To date I have 8 holsters, 4 gloves, 1 backpack, and one mask. No kneepads and no harness. That is 42,000 GE points and I am not close to getting a full set. I have tried buying these early, late, middle of the day, in threes, single and wait a while. You name it.

    Now I realize that the RNG is totally broken and beyond repair obviously so can you guys please figure a way for us to get pieces here? It becomes past frustrating and totally demoralizing to grind 25 plus legendary missions and I 'm still sitting here needing two pieces. I am really losing the will to play here........
    Your lucky. I spent 80k in GE Credits and Finally just got my last piece of striker last night. And it wasn't from a GE Cache it was from a DZ run.

    Buy 8-9 bundles masks or gloves. And with that i gave up on GE since i refuse to play that LZ garbage over and over again (my psyche can't stand that), DZ also isn't option anymore since u need kill 20 bosses, + those bosses get farmed by other players, to buy one bundle.

    The biggest problem for some is the RNG, Random Number Generator, keeps coming up with 00:00.
    Some get nothing.
    I have no basis to complain when compared to what some have experienced.
    It took 17 caches to get a Dead Eye set of Knee pads, I thought that was rubbish, then an agent responded it took them 30 caches.

    Then on a different thread tonight one agent has opened 50 caches looking for Striker gloves with no luck at all.

    I am 3 pieces from a completed 1st set of all CS armour and have multiple sets of many armour and have dismantled completed sets of Banshee, Reclaimer, D3FNC Frontline and Striker.

    I have a great range of weapons and all mods, just a shame I suck so much at PVP that the sets are wasted, though the Nomad set has given me a huge boost in the PVP side as I have actually killed a few rogue agents lately.

    Change the system, it is broken and unfair.

    I am quite sure that there are just as many guys who get decent drops like you as there are those of us who do not. There are thousands playing this and they all dont post here. The biggest problem is this is a game, not my job so most people have limited tolerance for beating their head in a wall. I get tired and just go play Far Cry or Ghost Recon. Also once you get a taste of a six piece set you realize how different this game is with it. I dont do PvP, this game is just not good at that, but once I got my six piece Striker and set up my Urban MDR it was an insane difference in how well I could run a mission as opposed to before. Rarely could I get through a challenging mission solo without dying several times and now challenging solo is much easier. Heck I can even do a legendary solo if I take my time.


    However, what I want now is to get some of the other gear sets so I can be a team player when I run with a team. That is so much fun. I would love to be the shield guy one time, or to be the Reclaimer and be the healer. As it is I am the DPS guy with my Striker set, not by choice but becuase thats all I have. This game using teams would be so much better if we al had multiple gear sets.

    I opened 4 more Striker GE caches last night and got 4 more holsters.

    I decided to switch to D3 and at least got 2 unique pieces ... so starting that set now.

    I guess I can make a combo set ... just need a ninja backpack.

    Targeted GE cache RNG is horrible. Bought over 10 Striker caches and never got a holster. Got a bunch of duplicate vests, knee pads, masks...

    The GE caches are clearly not RNG. I started this GE needing only gloves to finish my G3 set. I have opened 21 D3 caches so far and had no gloves. If there were a truly fair chance of getting any piece (i.e. a 1 in 6 chance of getting gloves) then the probability of opening 21 caches and not getting gloves is basically zero. Massive have set the drop tables up to make it unbelievably difficult to complete a six piece set using GE caches. I now feel like Massive are trying to treat me like an idiot, and rather than increasing my engagement, they have put me off the game entirely. I am not saying that I am going to uninstall the game and shoot my PC into the Sun, just that Massive and Ubisoft may have made a big miscalculation about how far they can push the players with skewed mechanics to keep us playing the game.

And that I still only have one of two items there. I don't mind grinding for gear but this has gone past the point of insanity, and I am not alone on this point.
    Bad luck then. I have 4 sets. 2 by accident (including a Striker set). Been running this toon for 2 months now.

    I've gotten the vast majority of my pieces in the DZ. Get a 4 man group running around DZ8 and DZ9 for a few hours. It's incredible how quickly you can gear your toon by doing that.

    This game has PvP. Classified gear is a gear score increase.

    PvP balance should never be left up to blind luck. Nothing in a PvP game should ever be that rare except unique cosmetics.

    Or they need a 265+ DZ bracket.
