    I have completed around 6 major Arkfalls with an EGO rating in the 400-600 since doing them and I generally finish in the top 3 or top 5. I have received a few green and blue loots, but no purple. In fact I have never received a single purple loot reward from anything not even the tier 3-4 box I have bought from the lockbox vendor.

    I like doing Arkfalls, but they are pretty much worthless to grind for exp or loot IMO.

    This are the rewards I've gotten.. I'll try more later to day and see if I still get Purples every 1st place.

    But the reason to try, is to have fun and enjoy the competition. I could careless about the Loot. I enjoy seeing my name at the top. Its an Ego thing.
    Pun intended?

    A few days ago I worked hard through a major bug arcfall and got nothing.

    Yesterday I drive thorugh a bug arcfall, didn't fight (may have accidently ran over a bug) and 20 minutes later I get a green reward.
    Later I was involved in my first Mutant arcfall (minor I think) and placed second. Not only did I pick up 3 green items from enemy kills, but I was rewarded with a purple (and I believe one other item) on completion.

    Yeah, they must have 'tweaked' something in the last day because I'm getting a lot more purple and blue stuff from final arkfalls... (actually getting more purple than I am from the lockboxes I've purchased recently!)

    I don´t think score ranking should have much effect on your rewards if any at all.

    Keep in mind that there are rather different character setups for different situations and playstyles. People run around being geared, skilled and perked for pvp, crowd control, healing others, etc.
    Putting reward emphasis simply on who did most damage would push everyone towards using Overcharge and certain types of weapons.
    Personally I do like to try out different weapons, roles, playstyles etc also when doing Arkfall events. If that would reduce my chance on good loot I'd feel pushed to use the highest damage setup I can find all the time and probably rather quickly get bored with the whole thing.

    Yes there are loadouts. But still many people have not got tons of perks to choose from for one. Also the loadouts for me are bugged. I got 3 loadouts and try to have 2 with decoy and 1 with cloak, mostly for pve/pvp reasons. For some reason a number of things I use in the cloak loadout keep changing back shortly after setting them up to what I'm using on the decoy loadouts (used perks, outfit).

    As arkfall events are spontaneous people will also decide to go join them as they spawn. Last thing you want when one starts is having to change your loadout so you can do more damage. The time that takes is likely to nerve your overall damage rather than boost it anyway.

    To me it doesn't seem to be in the spirit of the game to only reward those who focus on dps.

    Sometimes I feel like it's random as well, but I don't know if it is or not because I haven't really looked into it, haha.
