Mythical and Exotic Drop Rates

#1

Now they’ve (allegedly) added all new goodies to the Field Lockers, you’d think the odds at getting something other than dupes would be better…and we were led to believe also that they had improved the drop rates for Exotic and Mythical items.

I’m seeing no evidence of this.

Are we playing a grinding game, or an action game? I shouldn’t be expected to grind hundreds of matches to be able to afford field lockers only then to get screwed over by poor drop rates.

It used to feel great getting a mythical knife shader, but now anyone can buy them. So why haven’t you extended the same luxury to Predator players regarding those mythical trophies?? You could price them at 75,000VT even, I’d pay that for the flintlock pistol all day.

All I see is stupid low tier gun shaders and outfit shaders that are for below level 100.

Has anyone unlocked any of the new items yet? Spartan Helmet, which is a female exclusive, is the FT equivalent of the 87 Mask I’m guessing…

They need to scrap field lockers for an actual progression system.

That would be preferable for sure. Actually earning the Predator trophies would be a much better experience.

Personally I’d like my victories as a Predator to be rewarded with more than just XP/VT. Skulls should be like currency, that you can use to unlock cosmetics with.

Or have something come from long claims other then a game trophy making risking them so much more rewarding, the dup rate on field lockers sucks my balls I’ve bought more of the unlocks with straight V then waste anytime on them those things are last in my list to get what’s in them but they don’t say anything about the FL situation at all at least nothing that seems verifiable

Yes I would support this new addition to the currency.
But that begs the question how much would skulls and spines be worth if converted into V

Quick claim 250, long claim 500.

Id honestly be completely fine with the way the field lockers are if you could actually buy every single item in it with your veritanium. As it is the only items you cannot buy are the Trophies fro the Predator which of course are the most sought out items. Yet the drop rate for these mythical items is incredibly low and now there are already a ton of mythical items that you can purchase (knife shaders etc) so that also lessens your chance of getting a mythical trophy. I have finally gotten my first mythical trophy after i would say about 2-3k field lockers total. Just let me buy the damn trophies with the ingame currency!

I was maybe thinking 500 would be the quick claim

500 for QC, and 750 for Long Claim.

if we made QC and LC’s worth straight VT we’d have to make sure they can’t earn more than FT as it is one of the core reasons illfonic uses to make people play them as it stands in most games if a FT is farming out VT they could get as much as 2.2k or at least around 650 if they are making an effort to pick them up

so if there are potentially 7 people they could claim
the most reasonable of how much something should be worth would actually be QC 100-200 LC would be probably 500 since it’s the most dangerous thing but they get one guarentee’d in each game with whoever is last alive

one thing we also could consider is should PMC skulls be worth VT? like say each PMC skull is worth 100 so that predators have a reason to kill them over the FT or at least help the FT because they want the skull
you could also run into bad actors where in PM’s they farm out VT by letting the predator always get long claims with this system

That’d be a bit much don’t you think, I mean let’s say you get 7 quick claims @ 500 a skull you’ll end up with 3,500 whereas the FT would only get 1000+ only if they looked for VT.

The skulls being worth VT is based on the premise that Predator trophies are able to be purchased like mythical knife variants.

#13

even then i think that’s unnecessary as a mythic is 25k which isn’t that hard to come by by just playing FT for a few rounds and doing dailies/weeklies but i suppose that is unfortunate that your unlocking predator items using FT gameplay but that’s kinda what the game is right now anywaya

Didn’t think of it like that

#15

I would do the same for FT

There are soooooooo many more guns they could add into the game

Disarming bomb

Being the one to down the pred

Completed objectives

AI Kills with _________ weapon

Etc

#16

So anybody else getting stuff they already own and not getting it count as a duplicate? I just got ol’ painless skin again as well as skins for the scout pred that I already had and it counted them as new.

#17

Spent nearly 200K on field lockers today and the one and only mythical I got was a duplicate shader. I also got a duplicate red trophy (Coyote). They 100% need to adjust the drop rates.

#18

Said my peace on this. Make mythic and exotic items weekly rewards every other week.

#19

Exactly if your going to have field lockers, that don’t give much incentive to buy them then let us buy the actual item in game with a high price of course, 50k-maybe even 85-90k for mythical and have a few that are in locked at Lil 100 and 150, as to keep some exclusive for those players that grind out the level

#20

I could see this like, your first claim is like 200, then it doubles after, 2nd claim would be 400, and 3rd would be 800, in total with all four claimed there could be like a max of 2,500 v claimed, I think. Because FT have the option of picking up extra currency
