    You and me both. I've been running Russian and Lexington over and over and the best I got was an M44 that was worse than my purple First Wave M1A. I did get some Striker's Kneepads from Hornet on one run though but I'm wearing 2 crafted Sentry's pieces and it was on hard so lower gear score.

    same, i manage to get some marksman HE
    but they are pwned by my superior purple 1st wave m1a

    i have nothing to complain on this rifle, it's amazing at 144dps and brutal talent, i also did alot mods to make it perfect as i can
    but well, i have this since my pre-lv 30, this is like 8 to 10 days since the game released

    i'm not even considering take my chances on crap zone, PC side is too much stressful for try farm anything there nowdays

    Weeks ago, the BoO DZ vendor had a First Wave M1A with Brutal and Balanced. It has handly beat out every single 182 and 163 HE marksman rifle I have ever had drop.

    That's because there is no calculation to how GearScore is set, its a drunk monkey playing pen-the-gear-score-on-the-item. If someone who wants to invest the time, could assign values to stats and come up with a formula that would be great, but GS on an RNG system is stupid, because if you get the lowest possible rolls across the board, and compared it to the highest possible rolls, you would have 2 completely different items, one of White/Green quality and one of Purple/Yellow but the same Gear Score.

    So the point is, UbiSoft screwed up by trying to mix 2 systems into this game, an RNG system and a SET GearScore system. Now RNG would work, if, UBI soft had a formula for calculating the Gear Score of the RNG items, THEN the system would work. But unless they make stats on gear static, this game will fail because RNG and Set GS Tiers, don't MIX.

    The game will fail.

    Scavenging is completely useless for anything other than ammo pickups

    Scavenging is garbage.

    It's an increase to a TINY chance. Anyone who has ever noticed a difference is just sharing lucky anecdotes.

    I've gotten 2 gloves from Lincoln in maybe 15 Lincolns. I have 0 scavenging from gear.

    I got one out of a crate (no key required) in DZ01 this week.

    Then got killed by a rogue trying to extract it... The ONLY time I've ever been killed extracting (over 100 hours play time).

    Talk about bad luck! -.-
