    Check. Also the Providence Backpack with Vigilance.... They know the Stuff we need and set the droprate to nearly 0.
    I've been playing for about 3.000h know and the things that were "Meta" always are dropping so rare.
    Thinking back of the Wyvern backpack with Hard hitting and vital... omg...

    I was farming for a M1A today and it took 2 control points on Heroic, targeted loot, got 1 out of it, but, yes some days you get bad luck

    @ OP I get both dropping all the time when farming targeted loot areas. 99.9% of the time with really crap-rolls, but it is what it is.

    My tip is wait until the farming location is in an area that has a ton of respawning events like down near the tidal basin. and do event after event after event. Trying to farm in an area like near the whitehouse is counter productive due to it having a small number of events.

    The alternative to Providence is Ceska Yroba. If the roll is reasonable then change the Talent to Vigilance. If it drops with Vigilance then change the mod slot to a Red. Voila!

    I think the drop rate of certain weapons is lower than others. Yesterday i was trying to farm for a decent P416 or CTAR, all i got is dozens of AK and FAL variations....like literally only those dropped. Sometimes a G36 variant or ACR... some P416 with bad roll and no CTAR's at all. Overall i re-run the same 4 control points about 4-5 times and i think i ended up stashing only a Honey Badger and an AUG before i went to bed.

    But then last week in about 3 days i've found 3 Forges and a Contractor Gloves by barely even trying. Might be different odds for gear pieces.

    The "normal" one drops in the open world too. You mean "the gift", that's the one with perfect vigilance

    All RNG. I left so many on the ground its not funny. Now a decent MK17 I can't get right now. The M1A along with key supportive pieces of gear are being nerfed. You may want be looking for alternative rifles.

    IMHO the gear will have the bigger
