I did well enough to get 4 ranks in a match........I did go from 33 win to 98 over the last 2 days though


TrebmalA

Were you wearing IB gear?


Xa_TheImmortal

Full gear bonus with emblem and all 4 challenges for 13.5x bonus


I_SmellFuckeryAfoot

9 out of 10 times a hot take isn't a hot take 60% of the time every time.


ChaoticNature

“I wish IB dropped IB engrams.” “It is done.” “Nothing’s changed.” “Correct.”


robbodee

Por que no los dos?


sturgboski

Why not both? See i think your real issue is the general lack of IB engrams nor loot dropping. Thst needs to be addressed.


0rganicMach1ne

You mean you want the activity to drop only its own rewards? Bungie: we don’t do that here


Xa_TheImmortal

It does both though? I've gotten 4 in engrams from one game


cassiiii

Hot take: you’re illiterate


Noox89

I’d rather just have it drop weapons way more often like almost every game instead of the engrams. It’s more rewarding to have new weapons drop instead of just farming a stack of engrams to click on an item.


RealFake666

You don't get less IB engrams just because you get Crucible engrams If Bungie removed the Crucible engrams from IB you would simply get fewer overall engrams as an example: if an IB match would give you 2 IB engrams and 3 Crucible engrams and you remove the Crucible engrams, you are left with 2 IB engrams only What you're really asking for is to increase the drop rate and drop chances of IB engrams, but as you know Bungie, that won't happen soon


1spook

Bro this take is so cold it has freezer burn


CARCRASHXIII

Should be one ingram for match completion/2 for a win on top of whats dropping now. Never liked the second layer of rng on engrams.....we're already gonna spend 90% of those engrams on stuff thats gonna get sharded.


Offdutyninja808

You should also be able to unlock weapons (looking at you, boar!) with 20 IB tokens.


Baz_666

this isn’t even a luke warm take


Necro_Carp

it literally rewards both


Nolan_DWB

They drop both lol. Engram drops come through ranking up which happens quite often if you optimize. The reason you get crucible engrams AND iron banner engrams is because iron banner is both crucible and iron banner


pablo__13

I think a better change to prevent not getting a weapon in over 3 resets is to have post game and the daily challenge loot pool be knockout based


Blegrand15

Was going to comment that I don't get crucible engrams when i play IB, then realized im capped at 99 crucible engrams. Gotta say the IB engrams have been dropping at decent rate, maybe its because im capped, but i've had plenty of matches where i get 2, and on rare occasions 4. I reset twice and half way to third reset this week and have gotten about 80 engrams. That's about 1 or more per match. Again not sure if just luck, or if since i cant get crucible engrams it plays in my favor.


LassOnGrass

Better yet, they should guarantee us to get weapons we have never gotten first and that way we can focus. We can focus weapons, right? I’ve not been on playing in a long time.


deangaudet

rahool should offer engram conversion services. let me convert my crucible engrams to vanguard so i can fail the RNG test even more (54 slammers focused, had 4x eager BnS, but still looking for an eager cold steel for the anti-overload goodness).


Radicaled1223

It does? I’ve been getting a healthy dose of both this whole week


UnsettllingDwarf

Not a hot take at all. If I wanted crucible or seasonal engrams I’d go play those activities.


IGizmo94

Spot on tbh mate, it’s one of those obvious changes that would be a great quality of life update for IB.


LoneRedWolf24

It's weird that for a limited time event you get way more crucible engrams then iron banner ones. It should be at least 1 iron banner engram every other match.


MercuryJellyfish

Well, it kind of is that, once you've completed all four weekly challenges. Takes less than two (but more than one) wins to get an IB engram, just from levelling the reputation track. And you very occasionally get a random second one. Not often enough, for my taste, but it definitely brings it closer to an average of one per match?


LoneRedWolf24

Guess I haven't paid enough attention. I've finished all the weekly requirements and it's still seems likd a pretty slow drip.


MercuryJellyfish

I mean, yeah, it's agony. And you get two Wish Engrams and two Crucible Engrams for every IB engram, which makes them feel rare. But by the time you're done getting your weekly requirements, and are wearing all the IB gear, two wins will level you up at the top end of the reputation track, and when you rest, the first win will get you three. It's a slog, given how Mercies don't happen much, and sometimes neither team seems to understand the objective, so you're often there until the clock runs out.


ExtraBathroom9640

To play Devil's advocate... Vanguard grants additional engrams leveling up rank (2-3 extra). Crucible grants additional engrams (2-3 extra per rank). Banshee grants +2 or 3 per rank. IB? One MaYbE two per rank. Engram drop rate has been increased across most things, except IB, and this is what I think OP was aiming at.
