Solo PS4 player looking for 252 ASR enemy drops.
Hello. Long time lurker, 1st time posting. I recently discovered that you can essentially farm for 252 lvl gear and weapons by playing elite faction missions, and killing yourself every time you grab an elite (4 yellow stripes) enemy drop (after killing one of the lvl 255 enemies at these bases) as there is supposed to be 1 (no more but sometimes less) every time the game reloads and the base repopulates the dead enemies.
This farm is definitely a huge improvement over getting 2 chances per 17hr period which is the intended game mechanic - and what costed me about a year to get to full lvl 252 on all gear and weapons.
Now, given the speed of this method, it's become evident there are massively skewed drop % per item/weapon and this is why I'm writing today.
I've experienced a huge % drop of elite 252 MGL, side arms, apparel, G28, and FRF, with the MGL being the highest percentage by far. I haven't measured it but I can tell you I have gotten something like 20+ MGLs, 6 FRF, 6 G28, 5 T95, 4 HTI, God knows how many apparel pieces and side arms, while I've only gotten 1 T82, 3 Stoner, 1 MP5, 1 MP7, 2 MPX, 1 ASR...
I'm writing this after spending about 3 hrs looking to get some hard data but after I got the 3rd MGL (in-a-row) I stopped.
Don't get me wrong, I love this game and I can enjoy it with the gear I have, but I'd like a bit more fair chance at trying out other guns more "naturally" or "organically" - statistically speaking - I'm not forgetting that I am farming.
Question: does anyone know a method for increasing the chances of getting 252 elite ASRs? I can't do raids or PvP as my schedules are pretty hectic and when I play I can't really speak to coordinate - which is why I didn't renew my online account for this year.
Thank you all!!
