    Item drops and frequency of type

    Hey, I'm wondering if I'm the only one who pretty much exclusively finds shotguns as weapons loot. Its like the game is saying "Come on, please use shotguns. I know you chose ARs but we simply cant have that. So here is 1000 average yet slightly different shotguns. ENJOY!"

    Don't know about exclusive but I have received a higher than average amount of weapon drops as shotguns... Plus in ark fall rewards all I get are grenades and shields

    I get a crap load of shotguns, rocket launchers, tachyon shields and rebel shields. Oh and some random grenades.

    I get the same thing with Bio granades. WHO USES THESE!!!!!!!!! I had all 39 of my inventory slots full and 21 of the items where green and white Bio grenades. They need to give out weapons similar to the highest level of weapon use or ones you have little to no level with so can can level them up. Like borderlands does so can get rarer weapons you enjoy using with the sligtly less chance of garbage stuff.

    item drops are messed up thats for sure, i am just about ego level 1000 and i have bought 5 tier 4 lockboxes and have never gotten anything more than a blue, i have bought about 15 tier 3's and gotten 2 purples, i also get first and second in major arkfalls and have only seen 1 purple, i have yet to see an orange in this game, so what the **** am i working so hard for, i have seen people with low ego get 12th or lower on a major arkfall and get an orange, but i have been working my *** off and havent ever seen one and have gotten no more than a half dozen purples

    from what i can tell, the most effective lockboxes to buy are the tier 2

    the tier 3 and 4 cost more keys per drop than the tier 2.

    and there is no descriptive difference nor have i found any numbers saying tier 3 or 4 have better drop chances for different tiers than the 2.

    someone has added up the data form lockboxes into a spreadsheet, with forum members helping and tier 3's turn out to be the best choice with tier 2's second and tier 4's being the worst, which i can only see as greed because they want you to waste your money on tier 4's buying bits, since most will assume they are the best and keep buying them.

    The logical way to do this would be to have the higher tier have a higher percentage chance of item rarity.... But hey there are a LOT of things in this game that seem illogical thus far...

    I always get at least one shotgun no matter the tier of the box or where I buy it from. ALWAYS. The loot table seems very shotgun friendly, which sucks because I don't care for shotguns. But whatever. I did get two orange pieces yesterday in separate boxes (both tier 3). One was - you guessed it - a shotgun. The other was a frag grenade that is actually pretty sweet (min damage was something like 2500 and max was 4500) with a .8 fuse time. Not bad. Still holding out hopes of getting a good orange assault rifle, but those seem like needles in a haystack.
