Engrams are also found as [[loot]], and appear as colored crystals on the ground (white for encoded, green for encrypted, blue for decoherent, purple for legendary, yello for exotic). Enemies may drop them randomly, or they may be picked up from boss encounters or inside chests. Any engrams that the player hasn't picked up may show up in the [[Postmaster]]'s office.

==Decoding Engrams==
==Decoding Winners==
Engrams have a chance of being decoded into an item that is higher or the same quality as the engram itself. 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]].
