Forums and Reddits and such are good like that. @ Asphodelus. Treasure troves of information.
If they’re any good at all, anyway. Some communities aren’t so helpful or good…
Shooter, yeah, Harvesters are currently bugged for a lot of people. ANY Harvester, ANY rank, ANY class, will pretty much ALWAYS drop the Purple/4C AG4…
Some of us used to call this “the Curse”… Now that any unwanted weapons can be broken down for weapon parts, a valuable resources if one ever wishes to make use of the augmentation feature, some of us have instead taken to calling it “the Blessing.”
The Harvesters all dropping the Purple/4C AG4 doesn’t get in the way of them dropping different weapons—like the Kotenok, or whatever other weapons are in their drop list—but it MIGHT get in the way of them dropping any other rank/tier of AG4. So, if the AG4 is supposed to be in their drop list at ALL, the Purple/4C might kill any chance at 1C~3C or 5C~6C.
I say “might” because I don’t remember whatever what other normal AG4s Harvesters might be able to drop, and I don’t go after Rival Harvesters often enough to see if they can drop the 6C AG4. If The AG4 isn’t supposed to be in their drop list AT ALL, that would make the Purple/4C showing up like it is an even bigger problem…
As an aside, I’ve got another weapon I’ve been looking for, for a long while, which doesn’t seem to drop at all. The Green/2C S21, on the weapons from the US Weapon pack DLCs. I want a Green/2C to compare to the others, make a video, to make a complete bug report on. As far as I can tell, the Green/2C S21 is supposed to drop from Prototype Tanks, but I’ve never had one drop.
The bug with the S21 is that there currently is a problem with the stat cards for the Purple/4C and Gold/5C showing the wrong stats. Their stat cards seem to be swapped, or at least certain values on the stat cards… The weapons themselves do seem to have the correct stat progression, trending upward, (Gold stronger and more accurate than Purple, Blue weaker and less accurate than Purple), so it seems like only the stat cards are wrong.
The Kotenok and several other weapons have had the same problem, before, but they all seem to have been fixed—but the S21’s stat card issue continues to exist… Low priority, perhaps, but every bug needs to be on the RADAR and eventually get fixed, and another report with a good video and explanation couldn’t hurt I think.
If anybody on XBox has a Green/2C S21 they would be willing to hand over to me, I’d be more than willing to hand over just about anything else in-game in exchange. Experimental weapons, Gold/5C weapons, most attachments I’ve got extras of as well. Just about anything. Most resources, normal ammunition types… Help with missions, etc, I could also provide. More reasonable exchanges preferred, not “I just started, I want everything!” but “I’ve been playing for so long, been looking for this or that forever…” would be better, but confirmation is difficult, so any takers would be on the old “honor system”…
