Engrams are unidentified loot items randomly dropped by enemies or awarded from missions such as Strikes in Destiny. Players can bring the Engrams to the 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. Very rarely engrams will contain additional items such as glimmer, Ascendant Energy and Ascendant Shard.
- Majors and Ultras enemies have greater odds of dropping engrams.
Engrams can be purchased directly from Cryptarch. As your reputation with Cryptarch increases, you can purchase rarer Engrams.
- Each Engram is of a specific rarity, indicated by its color, and contains a specific type of weapon or slot of armor.
- Note that Engrams sometimes contain items of a different rarity. IT is possible to decipher a less or more rare item.
