Why try in arkfalls? Loot table.

The question is, what is your ego rating? People seem to forget that drops are relavent to ego rating, Arkfalls more than likely are as well. So you might be getting sweet stuff because of a higher ego rating.

Pun intended?

What I hate is how you get 750xp for 20 minutes and 1st place in major arkfall and 4000xp for 30 seconds and single valley in minor.

(also two green items for 2nd place, purple Respak for 1 magazine discharged into boss)

Actually you get 10k XP for a hellbug boss kill and 12k XP for a progenitor kill if you do enough damage to it, along with an extra 200 scrip and 3k salvage.

I've never gotten an item for completing an arkfall, done about a dozen of them, half that last night after the patch. Occasionally I see a crappy shield or grenade randomly sitting on the ground next to the crystal in the middle of it, but those are the only items I've gotten from them. I've placed anywhere from 2nd to 10th in most of the ones I've done.

Top 1-5 Here, got a blue rocket launcher once.. waste.. no purples, just greens and thats it, is there some kind of loot tab i am missing, or is the loot people are talking about just the green junk that falls out when screen goes all atomic bomb for 5 seconds

I don't bother. Farm keys and white items then buy boxes. You don't have to compete with a zerg which is best for me.

I placed second tonight. Got a Purple Shield Was absolutely thrilled.

I dont believe Ego Rating has no factor in the Color/Rarity of a weapon/'nade/shield.. Just the Weapon level/ego needed to use it.

I have never found a weapon I have been unable to use.. im guessing it's just to stop people trading awesome weapons>? Shrug

I just did another one tonight, came in near the end when there was only one monarch left to kill before the symbiote's last 50%, didn't even place on the first screen in the rankings and didn't bother to scroll down to see where I was. I got a purple shield and a green grenade, they popped up on top of my screen like I had just opened a lockbox.

So, hard to tell if it's random or buggy.

Placing high in the leaderboard at an arkfall is about player skill during the battles, not your EGO rating going into the fight.

Placed 2nd in a major arkfall (EGO ~190) and rec'd 2 blue mods
Placed 1st in a major arkfall (EGO ~220) and rec'd 2 blue shields - both far better than anything I had seen drop

Kills and deaths stats seem fine. Reviving is inaccurate - 1 revive can count for 7 or 9 on the stats

It certainly helps to have 2 loadouts with 4 weapons of different ammo types as during my early arkfalls I tended to run out of ammo. Not sure if there has been a server-side tweak to the ammo drops, but today I only ran out of ammo with one gun after a combined 8 battles across 2 major arkfalls. Certainly makes it more fun if you can keep fighting rather than retreat to find an ammo crate.
