This game does not give enough loot...

Hey guys,

I just did my first major Arkfall a few hours ago. Huge fight, took out the giant bug (though somehow it wasn't as exciting as it seemed liked it should be). The whole time I was thinking "wow, I bet i'll get some GREAT stuff for this!" but then when we finished, I got NOTHING! Not just worthless gear like other games, NO GEAR AT ALL!

Seriously, how do you get loot in this game? Am I missing something, or is looting practically disabled for this game?

Yeah, we're going to get a LOT of players like this, who love loot and think this game will have a ton of it since the inventory system is based on Borderlands. Disappointment will abound when they find that all weapons are the same through all levels and loot is pretty rare.

Sorry friend, I was disappointed too when I realized this wasn't a loot based game.

No loot is gained in the beta. Loot's planned, just not visible to us yet. We do get exp though after the ark event disappears.

Yes, almost no loot in MT and Madera - except for few drops from destruction of minor hellbug arkfalls. Neither from mini-events (like "War Games" with mutants), nor from major arkfalls.

Yeah they have lowered the loot drop for the Beta so don't take it to be like this in the final release.

It has been stated that Arkfall loot is turned off for the Beta.

Loot rate is really low for the beta. And the loot table for arkfalls are off. I've found about 30 pieces of equipment all varying from common to rare.

From what ive seen right now ark falls not giveing anything really. I get loot from co op and just normal side quests and the normal pop up missions quite often though. You dont burn through gear as much as you do on some other games right now though. So in theory you could keep the same gun for quite a while after you max skill in it.

1-2 co-op runs and your gun's xp is maxed out and skill doesn't grow (unless you are using infector or not shooting) - and you need replacement.

I'd say it's pretty obvious from the arkfalls that loot in the beta is mostly not enabled.
