That item will almost always correspond to the type of Engram it comes from; the exception to this is that sometimes a Rare Engram will decode into a [[Mote of Light]] or [[Strange Coin]] instead. Also, certain items will never be decoded from an engram and can only be acquired a certain way; this applies to any item acquired through a [[Raid]], Exotic [[Bounty]], the [[Iron Banner]], [[Trials of Osiris]], or as a reward for a [[Story mission]]. | Engrams have a chance of being decoded into an item that is higher or the same quality as the Engram itself.
