Lemme tell you a little story about how I got my first exotic.
Dropped somewhere on the moon. I was SO stoked. I didn’t know what Xur was, barely had any strange coins, had barely finished the campaign and was just sorta wandering at the time.
Went to decode it and got Icebreaker. Cool! No idea what this is, guess I’ll use it.
20 minutes later I get frustrated because no one seems to be dropping green/secondary ammo? Yet my rifle always seems to have ammo. Hmm. (Reads weapon description more closely, gasps audibly, proceeds to tear the shit out of everything with that thing from that point forward).
