    Contaminated loot in the DZ

    I watched a streamer pick up an AR that was contaminated to see what talents were on it. We couldn't read anything about the AR as the image was all scrambled. Is it supposed to work like that? If you can't see the stats on the weapon, how do you know if you want to keep it? Not sure if this happens on gear as well but it did on a mod he picked up.

    It's by design from what I understand.

    I guess the idea is "Is it good or not? Should I risk an extraction or let it go?"

    In D1 yeah, you could see what was on it. I think this also made extractions too selective.

    They want you to risk it. No telling if it's worth it or not.

    I hope not because that makes no sense at all. If so, then give me the ability to extract 20 items instead of 6. Having to fight your way too an through an extraction only to find out you have a piece of crap would definitely trigger me.

    Well with GS 515 only dropping in the DZ, mission accomplished. Who's going to want to farm the LZ for 500 gs or less gear? Finally, a way to get farmers into the DZ so griefers have someone to kill.

    This is intended.

    We are also increasing the size of your extraction bag up to six by default, up to 10 if choosing new perks that are coming in the future.

    What is intended. Bribing the PVE to try and get them to go in the DZs to fill them up and give the PVP players someone to kill.

    The consequences of more contamination items needed now to be extracted is another way of trying to force PVP. Camping extractions will new the fun ganking past time. Come and get me i’m Extracting.....

    Like i’ve posted Balance the DZ Dev team (make it dual teams Redstorm for the PVP aspect and another for PVE) then things can start to improve
