    Golden bullet event

    What do you actually get out of this event, I've had cashes of rubbish, in fact most cashes I open i already have the stuff, is this where you have to put your hand in your pocket to get better stuff, I'm at level 40, and shd watch level, 190 and rerunning even legendary missions , does not seem to give me anything special. All the gear seems to hover around the same build levels, armour, offensive, heal etc ect. Am I missing so something, am I doing anything wrong, should I spend more time in DZ ????.

    Caches are caches... they roll at Heroic difficulty level and they give random things. There's no cash to pay to get better things.

    You know that next to the BoO there's a vendor where you can exchange stars for more caches, right? You're not limited to the ones you get in the reward track.

    Personally I spend them all on Named Item Caches, because I have all the exotics and don't need any materials.

    There are two types of reward:

    The actual event reward track, which is a set line beginning with a patch and ending with a trophy. This is probably what you're talking about?

    Then there are cache boxes that can be purchased for the stars that you earn during the event; both for completing challenges and for each level you gain while the event is activated. Just go to the event vendor outside the main entrance to the Base if Operations in DC.

    Those chests can be customized. Named, exotics, etc. You choose and pay accordingly.

    But either way there's going to be random rolls. Expecting constant upgrades or perfect drops is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

    As others have noted, you earn stars as you level up or complete challenges. Those stars can be spent at the seasons vendor.

    I always buy optimization caches as they give a decent amount of optimization materials you can use to max out your gear.

    Not really - loot in the DZ is challenging quality. DZ proficiency caches are heroic quality. However, you can only earn DZ proficiency caches by extracting items or eliminating other agents. Not worth it for most people.

    Buy named caches only.

    Event is fun, the rewards and caches are indeed garbage... So far, any good item I got it was already in my inventory.

    I've gotten 4 Exotic caches from it. One you get from progression, the others cost 20 stars each.
