    Exotics

    At what level do you start seeing these drop (the red gear Im assuming)

    I've made it to 273 GS w/o a single exotic, mind you I own 0 DLC' is this why?

    Is that 3% regardless if you're playing on hard, easy, challenging and so on?

    That's just the 15 free roaming bosses in the open world.

    https://the-division-map.com/

    The mission bosses don't all drop exotics. The few that do have to be on the highest difficulty (not legendary).

    Barrett's vest- Lexington Event Center challenging
    Ferro's mask- Napalm Production hard
    Shortbow kneepads- Madison Hospital hard
    Bliss' holster- General Assembly hard

    Skulls gloves and Ninja backpack only drop from the open world bosses. LZ or DZ.

    All field prof caches have a 1% chance to drop any exotic.
    Open world bosses have a 3% chance to drop any exotic and respawn every four hours.

    All challenge level missions have a chance to drop the Showstopper or the Urban MDR. A 1% chance each. That's a 2% chance they will drop a weapon and then a 50/50 chance between the two.

    The six gear pieces only drop in tier 5.
    Weapons can drop in any tier but will be scored for that tier and can not be optimized above that tier.

    Some of the newer weapons may only drop in tier 5 but I can't say which ones. I only know that the MDR and Showstopper can drop in any tier.

    Is it my imagination or did you forget Resistance caches?
