Wait a minute, so you don't have to get kills with it? Just have it equipped in your slot but you can use grenades/supers/melee/heavy/specials?
Correct, you also apparently get bonus points gor headshots and kill streaks.
Is it just me or are the exotic drops quite heavily biased towards year one weapons at the moment. (when a weapon drops which seem to be about 1:4 in favour of armour).
I got invective and hawkmoon and others on here seem to have got quite a few year one weapons as well. Perhaps this was intentional from Bungie. Exotics in the first few weeks are more likely to drop old weapons but year 2 versions and they can then patch it to change that.
That makes sense, there are only a handful of ttk exotics that will drop and loads of year 2 old exotics so balance of probability is you will get year 2 versions.
