There is a bug/issue/problem with this. Following the guides doing the different control points on world tier 5 and level 4 control points “should” drop the materials then clearing different level 4 control points held by each fractions “should” drop the remaining materials. If those steps do not work I would suggest farming targeted loot locations where holsters are the targeted loot.
I honestly do not remember picking up the holster materials myself (I took a break from the game until warlords was released) but I have picked up the holster several times in targeted loot arenas. Chances are not high doing this but with targeted loot just about any enemy can drop targeted loot.
There are several threads on this subject. You can find more info in those if you wish but like I said this has been known and reported to the devs by the mods but there isn’t a timeline for a fix as of yet.
In my opinion the holster along with most of the exotics aren’t worth the time farming for. Pestilence and coyotes mask are about the only two exotics worth farming for if you ask me, the liberty pistol has good damage and reload speed but personally I have never seen an elite and thought to myself “I need to use my pistol against this guy” But that is just my opinion. I do have a triple god roll holster and have never saw a point in using it especially since you can only use one exotic gear item at a time and one weapon at a time.
The project to the blueprint can be found in your project lists where your weekly n daily projects are. It comes in phases but you have to follow the hint, "Go west young agent", which in the description it implies you have to go to the gas station control point in West End. After leveling it up to lv 4, the named boss of the control point will wear a cowboy hat. Defeating him/her will drop the exotic components for it, then you can return to hand in the components to start the next phase.
However, this is a known issue for players having trouble with it, and in another thread the devs replied that they are currently looking into it.
I was hunting for the blueprints when it first came out, and the riddles and hints were fun.Originally Posted by Scootsu Go to original post
Boy was I ever disappointed when I found out that holster was just a boring gunslinger/pistol based.
Yeah. Honestly I don’t know why people hunt for exotics like crazy. Most are useless and you can only use one gear and one weapon at a time and in my opinion no exotic gear is better than the coyote mask. Granted I don’t have all exotic items but what I do have are not impressive.
Currently I am working on the nemesis sniper/marksman rifle myself. Doing the capital building invaded stronghold right now (between posts and between watching tv) to get the barrel for it. Then hopefully Roosevelt island will be invaded next invasion for the bolt so I can cross that blueprint off my list and exotic off my list. Just for another item to be in my stash along with all the other exotic pieces in my stash lol
Liberty pistol
Pestilence lmg
Coyote mask
Are the only decent exotics in my opinion and even then they need to have good rolls to be useful.
