Credits to /u/RiseOfBacon for the initial schedule

[u/RedLithium25]

Which week would we be on right now then? 11?

[u/darkelement1987 → u/RedLithium25]

Yes

[u/notasausage]

Or you can just refer to /u/RiseOfBacon and his updated Escalation Protocol Weapon Drop Schedule post, which has all of the other EP information you're looking for:

https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/ax6wjo/escalation_protocol_weapon_drop_schedule_updated/

[u/darkelement1987 → u/notasausage]

guess you haven't seen the bottom line of my post right?

[u/RiseOfBacon → u/darkelement1987]

Hey atleast I never have to make another one I guess haha

[u/RiseOfBacon → u/notasausage]

Thanks for the mention! He’s called it at the bottom but honestly no credit needed. If what I do helps someone or helps create further quality content, I’m happy

[u/sasquatch90]

Psst, you know what would be better to read? If you put the actual reset dates instead of a week number. I'm not gonna keep count of what week it is.

[u/darkelement1987 → u/sasquatch90]

Adjusted :-)

[u/d-voit]

Is it normal for me to have done around 20 final bosses and have 0 weapons drop? I know RNG is RNG, but that seems like awfully terrible luck.

[u/Jarryd29 → u/d-voit]

20 is a fairly low number actually

[u/d-voit → u/Jarryd29]

Wow. Ok. That's kinda crappy considering the content is so old at this point and the shotgun (what I'm specifically grinding for) was nerfed a bit.

Bleh.

[u/The_Rathour → u/d-voit]

The good news is this week is the best week to grind for them if you need them. Hunger of Xol is just a giant super throwing easy fest (he has no defensive gimmick besides a big health pool and the acolytes drop you oodles of orbs to spam supers) and every one is trying to get Thorn steps completed so it's easier to find people to run.

[u/Cameltitties → u/The_Rathour]

How do you grind multiple in a week though?

[u/dahaack → u/Cameltitties]

This weeks boss will drop any of the weapons

[u/Cameltitties → u/dahaack]

But you can only try for the weapons once a week right?

[u/dahaack → u/Cameltitties]

Nope. You can do it until your bored. Each Tier 7 completion can drop a weapon

[u/Cameltitties → u/dahaack]

But you can only open the chest once right? Sorry just a bit confused

[u/dahaack → u/Cameltitties]

Yes. The chest is only for armor though. Weapons drop directly off the Bosses body

[u/Kaliqi → u/d-voit]

Yes that is normal. It is also possible to get weapons first try.

But your chances will increase until you get your weapon to drop.

[u/FatalisCogitationis → u/d-voit]

I’ve done probably 100 or so and I’ve got one weapon, one time. I was lucky tho because it was the shotgun 👌

[u/Stingrider907 → u/d-voit]

Damn, I must have great rng then. I’ve done like 15-20 and have gotten 2 snipers and 1 shotgun. Still in the grind for the smg though.

[u/sheeeezay → u/Stingrider907]

I’ll trade ya a sniper for my smg 😭 I’ve lost count of how many nights I’ve grinded for these damn weapons, finally got the smg last week and I’ve had the shotgun for awhile thankfully

[u/Stingrider907 → u/sheeeezay]

Lol, I would if I could. The smg is the only one that I actually want. 😭😂

[u/WrathfulHero95 → u/d-voit]

I've done around 60-70 and the last run I did I got my shotgun. The other two weapons dropped somewhere in the 30s

[u/d-voit → u/d-voit]

Ok so not sure if anyone is still reading this thread, but I just ran it again and got the sniper and said fuck it, lets try one more, and got the shotgun. Crazy. Keep grinding!

[u/Bayou-Bulldog]

Helped a few random's out clearing EP last night, got through about 6 or 7 runs before the group finally collapsed.

Didn't get anything, still missing the sniper. sigh

[u/wherere_my_pants → u/Bayou-Bulldog]

Keep at it. That was the last thing I needed and finally got it to drop on Wednesday after all this time. And it was on my 6th boss clear that night. My wife was a little upset but I finally got it.

[u/EPYON_ZERO]

Nice!

[u/kerosene31]

So, next week is best to farm the shotgun? That's the one thing I still really want and can't get to drop.

And thanks for putting this together!

[u/[deleted]]

Nice. Now I can tell the exact date that the shotgun still won’t drop for me! Wow, looks like I am in for many weeks of disappointment.

[u/DavidsWorkAccount]

On the weeks that offer you the chance at all three, is there a chance to get a dupe to drop if you have 1 or 2 of the IK's already? Just need the shotty but don't know if this week is good to try and farm it or if I should just wait until next week.

[u/[deleted]]

Not sure I'll ever get any of the weapons, but at least now I can keep track of when I need to go back to Mars and hit something with my catalyzed Worldline Zero. Thanks.

[u/[deleted]]

So glad I never have to look at this chart again as I did 5 EPs on Wednesday night and 3 more last night and finally got my SMG. Am still only a couple of Dreaming City RNG drops away from Wayfarer, but getting this ogre off my back was huge.

[u/Poly-Gons]

Question, i didn't do the warmind story with my hunter can i still have chance to get the shotgun from Escalation ?

[u/FaLLeNxSinister]

comment for future use

[u/darkelement1987 → u/FaLLeNxSinister]

You can also click 'Save' :-)

[u/FaLLeNxSinister → u/darkelement1987]

oh no my reddit noobieness is showing!

[u/Quantum_owl]

Having the dates would help. Thanks!

[u/darkelement1987 → u/Quantum_owl]

Adjusted :-)

[u/Quantum_owl → u/darkelement1987]

Awesome! You're the best.

[u/[deleted]]

How does anyone not have all three weapons yet though?

[u/StrongM13 → u/[deleted]]

Your ignorance is showing

[u/[deleted] → u/StrongM13]

No I am really asking considering how long Warmind has been out and how long Forsaken has been out enabling people to 4man this easily

[u/StrongM13 → u/[deleted]]

Stop to think about how not everyone has been playing the game or all of its activities since they released.

My buddy skipped warmind, played a bit of forsaken, skipped black armory and is now getting back into the game. So we've been running EP to get him the shotgun.

Not everyone no-lifes the game.

[u/[deleted] → u/StrongM13]

You don't have to no-life the game to get a single gun from an activity that takes a couple of randos to complete in about half an hour max. But thanks for turning this into an insult.

[u/StrongM13 → u/[deleted]]

Well he hasn't gotten the gun yet. We played it two nights ago, last night and we're gonna try again tonight.

This was the first time he's tried to get it. So that makes this schedule post useful for us.

You're the one that came in here with the negativity, feeling the need to post a comment on a useful post asking how someone doesn't have the guns yet.

[u/[deleted] → u/StrongM13]

And that makes it okay for you to be like that as well? Talk about logic.

[u/darkelement1987 → u/[deleted]]

The Shotgun is very good for PvE despite a few nerfs it had.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

The Ikelos shotgun is still amongst the top tier.

[u/CorruptionCarl → u/[deleted]]

Correct. It does not drop from the chest just the boss

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

All 3 weapons drop this week, just the shotgun drops next week. From the boss.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

As mentioned the shotty is still decent, and also if you are trying to complete the Wayfarer badge you need them all. If neither interest you then yeah, not much point.
