Hello fellow destiny gamers.
I like you to share you my secret by getting the best rewards doing nightfall or weekly heroic strikes.
When the final boss is 1 shot, you have to go back to the orbit.
Not all players because if you do then you have to redo everthing again.
One player go to orbit then rejoin.
Then the other player goes to the orbit then rejoin.
Doing this, will reset your kills, deaths, and play time... well actually everything.
Here is the trick. You get the best reward by completing the nightfall or weekly heroic strikes as fast as possible.
I've tested this several times with my friends.
Last week, i did nightfall solo. When the boss was one shot, i asked 2 friends to join me.
When they joined, i killed the boss and the game ended.
I got 6 strange coins.
My friend got 6 ascendant shards and 6 ascendant energy.
My other friend got a legendary engram or exotic. i don't remember anymore.
This week tried doing it again but this time i went back to orbit too and rejoined the team.
I really don't remember what my friends got but i do remember getting the Exotic Hard Light weapon.
--Edit--
This is not a troll thread/post. I am not joking about the fact that you can actually get better stuff by having your progress reset.
Most of you say it's all random or same RNG, but no.. it's not in Nightfall.
If it doesn't work the first time getting an exotic weapon by going to the orbit and rejoining back doesn't mean it doesn't work.

Edited by Llohr: 1/21/2015 9:27:39 PMI hate to say it, but this jives well with my experience, and if it were really true it would mean the nightfall works exactly the opposite of the way it should work. Have seen a player hop in at the last moment, to the extent that all he saw was a black screen, and get a gjallarhorn. I always stick through it from beginning to end, and have only gotten one exotic so far. This week's rewards: ascendant materials twice (like we don't have enough already) and "The Devil You Don't" legendary hand cannon (crap). Last week, ascendant materials, legendary sniper, ascendant materials. Etc. Every week I have a jump-in at the last minute for at least one of the three runs, and nine times out of ten, they get an exotic. I know it's anecdotal and not nearly conclusive, but it only takes three examples to make a pattern, and I've got a lot more than three, so I can say, at least, that the nightfall has exhibited a pattern of giving the best rewards to the least contributing players.
