    Finally got it on video(purples from heroic CP big chest)

    Sorry, I wasn't recording the entire CP run. I was just farming while watching netflix. But as soon as I opened the chest and saw purples, I hit record.

    Hopefully it makes sense. You can see my agent sitting there with the open chest. It's the big yellow one that everyone should recognize. You'll see the open world difficulty in the top left corner as soon as I hit escape in the video. This was today. WONY. Heroic open world with 1 directive(special ammo).

    The loot is definitely normal/hard level stuff and not heroic. Definitely a bug and not working as intended.



    Edit: Just an FYI. Despite the title, this is the first and only time I've ever seen this happen in thousands of hours of gameplay across several accounts.

    The rolls on yellow drops are crap as well... Definitely not CP4 level loot

    I know this might sound crazy but sometimes a LV 4 control point can turn into a LV 1 during battle - this has happened to me many times - I have not heard anyone say that its still happening this could be one of those cases.

    Yes, occasionally this bug happens to me, to the point that the 4 items fall all purple, even playing in Heroic with all directives...

    ...and the sudden change from LVL4 to LVL1 during the battle I also noticed... that's probably what causes this loot bug.

    This has happened to me on a few occasions quite awhile back, but when it did happen it showed on the top left going from Heroic too Normal once i reached the cache room, his video shows him being in the cache room and it still shows Heroic.

    I've suspected this happening to me also but was never recording while opening the crate so I couldn' t really make any claims about it. Happened the other night during a CP4 too. Seems to be rare though but either way it still feels like a kick in the nuts when it happens.

    The old bug where the civvies or player dying would cause the CP box to reset to normal? https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthrea...n-Heroic-Cache

    My guess is that the world difficulty is irrelevant given that bug always set the loot quality of that box to normal.

    I am pretty sure (from when I used to play the open world at Challenging) that, after the banner message indicating the CP has been taken, the difficulty level display reverts to displaying the level of the open world, not the CP. So what's being displayed there in the video is not the CP level but the open world level; i.e., the CP could actually have been displaying as Normal just before completion.

    (But I could be wrong about this. Does someone want to do a test run?)

    I've never seen a CP turn to normal when it's already at heroic. But I always have my open world set to heroic. This is WONY so all the CPs match the world setting, so they should also remain at heroic.

    I wonder what kind of coding wrinkle could cause that?

    Same as me, It has happened a few times, very rare so i chose not to report it and just took it on the chin.

    EDIT: Reason being as i find the caches give poor loot anyway, i find the enemy drops around the CP give better loot.....don't think i have had anything good come from a CP cache....well not that i can remember.
