    Targeted loot

    Run Potomac Event Center which was lmg targeted loot, had about 5 drops through the whole mission on Heroic of which hardly any lmg's. To top it off the end boss drops an exotic so I think, finally the pestilence has dropped... Nope its sweet dreams!

    I run it again later and same result including sweet dreams again! What a wind up.

    You want to try and get a Zero-F to drop for Ridgeway's. I've been running targeted Badger's and Chest now for weeks, not had a single one drop.

    I've had four drop since that project then when I cleared the hunters fl 100 they dropped it too. I believe it was on sale a couple weeks ago

    Last week i got two zero fs and they dropped like two days in a row.
    This week i bought the constructor gloves at the snitch shop and today i got it twice, like random and not in targeted area, was like a random drop and a cp.
    I seem to get my best loot at random places, ran the Jefferson trade center for the coyote mask, got sawyer kneepads, chamelion and merciless twice before i got it.

    If I toss an unbiased coin 10 times and it comes up heads 10 times, what does that tell me about the 11th toss? Confirmation bias is a fairly common error that people commit when looking at randomness.

    It tells me the universe is biased against the coin's unbiasedness :P

    But for real, rng can be a pain, OP. We all feel it in our own way and our own time.

    Think my point was that as exotics have a fairly low percentage chance of dropping even on Heroic, why does a non targeted exotic drop. Bit of a daft game mechanic.

    Because an increase in the random chance of one item type does not lessen the random chance of another item type, especially when the targeted loot pool is a separate, additional pool, not a competitive one.
