    Hard wired not dropping I give up on the game!

    I'm giving up... I have all the needed things to unlock the hard wired set except the mask (Hard Wired M-Component (Mask) - Grand Washington Hotel). I have now done this mission over 20 times in challenge and I have never seen it drop once. I have also tried other difficulties. No help. Either it is bugged or the drop rate is ****ed. I'm tired and I am done. This game is fun when leveling and getting good gear... but if you hit a wall like this and keep hitting it... its ****ed.

    Bye

    Make a second character.

    In The Division, getting a complete classified gear-set needed weeks or months, especially the one I was looking for, on the contrary, I had some other (class.) sets in a week. It's completly random. I know all of that... you have my compassion, don't give up, that's the wrong attitude!

    IMHO, I don't think it's random though. Cause it seems if you have seen a piece of gear, you'll see it a million times. Meanwhile, others just won't ever see it unless someone is kind enough to share. For the haven nots, this game is a complete wasted effort. Meanwhile, the haves complain about how easy the game is.

    Do it on Hard mode and do it SOLO, it's virtually a guaranteed drop then.

    I got all of mine doing the missions on story difficulty without a problem. The tech to craft them though took 4EVA. You'll be disappointed once you get the full set though....I was.

    I played Diablo 3 for over a year looking for one specific piece of gear before it dropped.

    I wouldn't worry about it. Once you get all of the pieces, you'll find out that you get screwed again when you try to craft them. I am GS 500 and finally got all of the parts and crafted my first piece...it rolled a 452. I couldn't believe the hoops that they make you jump through to get these parts and then they RNG the roll when crafting them. I foolishly thought they would automatically be GS 500, but sadly not...

    I have the blueprints but won't craft it until the updates which are supposed to raised the GS level of crafted items to max, I think.

    I did it on solo last night on normal and got another hard-wired drop and my first merciless. Took out one of those big flying drones while free roaming after the mission. I'm starting to really like my current build. Perhaps taking a day or two off improves the drop rate?
