I've been trying to get a HE M1A since hitting level 30. I've been using the same purple M1A off the vendor for 200 hours now (all legit, no exploits of any kind). In those 200 hours I have never seen a HE one drop. I wasn't high enough level to get the blueprint, which rubbed it in even worse.
It feels like I'm one of the only players left that doesn't have their HE M1A yet and to be honest it puts me way behind the curve, not to mention it tanks my gear score.
Frankly its ridiculous that 200 hours isn't enough to upgrade a single weapon. I'm so tired of using the same gun basically since launch with no upgrade in sight.
Any other members of the purple M1A club feel my pain?
Look at it this way, even if it did drop, it would be Gearscore 163, horrible talents and overall useless. You're not missing anything.
Please be careful though, your post could be defined as "Troll" lol.
There is a very incapable, low information slug lurking around here that has absolutely no clue what he's doing. He'll get really mad and lash out any minute. To prove my point.
GS 163 isn't all that bad. I got a GS 163 First Wave Vector on a drop with 9k damage base, brutal, ferocious and vicious talents. Pretty good if you ask me.Originally Posted by Krighton. Go to original post
Yep. I got three gold M1As in the last two days. All three were 163 rated, and all three had terrible talents.Originally Posted by Krighton. Go to original post
Way do you even need a sniper rifle for? Sure it's good to have. But it's allot more important to have a good SMG. Personally I have a Hunting M44 *GS204 does 50k damage per shot without any modifiers. Highest crit I got with it is close to 360k without any gear set bonus applied. Using a purple M1A just because its a M1A... I don't see the point.Originally Posted by WaheeMH Go to original post
10D 18H , same here..
freind of mine has one, but crappy rolls, i am still "good" with my purple vendor one from week 2 or so.. very good rolls, although ubisoft nerved them to hell (way longer reload time, and way longer time until the reticule comes together.. wasnt like this the day i bought it, still best rolls in game..
havent seen a single M1A HE drop , but have received 4 set items from mobs (191 though and REAL crappy, seems as if ubisoft knows how to make crappy rewards and deliver them to the player if not gained through incursion or challenge mode ) my friend.. ZERO..
*shrug*
