    Rainbow loot is the same. Maybe worse.

    Been playing the PTS for over 3 hours and doing heroic missions, lvl 4 cp etc and I'd say there isn't any changes to rainbow loot. Still getting a good 75% of drops as rainbow and the attributes aren't good either. I didn't receive anything of use. Please increase the chance of the first attribute to something noticeable. This is becoming extremely frustrating.

    same here I'm getting 4 out of 5 rainbow so they definitely need to increase the chance for 1st att. to be the same as core and also increase the rolls

    FWIW, I ran the first 50 levels of Summit and grabbed screenshots of all the gear I picked up.

    Total: 92 gear items (excluding gearsets as they only have two attributes)

    Of those:
    55 had a first attribute that matched the core (i.e. same color) = 60%
    37 had a first attribute that did NOT match the core (i.e. different color) = 40%

    9 of the second group were full rainbow - i.e. the core, 1st attribute and 2nd attribute were different colors = 9.7%

    I suggest being clear on what you mean by "rainbow" - i.e. gear with two different colors vs three different colors.

    huh cant be, didnt they say that on every loot, the core color and the 1st random will match for 100% ? i think there was something like that in the state of game along with a grafik.

    They absolutely said that in state if the game, but then quickly changed their minds. And now the loot is still an issue. When I say I was receiving rainbow rolls, that's what I mean. 3 colours. Not a two and one. Played all the way to level 100 in summit and still got about 75% RAINBOW rolls. It's quite ridiculous.

    They changed their mind after getting feedback:

    Out of how many items? While RNG could explain *some* variation in our results, it would be concerning if there is this much variance (9.7% vs 75%) over a larger sample size. Even 92 items isn't really enough TBH.

    [edit] suspiciouspixel had similar results to me: https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthrea...5-Rainbow-Loot

    Sorry that I never counted the amount of items that dropped in the 100 levels of summit. Just thought I'd share my experience. Bottom line is, in my experience, rainbow rolls dropped way too frequent that what I was hoping for and this doesn't seem like any improvement on the quality or the rainbow drop. Try to think back when they increase the attributes that drop for heroic and legendary. Everyone saw the increase. Then after many weeks of maintenance updates the attributes are now back to where they were. Is it just me? No. Many people are still talking about this and rainbow is still an issue. Look at this forum.

    None of the threads complaining about it have provided any evidence to support their complaint. One of them even claimed he got a total of 8 pieces from 100 levels of Summit FFS.

    In comparison, suspiciouspixel's thread has screenshots and video, from multiple people. RNG is always going to vary, but providing evidence will give your argument more credibility.

    i have played yesterday summit and now open world, heroic and normal mode. Rainbow-Loot (red for main, yellow the first attribute and blue the 2nd attribute. No more desire to play PTS, possible Division 2 Main.

    agreed, my clan and I ran to 100 and we did only experienced around 10-15% rainbow (red, yellow and blue) which is a lot lower than before and a happy compromise i feel.
