Have they increased orange drop rates from lockboxes?

What you're missing is that green weapons can't get "10% ego recharge on full reload", which is an amazing bonus to have.

There's a perk that gives you 15%, so while it's a nice bonus, I hardly think it's that necessary.

Also, what I and many others have seemed to notice is that nano effects trigger more as the rarity of the weapon goes up

Ah, yes, that. I wanted to know for certain whether it was the case, so one day I sat down with a spreadsheet, the hulker, two different colored weapons, and experimented. Emptied the entire ammo reserve of two tachmags into the thing in a controlled manner 10 times each, which means 5750 bullets for each weapon. The results were interesting to say the least.

Yes, but with an orange weapon you can stack both the 10% ego recharge on full reload WITH the 15% ego recharge perk and it's that much better. My point is only that oranges have bonuses others don't...and that matters when it comes to dps.

I've got a friend who is around 3600 ego level and has yet to pull even a ****ty orange drop. I feel bad for the guy, he has spent probably 100 bucks in the store on bits for vehicles/suits/inventory slots/and prob 20-30 in boxes. He will grind for keys and spend legit money on it too but he is about ready to give up. All he wants is a stinking orange to drop for himself. I've offered several of mine to him but he's stubborn.

That being said I'm sure there are many in that same boat who are about ready to give up because of the ridiculous drop rates. I could care less. I need a shield/grenade for the pursuits and ill be done with the lock odes altogether. I would rather get synergy mods than multiple orange pump shotguns with a 200% melee damage after a self revive. Nice trolling trion how about a real mod boost and give me a reload perk.

Thats why we need weapon crafting. If you are level 3600 and haven't gotten a legendary, thats ridiculous. Most people want a reward for all that time put in. If we could craft our own guns, but make it a HUGE HUGE grind to craft an orange, people would love it. I would happily spend 20 hours of gameplay to make sure I was building the weapon I want. We need that. I just hope their crafting system is good when they introduce it. We shall see. I have a feeling its only for mods and synergy mods.

They could even make it an unlockable to craft each rarity of weapon. I would have purples and oranges something that only ego 3500 and above could craft. This would make sure that Trion doesn't lose money on people purchasing bits for lockboxes, because the people that spend that money would still buy them all the way to level 4500(if that was the ego level required). Lets do it Trion! lol

+ 1. I'm assuming things will get somewhat ironed out. I'm puzzled at how some of these things ever made it past q/a. The infectors/detonators having a wasted 95k salvage sight attachment. The shottys having a x1.25 etc... Bonus on an orange kills me. I've got a few orange shottys with 2 bonus mag enhancers which equal one stinking round per enhancement. I can go to iron demon ranch right now and get the cheapest white/green shotty in the game and make it more valuable than the lot of worthless orange shotguns I have.

Port Stinson kicked out 2 orange smgs to me by purchasing the lowest tier boxes. Bought a total of 8 wound up with 2 orange and 2 purples the rest a mix of blue/green. I buy 6 tier 3 boxes and nothing but green. Insane

tier 3 has quite a high drop rate for greens. Thats why I started going with tier 4. I have 4 oranges that all came from tier 4, and they all have good bonuses. I'm starting to think that tier 4 not only has a higher chance for orange, but gives better bonuses on those oranges as well
