Balance between Rival level and loot

Hi,
I read a thread about this before, but can’t find it now. Sorry for duplicate.
The balance between enemy level and loot should be reviewed. Today I killed on rival level 2 and one level 4. From the level 2 machine, I got, among other things, a 6-stars AK4. From the 4-stars level machine, I got nothing of value, some ammo, and a first aid kit.

More difficult machines should give more loot, than an easy-to-kill machine.

Thanks for a great game!

Yesterday the same happend to me the lvl 4 military hunter droped 54x7,62mm ammo. Nothing more!!!
Damn i was pissed and frustrated.
Then I went to the next rival to kill somehting. It was a lvl 3 protptype tank. It droped the 6 star rocket launcher.

Wait, you got a 6* Experimental AI-76? I didn’t think they existed. Could you post a screenshot of it?

sorry about it, it was AK4. I remember it was 7.62 ammo :slight_smile:

Awh, had my hopes up there for a while :smile:

I’d love to see the rest of the weapons getting an Experimental upgrade as well, to increase the loot pool.

Yeah, I’m a bit in rage about that, too. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: I mean, when you fight a Level 4 FNIX Tank Rival you have to bring a fair amount of ammo to the fight - especially when there’s a 2nd FNIX Tank around… :open_mouth:

And when it’s all over you get some 7,62 + .50 ammo at best plus a 5* gold magazine extension for the PVG90… That’s simply *meh *

“Fun” fact about that: I didn’t manage to get hold of a 5* PVG90 though… not speaking of a 6* …

So far I got a 6* Glock 17, a 6* KPist, a 6* 12G shotgun and two 6* Granatgevär m49
(I ditched the second one of the latter immidiately, because it’s somewhat useless imho and a waste of precious HEDP rounds…)

And not to forget those Rivals that only gave me the usual loot of their class and level… At least one experimental helmet from a Rival hunter.

And I have the strange feeling, that the loot from Rivals which you invented by your own death have badder loot than those the game invents because of your kills (or whatever causes them to spawn), but that’s just a feeling…

I got my exp shotgun from a harvester that became my rival after it killed me. It was only a level 1 rival and I believe it was military. Kept shooting gas at me. Other than that, no good loot from rivals. Have only had them become my rival when they killed me so far.

Agreed. I found it’s pointless to level up rivals as the chances of dropping exp weapon are the same (or very close). Chance of getting exp weapon is higher if you kill 3 level 1 rivals rather than 1 level 4, and you can spawn and kill 3 rivals much faster than 1 level 4.
