Is it possible? Do you get old guns and not new ones? Or am I wasting my time trying?
Edit: it is confirmed you can not get old weapons any longer. All enemy dropped engrams are post HoW regardless of playlist, and endgame rewards are old ARMOR engrams only.

Don't try, you don't get weapon engrams from vanguard tiger, only armor engrams
-
In the case anybody still doubts or is curious. I turned in a blue engram I found from leveling up a new character through TDB missions and it turned into against all odds. So you can still get them, just not 100% if the strike playlist will give them

Got a vanilla warlock gauntlet today off tiger strikes, check my warlock out

I got the dust walker gauntlets from a rare engram.... From a golden chest.... Reasons undisclosed ;)

I've been testing this for a while now. Blue engram DROPS (as in from enemies) will decrypt to HoW gear if they become legendary. End game rewards (reward screen at the end of strikes) are where you may get an old armor piece from an engram. Unfortunately, weapon engrams do not drop as loot in the reward screen

You have to get really lucky, i got a legendary engram from a roc strike hoping for a tdb weapon and got something from HoW
-
Before HouseOfWolves, there were reports of people getting old loot, I'm unsure if it's still possible but I'll post just to bump this
-
You gotta get lucky enough to have a blue engram turn into a purple weapon/armor.

Don't try, you don't get vanilla weapon engrams from vanguard tiger

Keep trying, it's a long hard (lol) process but it'll reward you (lol) eventually!
-
You can indeed get vanilla weapons. Just looked it up.

Tiger strikes give old blues, which have a chance to give old legendaries. Good luck guardian!
