Is it just me, or does everyone else have horrible luck with Arkdrops? All I ever get are some lame grenades or a shield? When do I get an actual weapon I can actually use???

You will get a weapon you can use, I've gotten a purple from one before. Although it was an infector, so meh not my style. But even if you don't get good weapons, you will probably scrap them for lockboxes anyways. I do arkfalls for lockboxes tbh and would recommend you do the same.
I think they give us shields and grenades because we can get weapons and mods from lockboxes.
You see, part of the awards of an arkfall are keycodes that we use to open those lockboxes.
But the lockboxes didn't include shields or grenades.
That's what I do now, with the lockboxes I mean. I just think doing Arkfalls would feel so much more rewarding if I had gotten a few weapons here and there. If that makes sense.
Someone had mentioned that the rewards get better with a higher EGO rating, but idk.
They don't.Quote:

That's a very good point, I never thought of it that way. Still I've seen friends get orange weapons, while I'm just sitting there with a bunch of 'nades.Quote:

the rewards system for arkfalls is broken and its best to avoid them for the time being. i can get 4 keys from doing "Kill the Skitterlings" which takes about 2 1/2 minutes... but i get 4-6 keys from being in first on an ark fall?? arkfalls should reward 20 keys minimally based on time spent alone.
The game is not about giving everyone the best of best everytime. It is about working , or grinding if you like, and on the rare chance you gain a purple or orange weapon or such.Quote:

Now if they were to have stats increases on weapons in the future, ie. the treadmill, then you could make an argument on drops.
Well I need less resources cause I'm over 170k...
I get shields and grenades from lock boxes.Quote:

I'm not trying to complain or anything regarding a percentage of what I have gotten, I understand that it should be quite difficult to obtain higher stat weapons. The reason for me asking is that I am level 710, and I have never gotten anything from an arkfall other than shields and grenades or the occasion white/ green weapon. Whereas someone who is 300 something is gaining purples. If it's going to get better for me in the future, I'll remain optimistic and keep on grinding to get the good stuff. I was simply concerned that is was some sort of glitch. Turns out I'm just as unlucky in-game as I am in real life. Lol.
I would like to know what people even consider are "good drops" in this game.
Do you guys realize that whites all the way up to oranges can have the exact same stats and be modded better to any tier of weapon you think is "rare"?
There isnt any sort of loot to hunt. The game is intended to have to keep throwing guns away and using new ones so that the overall progression doesn't get stalled. Therefor, guns stay very similar and nothing is good or special. (which is also why the mod system is contradicting because to mod up your "favorite" weapon to use all the time is pointless- it will become obsolete once its level is maxed and you technically are punished if you keep using it by not leveling anymore)
I hardly ever get anything useful. Some crappy shield or some grenades. Rarely anything I can use and don't even get me started on the lockbox lottery.
