    Assault rifles no longer dropping

    As the title says, it's been a while now (a good week or so) since I've opened a weapons cache or yellow box from Control points to get an assault rifle. All I've been getting are shotguns and snipers, neither of which I overly like using.

    I'm playing on xbox and in WT5 in case this makes any difference.

    Anyone else seeing this?

    Ya I notice the Assault rifles do not drop as often anymore.

    I have also not seen a High-end P416 in weeks when they use to drop so much like candy before WT5 was introduced.

    I've been using the CTAR and keep having different versions of that drop, but nothing else. Really I'm ok with it, I love that gun.

    I dont ever see specific drops. I think its on a time opened system, so i bet if i play at a different time id see what i never see. Blacksmith anyone? Or a ctar?

    Same here but I keep getting these useless regular rifles and subs. Super low rolls also.

    That's not a bad theory, since I always play frmo 5pm to 10 pm eastern, and I get LMG's by the hundreds. The game knows I don't use them, so they think I want a billion of them.

    I haven’t seen a P416 AR since around level 21-22, but I don’t think it’s chance to drop was reduced. It’s just RNG being RNG. All I get to drop are shotguns and marksman rifles.

    I found an amazing roll ar at the start of wt5 and nothing but **** since. got an amazing roll p416 but it's 494, i've played allot, done allot, killed allot since wt5 started and ARs have definitely been reduced. there's just no love for assault rifles from massive, they are so scared of accidentally making content too easy that the game is no fun to play.
