Jumped on this morning for a quick Strike mission before i went out. Picked up a Legendary Engram during the mission and then a blue Engram at the end of the strike. Decrypted the blue first and it was a strange coin...... thought oh great this purple will be absolute trash.
Oh how wrong i was
Boy oh boy wow wee Darce. Massive upgrade over my lvl 18 uncommon auto rifle. So glad i got an auto, all my blues have been pulse or scout rifles.
Strikes are definitely better for loot, you get blues dropping during the strike at least 80% of the time and everyone gets stuff at the end. Not to mention all the uncommon crap you pick up during the strike can be broken down into materials for your upgrades.
Game is starting to grow on me.
