    Named Gear Pieces from Field Proficiency Caches

    Apart from Famas, I have never received anything. While people have got Barett's Chest Piece, Ferro's Mask etc from their caches.

    Is it common for Field Proficiency Caches to drop named rare items for those who buy season pass or is it just random for anyone?

    I have a season pass and no Barrets yet from anywhere. Its just RNG.

    Oh it is really rare and really random. I've pulled a Barrett's vest and a Bliss holster but the amount of junk I've been through is hilarious.

    If I'm not mistaken its a 0.14% chance from a Field Proficiency Cache for a Named Item, then divide that number by how many Named items there are for your shot at a gear piece in particular. Its very low odds, which is surprising considering I've gotten both a god rolled Barret's and god rolled MC Skull's out of caches. Though that was only after wasting like 2 weeks 4+ hours a day doing hundreds of Lexington runs and like 50 LZ boss runs and not getting anything.

    You have people who say they ran Lex 10 times and opened 5 pro cache and got 3 Barrets, I've opened 100's of pro caches and nothing, Lex over 200 times and got 3 showstops.

    Best not to read how easy some people have gotten item's, it can ruin your taste for the game.

    If Massive was smart and their not, they would have done something like you will get a vest within 100 runs of Lex, at least people would know that al that work wouldn't be left up to some crap luck.

    in 1.6 weekly assigment caches will include 1 exotic item, same as legendary missions have guarantee on one exotic per week. So named - exotic gear will be accessible even bad luck with RNG.

    As outlined many times but worth repeating, the problem is in using a straight non-weighted random generation. Add to this that the various item scores are extremely wide ranging and that 99% of the individual item types are useless. The straight drop percentage is therefore lottery level luck instead of lighting strike luck to get an actual good item.

    This is just a horrible and amateurish way to do loot drops. It is a late 1980's/1990 approach to the issue like you might see in a text based game using a straight roll generator.

    In my case, I've deleted 3 or 4 MC gloves and 2 Bliss holsters because they were complete crap. I've never had the kneepads or the mask even drop.

    Been playing the game since beta up until last month I had never had anything named drop for me, now I have 5 sets of MC Gloves (1 set god roll and useable), 2 Caduceus, and ninja bag from proficiency cache earned running of all places...Lexington. Never had a Barrett chest piece or Showstopper drop despite running it hundreds of times.

    It's very rare and not at all connected to a Season Pass.
