Experimental Weapon drops, when and how after January patch

General Discussion

Yep this happens to me as well. I’ve been in other people’s game and get experimental weapons while they do not and vice versa. We finally decided just to share each others weapon drops. It’s weird. It shouldn’t work like this but it’s the only work around we’ve got at the moment. Works best with at least 3 players, seems to increase your teams chances of at least one good weapon drop. Word of advise though, play with people you know so they don’t cut and run with every ones hard work. Haven’t had this happen to me personally, everyone I’ve come across has been pretty descent but you will get the occasional troll that will come in and start farming your rivals.

So is it correct that after the november update, some experimental weapons only drop from the Reaper Rival? Or do they still drop from all high level rivals? I’m specifically wondering about Exp. Sledgehammer and Exp. PVG 90. Hope someone can confirm what’s the case here. Thanks. :slightly_smiling_face:

Correct me if I’m am wrong, but the exp sledge only drops from the Reaper, all the other weapons drop from regular rivals, a got a bunch of the exp weapons inc 2 x exp PVG 50 from the regular rivals, I’m playing on PS4 if that matters.

I hope that’s the case, and this is how it has been up until now at least. It’s just because the fandom.com wiki states that exp. PVG drops from reaper, but I know that up until now it dropped from any rival. The wiki might very well be wrong on this.

I have gotten experimental PVG drops from both Rivals and Reapers. My limited experience suggests higher chance from Rivals. I believe the wiki is currently correct.

I would like to add this. My character is a level 14, I joined a random lobby to mess around and they had The Reaper spawned. We killed it and I got 3 experimental weapons from it. So not impossible under 25, but very difficult

Hmm… Actually, I hosted a MP session a while ago. I was using a lvl. 18 character, but still we spawned 3 Reapers and I got exp. weapons from 2 of them! I didn’t think of it until afterwards, but this shouldn’t be possible, right? :thinking:

Sounds strange. Are you above level 25?
