Destiny: 200 strike project reveals loot drop secrets

How often do you get exotic drops from the Roc strike playlist? Two players completed 200 levels to get the stat, plus tons more info.

Reddit poster beeray784 and his roommate completed 200 strikes from the Roc playlist, the level 26 option made available with the Dark Below DLC, producing tons of data on the frequency at which the strikes were offered and the overall level of reward.

The message is clear: Destiny will give you all the gear you need provided you play it enough. And by "enough," we mean "forever". Want an exotic weapon drop? Just complete 50 top-level strikes. It might happen!

Here's the breakdown. The loot stats are based purely off rewards given on completion of the strike, and don't include drops from in-level enemies. There's some fascinating insight here.
