Is that a post from a previous update?
Just asking cause you asked about feedback
fighting rivals after the update. Or are you saying with the update coming on April 27th there is going to be a change?
I am confused about your reply. Sorry
The level 25 requirement was introduced in the January 2020 update. That means only characters with level 25 or more can get exp drops from rivals. I have heard the reaper can drop exp’s for lower than level 25’s. Though I cannot confirm that.
It can drop exp stuff for players with level less than 25. BUT, this isn’t my first character and older ones are already at lvl 31.
Edit: Important thing - my drop was from Reaper and it spawned at realm, where I was guesting.
As MarkNcheese42 stated, in January 2020 update, the experimental weapon drop restriction was put in place and has been effective ever since. I also quoted the exact part of the long list of patch notes.
Since all 4 of my chars have been level 31 long before that update came, i can not personally test if it works. But it should. Also, i haven’t seen any reports of it not working since that update came.
If it doesn’t work as intended, then there is a bug in the game and it should be reported, so that devs can fix it.
Well, I just started a new character so I’ll test it out. Only level 9. Is the reaper an exception or is he included and not suppose to drop before 25?
I just got done playing might play later to or tomorrow.
I beat the reaper and if he drops a experimental I’ll take a pic and post it here.
I don’t want to kill regular rivals though. I wait until 25. Seems then is the best chance for schematics
As far as i know, Reaper isn’t exception. At least, i haven’t seen any official word about it being an exception.
Here’s Reaper announcement, part of the November '20 update: November Update - Patch Notes | Generation Zero
I am pretty sure the reaper can drop EXP’s for below level 25’s. I have heard of multiple people that have had this happen, But I would need to go play my low level character to confirm 100%.
I did defeat the reaper an hour or so ago. No experimental though.
I know in the past after this was announced I did get one. My buddy that I play with also got one when he was around level 5 or so.
Do you know if you already have a character at 25 or higher, that new one will happen to get one before 25? Hope I worded that right.
I don’t really look for those anymore though. I have gotten at least 4 of everyone, except for the kvm 59. I have gotten 2 of those. Just waiting to see if they bring any more to the game.
Do you know if they plan on more experimental weapons in the future?
I understood your question as: Do you get experimental weapon drop with new character, below level 25, even if you already have a character who is above level 25. 
If i understood correctly then it doesn’t matter how many past level 25 characters you have, when you play on a character who is below level 25. Since the restriction still applies. The character you are currently playing with - must be level 25 or above, to get experimental weapon drop.
Yes. Devs have stated that they plan to introduce experimental version of all weapons in the game. Currently, there is one experimental weapon in each weapon class: pistol, SMG, shotgun, assault rifle, sniper rifle, light machine gun, melee weapon and grenade launcher.
Sweet. Thanks again Aesyle.
So after the patch that was to fix the experimental drop I have, and my did get them before 25. Again if it happens again I’ll try for a pic. Thanks for clearing that up.
One stupid question. How do you highlight and post in a reply what someone else wrote.
Don’t know how that done.
Since we’re sort of talking about rivals… is it a bug for a rival to spawn in, then die by player within a few minutes of it spawning, without being near it? I do have a video of that but have no idea how to post it
You just highlight the person’s text that you want to quote and a image will pop up saying “quote”.
This is probably this bug: Rivals and Reapers dying randomly without player interference - #2 by Lonewolf
For proper quote box, you can use two methods:
- BBCode quote tags.
Before the text type: [quote] and after the text, on a new line type: [/quote].
- Selecting the text with highlighting (hold left mouse button and drag across text to select it).
This way and once you release left mouse button, a new pop-up appears next to the selected text which contains word “Quote”. If you click on that button, the entire selected text is copied to your reply area in proper format.
1st method is manual one and i do it sometimes. 2nd method is easier and it also includes the quoted person’s handle to the quote. Also, with 2nd method, a link to the original reply is generated, if you were to copy/paste the auto generated quote format to e.g another topic or PM chat.
MarkNcheese42 answered it.
Thanks for that info aesyle.
So just killed a reaper. Level 13. Here’s what I got. Sorry if the picture doesn’t look that great. Had to take it with my phone so I can post it on herr

Thank you for your info. 
In light of this, it is confirmed that Reaper does not have level restriction when it comes to the experimental weapons, and that, is a game bug.
I’ll notify devs about it and see if we also need a dedicated bug report topic about it.
I knew I wasn’t crazy
Can experimental weapons have a higher drop chance for lvl 25 players bc ive killed alot of lvl 4 rivals and some reapers but not 1 experimental weapon has dropped once for me at all.
I’ve noticed this too but i still very a few for every ten or so hours of play. Mostly PVG 90s…
Although it’s an old topic that should have been closed already I’ll give you an answer:
You can get experimental weapons in different ways, but for drops from machines and during base defenses and assaults (rewards) it always counted :
But before you can collect Experimental weapons, you have to be Player Level 25.
@Zesiir: your turn?
Topics don’t always need to be closed, it’s common for old threads to just cease to be active.
But yeah, it’s past it’s three year expiration date. Cheers for providing an answer.
