Is Legend Onslaught REALLY The Best Way To Farm?

Legend Onslaught has been widely touted as the best way to farm for brave weapons and trophies. But has anyone actually tallied up all of our rewards in both Legend and Normal onslaught since bungie made both of them more rewarding. So that's what we're doing today and I think you'll be surprised to see how these numbers pan out

Is Legend Onslaught REALLY The Best Way To Farm?

Did you know Normal Onslaught was so rewarding?

[evilpac]

I actually play normal. I don´t have the patience to make the extra effort, nor people to play with. So at the end of the day I just run a normal onslaught, maybe two, and go to bed quite happy. It is quite good we have the chance to play how we prefer, I kinda admire people that farm legend mode, but that't not for me.

You are not getting Alloys because you are capped at 30.
This activity drops Alloys, not Shards.

I got some beef on luna howl drop
Who giving me exactly 10 magnficent heal clip, 12 enligthenmet action incadescent and not a single incadescent heal clip roll
Its been like more than a week straight up farming it
Petition of making luna howl enligthenment incadescent a old edge transit meme

Been playing normal causally the past 3 weeks and been getting pretty much all the guns I want. Definitely a viable way without any stresses

[peterjohnstone]

13 shiny weapons weapons zero Legend clears. Bang bang

[Dmaz]

would consider myself as a highend PVE player, having cleared multiple day ones and summed up over 4000 hours on steam alone I can confidently say that I would just farm normal mode.
legend can get pretty annoying if multiple smaller mistakes happen, just throw on a video or show on another screen and grind away. don't let anybody gaslight you into thinking you're wasting time and drops by not doing legend.

great video

I've played ITL on a few different accounts and I've noticed the game gives you shinies on your early runs of Onslaught (after you finish the shiny weapon bounties) for about 3-4 drops. Sometimes even getting the drops within the same wave 50 run, afterwhich the drop rate plummets.
It's as though the game baits you by giving you shiny luck in the beginning to get you and keep you hooked for the rest of the update- if that is the case, that's next level shade

I feel like just farming normal 50 is a more consistent baseline stream of loot. You don't even need that good of a team to be clearing normal 50 quickly, while legend 50 you don't always get the full clear even good teams sometimes wipe, waves/boss round can take longer which can be a net loss over an extended period of time.

The additional effort and risk in Legend is just nort worth the extra items compared to normal, normal also has matchmaking making it all in all just way more aproachable in my opinion, solid video pal

[GammonMaster-PcP]

Good comparison
Adding to the math, doing regular is a a higher percentage of wins and less time, if you factor in a wipe on legend, for a casual player
Also helps if you don’t have a fireteam to play with or just don’t want to

Helpful vid, thanks 👌

[NiLaCreated]

Looking forward to the updated version of this with the double drop rates

[xrainmank]

I think you counted the weekly rewards in normal onslaught and did not count the weekly rewards in legend onslaught. Ain't no way you get just 2 less weapons in normal / legend. It should be at least a difference of 5, per 5 bosses

[janktron]

You don't get ascendant shards from onslaught, you get alloys. And you guaranteed 1 at 40 and 50. You were capped so none dropped

[thisisthebeginning]

Great topic for a upload. Normal Onslaught is more "Rewarding" because Less time, Stress of finding a fireteam and greater chance of succeeding 50 waves. And Ive found just as many Shiny weapons in Normal mode and found MORE Shiny weapons from In game drops than from exchanging Trophies from the chest.

[robmarney]

Normal Onslaught is a great activity for Fireteam Finder. Your functional build can carry 2 blueberries who are completing their gunsmith bounties or whatever, and you still get a ton of drops.

[subzero]

I feel anything that isnt matchmaking should automatically give u asendant shards as rewards we should really get them from just playing the game doing anything.

[dancecultnoir]

During Iron Banner it was hard to do a Normal 50 wave in Midtown as people kept bailing before Wave 10. So I did '10 waves' on repeat and got a god roll Luna from the coins I collected (after 2 hours). Crazy!

[Karandar]

Thank you for the work and info here! - As to Mat farming - COIL Platinum are VASTLY more rewarding. so Regular onslaughts for the weapon farming, and a few Coil runs to prep for Final shape

[machinegunhunt]

Already got my 50 wave emblem. Normal for now on
