Engrams are unidentified loot [[items]] randomly dropped by [[enemies]] or awarded from [[Game Modes|missions]] such as [[Strikes]] in Destiny. Players can bring the Engrams to the [[NPCs|NPC]] [[Cryptarch]] in [[The Tower]] to decipher the Engrams and recover the [[weapons]], [[armor]] and other items within. Deciphering Engrams also increases your [[Crypto-Archaeology Reputation]]. Sometimes engrams will yield [[material]] items such as [[Ascendant Energy]], [[Ascendant Shard]], [[Motes of Light]] and [[Strange Coins]] with [[rarities]] corresponding to the rarity of Engrams.

General Information

Overview

Engrams are unidentified loot items randomly dropped by enemies or awarded upon completion of various activities in Destiny. Players can bring Engrams to a Cryptarch to have them deciphered and reveal their contents. Deciphering Engrams also increases the player's Crypto-Archaeology Reputation. Occasionally, Engrams will decrypt into Strange Coins or Motes of Light. With a few exceptions, Engrams adhere to the following rules when being decrypted:

Decrypting Algorithm

  • Engrams will attempt to decrypt with an Attack/Defense value one to five points greater than the player's overall Light Level at the time of decryption.
  • Rare engrams will decrypt with an Attack/Defense value no greater than 385.
  • Legendary engrams will decrypt with an Attack/Defense value no greater than 390.
  • Exotic engrams will decrypt with an Attack/Defense value no greater than 400.
  • Exotic Engrams will only drop from Ultras or upon conclusion of a Crucible match, and only if a Three of Coins has been used.
  • Once a player has reached character level 40, all Encrypted engrams that he/she obtains from that point forward will automatically be converted into Weapon Parts or Armor Materials.
