I learned with this game don't depend on anything to drop. You're better off spending the vanguard or crucible marks on legendary items you need.

Strange coin is easy to come by, so no reason to not have an exotic primary. You can only equip one exotic armor and one exotic weapon. Wait until you see a good one when Xur has it for sale on the weekend and just buy it.

I do feel you on the MCC though. I'll prob put destiny away until the dlc drops.
