Okay, I have played General Assembly somewhere around fifty times and have opened hundreds of Field Proficiency crates in between, and I still have received every named gear piece except for Colonel Bliss' Holster. Now, I get it, some people have no clue how to use it and just default to calling it garbage because they're too lazy to figure out a way to integrate it into a build, but I want it solely to collect it, and to use it because my current holster, I'm betting, doesn't quite compare to the named one. 15% more armor after four seconds in the same cover is okay, but more increased damage and a little EMP mixed in, I've got to get it. It must be mine. I want it. I've gotten it all, except this, and I have grinded its most likely source, General Assembly on Hard, ever since 1.5 released. I haven't been counting, but I may have played this mission about one hundred times.
And you know what? I doubt I'm special in any regard. Therefore, I want to protest and say that this holster's drop rate is too low. That's it. Simple. I think it's too low. But hey, maybe my luck is just pure aids. Even so, this is absorbing the absolute, unadulterated context of "ridiculous."
I have yet to receive a single named item from the hundreds or more field proficiency caches that I have opened. I have played Lexington event at least 200 times without the Barret's Chest. I have run Madison at least 100 times with out the short bow pads. I have killed all the named bosses 40 times in a row without a single named drop.
It's broken.
I got the Bliss Holster earlier today after my 5th or 6th run of General Assembly. Its pretty nice, on demand 18% increased weapon damage for 20 second, just triple tap something with your 93R and swap to your primary. Has utility outside of that as the EMP effect will prevent NPC's and players from using skills while disrupted.
Could be on 1st or 500th run, I wouldn't go in thinking you should get it at a certain point.Originally Posted by jjsraiders Go to original post
Good luck hope its soon for you
You're lucky if you have every named gear piece except the holster. I've only got the vest and gloves. That's it and I've run the General Assembly mission hundreds of times and nothing, same as Madison Field Hospital. I'm only after the holster and knee pads for now but after how many months they've been around, I still haven't had either 1 of them.
I had Bliss Holster actually drop, it just appears as any other high end drop after the helicopter is destroyed and the mission is completed. Bliss Holster also only appears on its own, unlike other boss named drops where you'll get a third item in the beam. Meaning after the helicopter crashes the usual 4 item beams will be on the ground, one of which will be Bliss Holster.Originally Posted by jjsraiders Go to original post
