    Global Event caches, are they broken?

    I have opened around 30 caches to try and get one piece of lone star to complete a classified set and not once have I had a chest piece??? If I open the superior caches it has been 90% firecrest!!! I have enough to make 3 full builds. On a side note I went into the dark zone and within 2 boss kills I had the piece I needed...........then got melted in seconds by a fully geared player!!! Who doesn't need the gear but why not kill a lower geared player to show how good they are.

    Its my favourite game but trying to compete with fully geared players in the DZ when its so hard to get the classifieds you need its killing my enjoyment

    Yes working as intended as they like to say. Sorry to hear about your DZ experience that is par for the course though. They want you to compete against players who are fully geared and generally in larger groups, who play for no other reason then to keep you from getting what you need so they can then tell you that you need to "Git Gud"

    My advice is quit trying and then you will get truck loads of the stuff.

    I tend to leave lower single player farmers alone and if they're not spooked by my presence i'll help them extract too. I got 3 pieces of lone star from the dz the other night but dont need them so dropped for those around me. Working on my d3 an final measure sets now.

    The dz is working as intended, group up if you want a better chance of finding what you need and getting players like myself who dont need that gear to drop it for you. If a lower geared player happens to go rogue on me i dont even bother taking their loot any more unless its a piece i need and then its tough luck for doing something stupid. Sometimes im petty and i'll just deconstruct it for idiocy.

    Im on the xbox if you want any help farming. Im just div tech collecting at the mo so pm me and join up if you like. Some days im just chasing manhunts but i'll help out if you want. Ge caches are strange, i bought 9k's worth the other night and got 3 classified pieces and yet sunday i did the same and got 12. Luck of the draw.

    I've also recently had 2 vs 1 lower players go rogue on me, had 4 vs 2 the other night trying to hijack my extraction, won each time (by miracle in some instances and ignorance on their part) It's not just the higher opt players and experienced etc that go rogue, the lowers do it on those of us who are fully optimised too and to be perfectly frank, some times its better to get the first shot in and put off the thought passing their head again whilst you're in the same server.

    I'd focus on just collecting as much ge as possible and buying as many as possible to see if you can collect the set. Its been said in here, but if you play not looking for the piece, it turns up.
