Hi there everyone,
Check out the video for details on how you can increase the amount of times you have a chance to get an exotic weapon to drop in the raids by 75%. The video isn't long, it is just under four minutes.
The average endgame player at this point will have three 32's and do the raids on hard for each character. So by doing that, you get 6 chances from VoG and 6 chances from CE giving the average endgame person 12 chances per week for exotic weapons.
By using this method and hitting the exotic chances on normal first then on hard you increase the number of times you have a chance at exotic weapons for VoG from 6 up to 12 and for CE from 6 up to 9. This gives you 9 chances more than the 12 the average endgame player hits. 9 is 75% of 12. Therefore, this increases your chance at exotics from the raid by 75%.
Edit: for all the people saying you can not get drops twice from the exotic chest in VoG. Here is a link to a uncut video showing that you can get drops from the chest first on normal then again on hard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hV5XbhQ3KCU
Edit 2: This method of doing normal first then doing it on hard to increase your drops only really applies to exotics. If you are going for raid weapons or armor, depending what it is you are going for should dictate what type of run you are doing. For anything from VoG I recommend just running hard. For armor from CE run the abyss and bridge on normal first then hard. For secondary and heavy weapons from CE beat Crota on normal. If you just want primaries from CE then just do CE on hard.
Edit 3: I got proof of getting an exotics off of normal first then on hard. You can click here to check out the proof video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCnndBHvGgo
