    Hard Wired component drop rates

    I have 4 out of 6 components for my project. I still need the one from Jefferson Trade Centre, and Air and Space Museum.

    I must have ran both of these 10 times each so far and still no materials. Are the drop rates working correctly?

    I could be just unlucky but considering this set is crafted, and most crafted items are scaled between 450-490... this drop rate is waaaay too low. I always run the missions on hard because of the aggression bug making farming a chore.

    Hello Kraidoz,

    Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, these items are random drops, so there's no guarantee that you are going to get one straight away.

    I have run Air and Space Museum solo, with randoms, with clan members over 100 times from everything from normal, hard and challenging and the component has not DROPPED at all. That RNG sounds awfully like, yeah NEVER. I have the other 5 parts and filled all the hardwire tech in short order. That last piece will NOT drop at all from the Air and Space Museum now since that sneaky little post tidal basin patch. even if the drop rate was 1% I should have had the piece drop at least once. You do the math. Something is bugged with these drops now.

    I had the same issue and was super annoyed of running same missions over and over. Decided to just switch the difficulty to Story mode and got all missing components. Maybe it was just a coincidence but worked for me. I hope it works for you as well. Good Luck

    Yeah I believe he understands that, but what he's saying is that the drop rate is extremely low for the Hard Wired components, and it really is. I agree. Couple that with the chance for the crafted pieces to come out at 450 gear score when most of my gear is 500, and you got yourself a recipe for endless grinding to get good baseline scores forever and ever, for a set that honestly does not deem worthy of the endless grind.

    If all you want is a maxed gear score just get the pieces. But unless you are extremely lucky you want have any good stats

    Broken game

    This game has so many bugs its pathetic. I have ran air space museum endlessly and still nothing. I do know there are a lot of issues with this game and I would not be surprised if this was a random bug based on clothing or something. Rng is definitely trash for the hard wired set. Maybe if they put a better chance the harder the difficulty it would be better.
