I don’t know about everyone else, but Prime engrams could use a little bit of a rework itself.
Why aren’t they tied to the activity that you got them in?
Say you’re in the dreaming city and a prime engram drops, it could be tied in with the Dreaming City loot table.
Same thing with Gambit, Crucible, Raids and Strikes, kinda like how the old clan engrams used to work.
It would be a lot better than getting scatterhorn armor constantly. Or your 1,000th bad reputation.
Just a thought.
Edit: This would also help out with infusion, reducing the cost of cores. I.e. infusing a more powerful Prime engram rewarded bygones into a lower leveled better bygones wouldn’t take cores to infuse.

Well while it sounds like a good idea on paper, the premise of prime engrams is to give you a power bump not give particular gear. You can just level up infamy for Gambit gear as well as do bounties. Same with Crucible. Strikes are strikes and getting strike gear isn't hard but probably if you are bad with rng it is. Raids sounds a little weird since how would that work? If you could get raid gear without needing to complete encounters or open chests. It could help with rng on raid gear but it could get to the point people just wait till their primes build up go into a raid and just keep farming primes till they get all the gear without even really needing to do the raid itself.
