So I have been playing ever since the showdown update came out, and I have killed NUMEROUS rivals and bases, and I have only gotten 3 Exp. HP5s, 1 Exp. Sjoqvist, and no Exp. AI76. Did they make it harder or something? It shouldn’t take me this long to get a single gun.
Same here, but I haven’t gotten any of them yet, I think they made the drop rate terrible
I don’t think the drop rate is bad, I have all three. Two from vultures. And several from Rivals. I have at least 3 duplicates in my plundra. And it’s been only 11 days.
Still just got 3x exp HP5.
Besides of that just some really rare drops of old exp guns.
The last three days I just got 2.
An experimental meusser by a vulture and an experimental pvg by a reaper.
Not really satisfying.
Yes, I often said that it’s easier to get experimental weapons than some of the basic or DLC weapons in 5c, but I didn’t mean to reduce the drop rate that far.
Well, it keeps us busy over the last update on, but that shouldn’t be the way, if weren’t used to that kind of grind over the years.
I have three shotguns and the new AI-76 but no HP as yet. To get those I have had to wipe one world clean of rivals, about 20 in all, a dozen in my main world and have done about 20 base assaults. The drops are nowhere near as common post this update.
Another day.
Again no experimental weapons by rivals and just an exp pvg by the vulture.
Not to mention the skins. I just get purple vehicle skins all the time.

I’ve killed 2 reapers, a vulture, literally almost 2 dozen level 4 and level 3 rivals, countless base assaults, but I haven’t gotten a single one of the new weapons yet lol

The experimental drop rate percentage has been dropped ludicrously low to the point of non existence.

10 rivals and 3 vultures. I only found 2 exp shotguns:neutral_face:
Are you on Playstation? I haven’t got a shotgun yet but I have two HP5’s
I’m not expecting to only get the new Exprimental Weapons and still I’ve got one HP5 and 3 Al-76, out of about 20 Exp. weapon drops. It’s 50/50-ish from Base assault and Rivals.
More annoyed that all Hard base assults or level 4 Rivals not giving any Exp. weapon or even a 5C weapon as rewards at all. To get the 20-ish Expprimentals I’ve probably done close to 30 attacks and kills on rivals.
The past few days I’ve grabbed another 4 more EXP HP5’s…along with more EXP 12ga’s, .44 Magnum’s, PVG’s and AG4’s…but still no new AI-76 or Sjoqvist. Could care less about the new shotty but would love to get the AI-76.
One thing I noticed is like if I go to pick off just a lone rival I dont get much of anything in good weapons. But if I get into a fight where all hell is breaking loose and I’m killin’…lootin’…and runnin’ rinse and repeat…I’ll see the good weapons popping up. May just be because of the sheer quantity of enemies tho.
Hurra.
I finally got the exp sjöqvist.
Lvl3 base assault in forest region.
All rivals before that: nothing

Same here. First thing tonight I walked out and there was a level 1 hunter rival on the runway at Overby. Well that is hazardous of course to the holiday travelers so I took him out and got my first Exp. AI-76. Picked up another one later on off a level 3 harvester in the Marshlands near the Mountains border. Then I got the Exp Sjöqvist off of my first Vulture at Boo church. Tried to put out turrets and they just vanish still…so I just stayed in the church and hammered it with my PM-71 with unstoppable augment. Didnt even bother with the things it dropped. Kept getting damned Lynxes INSIDE the church tho!
IMO the AI-76 is ooookkkk…and the shotty is only good for ticks. I’ll stick with my trusty PM-71 with the EMP augment…absolute machine shredder.
Good luck out there guys.
I have 4 6c shotguns now. Grind excessively and not much variation. I only have the HP to get now but just to get any experimental means destroying 10+ rivals.
Today I got another exp HP5 from a lvl3 base assault and a exp sjöqvist from a lvl4 firebird rivals, both in farmlands.
Besides of that there just was an exp Kvm59.
Destroyed 6 bases an killed 4 rivals today.
I’m still missing the exp AI76.
Eight rivals for me yesterday. Only one experimental. Then it is grind, grind and grind more.
I must be getting paranoid as it seems rivals are also harder to generate as well.
Prior to the update, the experimental drops were more generous.
Base assaults that drop an experimental are just as rare.
So far I’ve found one exp.HP5 and 5 exp.Al-76, no Sjöqvist yet.
More annoyed over the Rivals lvl 4 and Hard Base Assaults not giving any weapon at some times.
But a Medium Base Assault can give you an experimental weapon…

The exp HP5 that I got yesterday was from a low level proto hunter rival that I killed “by accident”.
I started the game, spawned at my outpost at guldängen and immediatly was in a big fight again.
I started in front of a Lynx in the center of my outpost 
.
Try it out by yourself… It’s quite fun to get into the game like that… Well and one of the attacking machines was this rival.
So, i played 4 hours yesterday, i took out 11 rivals, more than half of them did not have weapons, just got 1 experimental weapons(none of the new ones) , 2 of them (hunters) had an empty inventory.
4 of them had weapons skins.
