−
Engrams are categorized both by rarity and by slot, meaning that, for example, a '''Primary Legendary Engram''' will always decrypt into a '''Primary Weapon of Legendary rarity.''' The attack and defense values of the equipment obtained from an Engram is determined at the time of decryption and is based on the player's current overall light level. With few exceptions, Legendary engrams will attempt to produce equipment that is one to five levels higher than the player's overall light level at the time of decryption, capping at 390. Exotic Engrams follow the same rule and have a light level cap of 400.

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.
