Summary :

With this patch, we address some widely-discussed concerns with how Engrams are earned and claimed. Strikes have become more rewarding, and the rewards gained from them are more predictable. Also affected is the rotation of maps that appear in the Crucible.





Cryptarch

Legendary (purple) engrams will always produce a Legendary quality item or higher



Note: Legendary engrams that exist in your inventory will change to Rare quality items when the patch is applied. However, decoding these engrams will still produce the same results as before

Rare (blue) engrams will always produce a Rare quality item or higher



Chance for Legendary gear increased

Materials: Ascendant Shards and Ascendant Energy promoted to Legendary quality (from Rare quality)







Rewards

Rare (Blue) and Legendary (Purple) Engram drops added to the potential rewards for:



Vanguard: Tiger Strike Playlist



Daily Heroic Missions (first time per day)



Weekly Heroic Missions (first time per week)

Known issues



When selecting a higher difficulty for daily missions, XP Bonus not show in the reward display



You will still get the XP bonus, you just won't see it in the UI
