Got an orange shotgun and detonator from tier 3 =p

Got my first orange weapon. Lvl 202. Some sort of sticky grenade launcher. My 4th Tier 3 box.

I'm at 1086 EGO, and I have yet to encounter a single orange rarity item.

I finally got my first orange an infector out of a teir 4 lockbox was at a rating of 1015 when i got it. It seems to be a really rare shot to get orange and purple items.

JammyThumbs --- i love your forum pic. LOL

Attachment 1593 The two guns equipped. Nuff said.

I finally got my first orange last night, and it was...

...a grenade mod.

Granted, it's a nice flashzap, but still.

I think the real problem is not the rarity of the oranges, but the fact that nearly every gear drop is a white grenade or shield mod, identical to the last 100 drops...at this point, why not just drop scrip or salvage? It'd take up less inventory, and would be more useful to all players. Once you're out there adventuring, white grenades and shields are pretty much useless.

And thinking about this, I just realized that there's no vendor for those things. They should probably be in a vendor. Save the drops for something interesting - green, at least.

They are very real. Very rare, but real.

i had the same feeling was around 620 and finally last night just got a orange BMG in a teir 2 box.Its all about the luck of the draw

I stopped caring really. At almost 800, my favorite assault rifle is green. I have not found a blue or purple burst-fire assault rifle. That's why I stopped caring. The odds of me finding an orange burst-fire assault rifle when I have been using the same one since the 500s is practically nonexistent. My toon (Mordeth) is still hitting top 3 consistently in major Ark Falls and I'm good with that.
