Oh, you mean you're lying and can't spell it, ok. Carry on.

I don't think Sledge lied, I think he just relayed info that was given to him. I was quick to jump on that bandwagon blaming him for that, but I have learned that they just take whatever info they are given at face value and just repeat it. Makes them look like the horse's rear to us and the unknown dev that gave them that info gets off scot-free

Ive still never even seen a purple drop off of a mob. Ive only seen them in lockboxes or Arkfall/Siege awards.

Well it is possible he was not lying (if I understand correctly what Trick said at the beginning of his post - see quote below) - maybe Sledge picked it up close to launch, we will never know..

And this is what he said weeks ago

Do Orange weapons drop in game or only from Loot boxes?
