So is it really only shields and grenades? Or will there also be weapon drops?
'cause I've been getting shields and nades only, don't know if this is intentionally, but it's getting pretty 'meh'.

Wondering this aswell. I dont wanna have to rely on lockboxes for weapons lol.
It doesn't matter that much in Defiance.
Gear is mostly just skins and prefered adjustments.
When you get a purple or orange weapon. They are allmost all the same.
And if you are lucky the orange one might actually be better.Quote:

Someone tell me why I should spend 30 minutes chasing huge bugs for something I tossed in the first hour of gameplay.
So orange gear can be better than other orange gear?Quote:

I received two green weapons from an Arkfall last night. PC platform.
I've had a purple shield and a purple nade, purple shield replaced my mates as it was much better and the nade replaced mine as it had 0.5s extra tick from one 200 levels lower.
I've had some green weapons and one blue, but it's mostly nades and shields. From 5 Major Ark Falls last night and 360.
I soloed 2 Major Arkfalls today at EGO500+. One of them didn't drop ANY loot, nada, zip.. none.
The 2nd Major Arkfall rewarded my 45 minutes of effort with a useless blue flashgrenade.
So if this is the way the game is going to continue to reward my efforts, it won't see much of my money
in the future. Especially when soloing a MAJOR arkfall, you should get something worth the time & effort
put into it. Like a purple or blue weapons mod that are OF USE for you... or weapons that are for YOUR CLASS.
They scale, the more people, the better the loot. Your feat of awesomocity was for nowt.
If you want a game that gives you rewards like much better gear, then this game is not for you.Quote:

Isnt there an EGO perk you can equip for better loot? Or does that not apply to ArkFalls?
They were Major. Once you pop that last "crystal" and the final opens up, a new timer of
20 minutes is added, and it takes about 15 minutes to kill it if you don't die much.
I didn't die anything.
Have to shoot on the move or get nuked by artillery. Avoid wasting time on the little ones and
focus on the boss.
I wasn't aware that you can actually "equip" perks. I always assumed they were passives, apart from the 4 main skills.Quote:

It doesn't sound possible, even if it scales lol.Quote:

Ya that was what I was thinking and seen. More people in my Arkfalls I attack better loots I seem to see and others cheer aboutQuote:

The base stats are the same (i.e. damage, rate of fire) but the bonuses could be "better" and you get more bonuses on higher rarity (as well as a wider variety, such as synergy bonuses).Quote:

:Edit:
E.g. my orange Immunizer has 2 mag size bonuses, 1 grenade recharge bonus, 1 synergy bonus and 1 melee damage type bonus.

Still. It's imbalanced and it should drop weapons more often.
I can just run in the last second, shoot once, and get a purple shield.
arkfalls = keycodes
keycodes = loot
It sucks there weren't enough players to help you with a major Arkfall, as they are meant to be played in large groups. Is this a sign of a dwindling playerbase?Quote:

Oh my lord. Child, you haven't been using perks. Yes, you do have to equip them. Just go to the EGO screen, scroll over a perk, and it will give you the option to equip.Quote:

Loot tables bro, loot tables.
When I say perks I may not be using the right terminology. You have these sub perks under 1 of the 4 main perks. One of them is a better loot drop %.Quote:
