Patch History

• 7.1.0
  • We have added Exotic focusing options to Rahool:
    • Standard Decryption: Any Exotic engram can be decrypted into a random previously owned armor piece for free (current behavior).
    • Advanced Decryption: An Exotic engram can be focused into any armor from a specific expansion for a small cost. You must have previously acquired all Exotic armor for your class from an expansion to use this option.
    • Precision Decryption: An Exotic engram can be focused into a specific piece of armor you have previously acquired for a higher cost.
  • All Exotics from any source should now drop with higher average stats, and more frequent spikes.
  • Rewards for the Crucible Playlist Challenge, Weekly Strike Challenge, and Weekly Gambit Challenge have been changed to a Powerful focusable Exotic engram.
  • The following Exotic engram rewards have been changed from auto-decrypt to focusable:
    • Season Pass paid and free tracks
    • Vendor reputation tracks (after the first reset)
    • World drops
