Also, I don't know if they will become common place or not because about 80% of the time I finish these things solo and less than 10% of the time do I ever see more than one other person. I know it is purely anecdotal but I do play quite a bit during prime time hours and weekends so my impression is that they aren't exactly being swarmed like event ark falls.
The pistol sounds like it could be useful in WM and the det with expeditions and afflicted sieges but there are plenty of weapons out there that meet those needs. Also the 1% ammo regen bonus is pretty weak compared to Hallow Point & Prepared and it is almost useless on a det. And while I really like Respark shields this one has an almost worthless bonus that requires you to have both of the other weapons equipped to even activate it.
So if you throw out the synergy you are left with 3 hard to get epic novelties that require 500 AF to being any real use. If they are going to make something hard to get then they need to make it worth the effort. If the rewards are going to be epic items then they should be worth upgrading to legendary. If they are meant to be nothing more then novelties then the drop rate should be better. If they are novelties that doesn't mean that they should be super easy to get but after 300+ ark falls you should see at least one drop. Most reasonable people will accept grinding for stuff and they will accept paying for stuff but they won't accept both unless the reward is really worth it because it's like having a job and paying for the privilege to do it.
