I have deleted over 10 shiny weps (all the curated ones).. probably much higher.. so I am going to describe the way I play and see if that differs greatly from you because I am getting drops. I have 3 shiny weapons kept (2 meh elsie's.. and one 4/5 Midnight Coup PVP godroll [thank all the worm gods])
Almost 99% of play > 50 wave matchmade regulars all maps > no cheeses + no cheatses + reviving & helping teammates + grabbing and using scrap + achieving all the little challenges mostly (pyramid mote scraps sometimes gets hectic) + trying out odd assortment of weapons and builds never tried before.. completing 50 wave ~70% of time without a ADU fail.. rate goin up over time.
If I have annoying bounties to get rid of thats the 10 wave playlist.. but the first rounds of 50 wave onslaught allow for that too.
Its (Onslaught) a very fun activity for me (I'm a Control bum usually) but.. it has lost excitement because can't rank up Shax.. and multiply the engrams.. it has lost the raining down awards factor.. in that aspect.. but...but > I think if you extend the boss phases just killing as many enemies as possible.. I think that is the way to maybe get rewards? I do this easier with Well of Radiance and Heir Apparent (has a Shield and melts everything) but other stuff works.
I think that RNG can be a fun factor but to mitigate its risks you allow attunement in everything AND you rain down opportunities to play the RNG. I am all for large perk pools and Magazine/Barrels/Sights even(I like testing those out in PVP)... if you just rain down the engrams.
I wrote an essay but I love you all.

Hey I wrote an essay too!😂 Cool. Yeah, the past couple nights I've done the 10 round. Wanted to test. Been doing alot of the 50. I've completed through wave 50, and oddly enough my only shiny drops? The 10 round. Basically I do what you do. I save my upgrades for the turrets mainly, and then the decoy. Usually I use Graviton or Sunshot with Stasis Hunter. Knucklehead damage buff PvE side is great. No need for the radar, but I keep it for the extra damage. It gets pretty wild with those, but clears ads like no tomorrow. You gotten the Tormentor/super super mode? I had it once and it was kind of great, but I don't recall it dropping anything special. That would be cool though. I do enjoy Onslaught. The first activity I've really enjoyed in awhile.

[quote]Hey I wrote an essay too!😂[/quote] Haha true dat I am the same with the upgrades for turrets and decoys.. but actually I'm starting to reverse that.. decoys (when they don't just warp to the ADU) are very strong.. and endgame when a lot has been leveled.. the tripwires def help... I guess we are kinda playing D2 Tower defense :) I play a light-based Warlock and so thats a simple (Nez's sin, Crown of tempests, Sunbracer or just tried Phoenix Protocol for the 1st time ...not bad) In the 1st week I once got a 3 Tormentor thing during a regular phase.. and there was one of those super multiple Tormentor boss fights but yeah nothing special because of that. I honestly think the RNG is literally just playing Dice and dropping things randomly.. forced to drop attuned things against its will, lol..

Those Shaxx decoys are pretty great. I'll utilize the trip mines sometimes. Not nearly as often though. Most of the time we can keep the ADU down pretty well. Been a couple unlucky wipes😂. I know one thing that can be a little frustrating after a few, is when teammates draw the Tormentors towards the ADU. I try to run around the outside and keep the Tormentor draw, or at least ping pong it out, but it is pretty hectic post 30, so its bound to not go as planned from time to time. Its not too bad though. I totally thought I was going to hate this mode before it came out too. Man, I was wrong as hell.
